Both the boys and the girls qualified for the state meet today, and all of the runners on the team ran great races. The weather was cold and rainy all day, and the meet got about 30 min. behind schedule. Nonetheless, our runners handled the circumstances like pros.
The girls finished in 4th place overall. Our district is the toughest in the state for the girls. The top five teams qualified for the state meet. The qualifiers were: Kingston 73, Interlake 76, North Kitsap 85, Lindbergh 91, Port Angeles 140. Sarah Reiter finished in second place overall. Anna Patti, Ariel Hodges, and Mercedes Tischer all poster lifetime PRs, while Jasmine Fallgreen ran her season PR.
The boys dominated their race, placing all seven runners in the top 21. This means that all of our runners would have qualified for the state meet as individuals. The team scores were: Lindbergh 38, Kingston 89, Interlake 103, Olympic 107, North Kitsap 127. Mark Garcia finished second overall, while Luke Garcia finished in third. Mark, Luke, Mohamud Abdi, Alex Nelson, and Travis Downen all ran PRs.
