Highlights

Klamath Union had a great day, placing their top 4 runners
in the top 20 but it was not enough to cover the gap between 4th
and 5th runner, and Bend won the 4A boys title 100 to 118.
Bend managed the win despite losing their number 5 runner at the
last minute because he missed a class Friday. Lauren Jesperson
and Jacob Gomez of Klamath Union went 1 and 2 in 15:29 each,
over 3rd place Davis Axel of Sunset. Jesperson was glad for the
win after last year collapsing with 300 meters left to go, and finishing
last. The top 23 runners advance to Border Clash.
When the team scores were announced the South Eugene girls
were very disappointed to learn they had placed 6th in the 4A
girls competition despite having a great meet. A short while
later that disappointment turned to joy as a scoring error was discovered
and they jumped from 6th place to 1st place over Sunset. The final
scores were South Eugene 130, Sunset 147, and Sheldon 160. Individually
youth won out as no seniors broke the top 4. Junior Christy Paul
of Hood River Valley won easily in 18:27, the fastest winning
time in 8 years. Sophomore Meghan Armstrong of Tualatin was second
in 18:48 and junior Emily McMahon was third in 18:50. The top 23
runners advance to Border Clash.
Wilsonville dominated the 3A boys competition, with
seniors Kobi Daum and Henry Emron going 1 and 2 in
16:18 and 16:23 to lead their team to victory in 50 points. Runner
up Phoenix scored 102 and 3rd place Astoria scored 108. Phoenix's
top 3 placed 4-5-6 in 16:25-16:28-16:32 led by sophomore Kyle Gillete
who was followed by two juniors. The top 12 runners advance to Border
Clash.
Philomath girls have qualified to the state meet a record
22 consecutive times, but had not won a championship since 1990.
Defending 3A girls champ Rogue River had won the last five.
All of that changed Saturday as sophomore Brianna Anderson-Gregg
finished 1st in 18:54 to lead Philomath to victory and give them
their first individual champion since 1983. Teammate Molly Malone
overcame a knee injury suffered mud wrestling to place 22nd overall
and be the number three runner for Philomath. Sophomore Danielle
Jordan of Baker placed 2nd in 19:05 and senior Brynn Cogdill of
Estacada finished 3rd in 19:16. The top 12 runners advance to Border
Clash.
North Clackamas Christian is probably glad they had a cross
country team this year. Junior Jeff Goertz won the State
2A/1A championship for them in a time of 16:47. Troy Blackburn
of Stanfield finished second in 17:10 to lead his team to
first place in a tight race with Oakridge. Both teams scored 97
points but Stanfield won on the tiebreaker. Knappa senior Jesse
Brockey finished 3rd in 17:13 and sophomore Jed Moffitt was the
top finisher for Oakridge placing 4th with a time of 17:19. The
top 5 runners advance to Border Clash.
Union girls took the 2A/1A title beating Caitlin
Gabel 73 to 81. Junior Shalene Fine of Oakridge won the title
in 19:46, the fastest time for classification since 1995, and leading
her team to a 3rd place finish. Neoma Palmer of Caitlin Gabel placed
2nd in 19:59 and Stephanie Upshaw of Union placed 3rd in 20:15.
The top 5 runners advance to Border Clash.
