the teams
Washington has swept team honors in three of the last four years, and they have a formidable lineup again. The boys are led by the near dead heat 4A finishers Kelly Spady of Kamiak and Robbie Barany of Eisenhower Yakima, plus Mead's Laef Barnes. The girls are led by undefeated 4A champion Brie Felnagle of Bellarmine. Fastest in the Oregon state meet were Central Catholic Portland jr Kenny Klotz and Coquille jr Holli Dieu.
The two states face each other at opposite ends of the soccer field. When the cannon fires, they race towards each other
before turning into the chute to start a 4.5k journey through the Nike campus.

Now in its sixth year, this unique meet is already a classic in the Pacific Northwest. The top 40 boys and top 40 girls from each state's cross country championship are invited to a weekend in Beaverton. After registering in the Prefontaine Building, with Pre's statue and museum nearby, the 160 athletes enjoy a Saturday night dinner with name runners. Then, on Sunday morning, the two states race toward each other in medieval jousting style before turning in to the 4500 meter course that winds through the spectacular campus of Nike world headquarters.
Athletic images are everywhere on the Nike campus, including the bigger than life size poster of Steve Prefontaine (left) and the statue of Michael Johnson, complete with gold spikes, at the track in the woods (right). |
