Our boys and girls both finished in 6th place at the state meet yesterday. This is the best combined result in the history of the school–Lindbergh has never had two teams place in the top 10 in the same year. The previous best finish for the Lindbergh girls was 10th, meaning that this is clearly the best girls team ever. Only one boys team has placed higher than 6th (last year's team, which was 4th).
The girls were only 8 points away from 5th place, and the boys were 15 points away from 3rd.
Only 3 girls teams ever from the Seamount League have placed higher than we did this year: 1978 Renton 3rd, 1979 Kennedy 3rd, 1981 Renton 5th.
No other team in the state this year had both their boys and girls teams place in the top 6 at state.
Two of our individual runners made the podium this year: Sarah Reiter was 14th and Trevor Thompson was 12th.
Most importantly, our team had tons of fun this weekend and enjoyed a team experience that I am sure we will all remember for a long time to come.

Both the Lindbergh boys and the girls teams qualified for the state meet today at the West Central District meet. Half of the schools in the entire state are in our district.
