Lil Desler and Sloane Clines will provide the one-two punch for Sehome in the individual race. Sloane Dickson of Lynden and Grace Beachy of Ellensburg are other top girls in the 2A division.

Dexter Delaney of Liberty Bell, Treyton Marty of Toledo and Emmitt Warren of Chewelah are the top boys in the 2B race. It should be a competitive battle in the team race with Mount Vernon Christian, Okanogan, Saint George's School, Cle Elum-Roslyn and Chewelah are all contenders.
1A Boys 12:00
Some of the top boys running the 1A race include Isaac Montanes of Cedar Park Christian, William Reeves of Eastside Prep and Nicolas Luce of Lynden Christian. Will Carroll of Annie Wright is the defending champion. Cedar Park Christian is the class of the field and Bush is a possible challenger.

3A Girls 1:00
Possibly the most competitive individual race of the day may be the girls 3A race. Cassidy Armstrong of Ballard won the Hole in the Wall race, besting Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez of Mercer Island and Elektra Higgins of Peninsula. The Rodriguez sisters went one-two over Ballard at the recent Sea King District meet. Elektra Higgins of Peninsula has only lost once this season to Ballard at Hole in the Wall, but beat Ballard at the John Payne Invitational. The race will be compelling! Bishop Blanchet will hope their depth will prevail over Mercer Island in the team competition.
