Published 1:14 pm Wednesday, October 8, 2014

It was a busy Saturday, Oct. 4, for the Cedarcrest High School cross country squad.  In the morning, boys and girls teams competed at the Sunfair Invite in Yakima.  In the evening, it was the Homecoming dance for many of the cross country squad members. Spikes in the morning, dress shoes and high heels in the evening.

Madi Shinn was the fastest on the day as she finished second in the sophomore race.  Ruby Farias and Kiana Ward followed. For freshman girls, Kate Vergillo finished 16th.

For the non-freshman boys, Ian Fay was the fastest, finishing fifth in the sophomore race.  Isaac Harper and Cameron Hammontree were in the top 10 in their respective races. Among freshman, Grant VanValkenburg and Ben Benson both finished in the top 10 in their race.

Athletes of the Meet were Daniel Gutmann, Peyton Lantis, Justin Young, Ruby Farias and Nicole Hagens.  All five of them had their fastest races of the season.

Sunfair is Cedarcrest’s last invite of the season.  From here on, meets are regular season conference meets and the post season championship meets.

The Red Wolves host their only home meet of the season on Thursday, Oct. 9, at Blue Heron Golf Course in Carnation. Races begin at 4:30 p.m.
