Lindbergh Cross Country

This season was the 4th year in a row that the Lindbergh girls were league champs and undefeated.

League meet

The 1994 league meet was held at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle and was a real 5K. The Lindbergh girls won the league meet and the Hazen boys won. The race conditions that day were raining and occasional thunder.

The Lindbergh girls won with 42 points over second place Mt Ranier's 56 points. The Hazen girls had a 1-2 finish in Jenni Nelson (19:54) and Stephanie Davidson (20:26). Lindbergh's top girl, Sarah Gagnier, took third place with a time of 20:35. No other girls were under 21 minutes on this difficult course. Heidi Swif,  normally the team's #1 runner, sat out of the race with the flu. "Seniors Kelly and Chase Gregory came home a surprising fifth and eighth while Vivian Keeney finished 11th for Lindbergh."¹ 

The Hazen boys dominated the boys race (18 points) with their top 5 runners in the top 6 spots and their 6th runner was 9th. Hazen's Tom Hildrum and James Day lead a 1-2 finish.
