Mohamud continued his winning ways at the West Central District meet, winning by :09. He is the Seamount League Champ, the Sub-District Champ, and the West Central District champ. Great job Mo!

The boys team took second place in the meet, qualifying for the state meet. Our boys team has qualified for state eight years in a row, and 10 of the past 11 years.

The girls team just missed a state berth, finishing in 6th place (the top 5 qualify). Two of our girls qualified individually, however. Thuong ran an impressive race, finishing 7th. Christine also ran a very strong 21st place finish.

The state meet is this coming Saturday in Pasco.
