| Prior Years Eisenhower Yakima WA was a gracious host everywhere except on the course, where their US#9 boys won 5 of 7 races and were second in the other two for a powerful score of 9 points. Eisenhower jr Robbie Barany won the #1 seeded race handily (below). US#5 Snohomish WA girls held off Washington #4 Kamiakim 22-25. Fastest out of 3,000 runners were Vancouver BC's Anita Campbell 17:59 (Megan O'Reilly 18:25) and Jackson WA's Jeff Helmer 15:30 (winning the #2 seeded flight).
Preview - The Snohomish WA girls, ranked #5 nationally in The Harrier, and the US#9 Eisenhower Yakima WA boys are favored. Unique format has 7 varsity races, one for each team's #1, #2, and so on. The meet record can be equalled but never broken -- the Mead Spokane WA boys won every race once for a score of 7. Only five boys have broken 15 minutes on the hilly, 3-mile course at Franklin Park in Yakima. The girls record is 17:24 in 1990 by Rogers Spokane's Sara Schwald, who still competes as a professional runner for Nike. Prior Years
