It has been a good seasons so far for Mount Si cross country. At the meet on Wednesday, Sept. 23, Mount Si won both boy’s and girl’s varsity events.

Coach Christine Kjenner said the growth she has seen this year has been impressive.

“They are all coming in strong and performing very well,” Kjenner said.

At the meet on Wednesday, the boy’s and girl’s varsity races were won by Joe and Hannah Waskom respectively. Joe, a freshman, is currently their top varsity runner.

The girls team achieved a full sweep earning the top five rankings for the race.

“In all this time we have never had a sweep in the girls team where we get first, second, third, fourth, and fifth,” Kjenner said. “They train together to bring each other up. The varsity girls team is one to watch.”

On Saturday, Mount Si cross country went to Portland to compete in the Nike Invitational where they ran against schools from Washington, Oregon, and California.

Kjenner is happy that the team has an inclusive atmosphere and that everyone is showing improvement.

“I’m looking forward to the growth that they’ve shown from the elite runners to JV. To have a sport where growth can be shown at all levels is great,” Kjenner said. “Now it’s just fine tuning and racing.”
