Cedarcrest’s cross country squad ran their last regular season meet of the year, Thursday, Oct. 16.

The four-team meet was hosted by Cedar Park Christian and held at St. Edwards State Park in Kenmore. The two-mile short course was a new one for the Red Wolves, allowing them to work on speed.

Cedarcrest put eight girls in the top 10, which included the top three spots. Madi Shinn finished first, followed by Ruby Farias at second and Kiana Ward at third.

The boys put six in the top 10, which included the five spots after the first place boy.  Ian Fay was second, Cameron Hammontree was third and Issac Harper was fourth.

Athletes of the meet were Duncan Zuvich, Jarod Miller, Greta Klaiber and Katie Bell.  All four of them are cross country rookies this year and have shown continual improvement as the season has gone along, said coach Bruce McDowell.

Cascade Conference Championships are this Saturday, Oct. 25, at Lakewood.  It’s the last meet in which the entire CXC squad competes.

“We are doing our best running right now so we are looking forward to see what happens,” McDowell said. After that, it’s districts on November 1, and, with luck, state on Nov. 8.
