Graydon 4th and 5th at State

Graydon wrapped up his season in Pasco with a 4th place 9:16 and a 5th place 4:16. The 9:16 was the second fastest 3200 run by a Capital athlete. The fastest, 9:10.01 was run by Graydon a week before at districts. The 4:16 1600 was the second fastest by a Capital athlete and just shy of the 4:15.8 record.

Amanda fought a very aggressive battle in the 3200. She ran the first mile in 5:30 and was in the top group and then her seasons bout with anemia began to catch up with her. She struggled bravely to the finish running a very decent time. I had numerous people, who knew about her anemia problems, comment about how tough she ran.

Guys - sweats in on Weds. Anyone - ultimate frisbee afterwards.

Ultimate Frisbee May 30 - Sweats hand in

There will be an ultimate frisbee game right after you hand in your sweats on May 30. It will be on the football field right after school and everyone is welcome. You bring the frisbee.

May 30th will be the last day to hand in sweats without a late fee.

Track Banquet

A big thank you to all of those making our banquet and season a success. Again as I said last night, we are able to do more than the average team because we have way above average parents.

Big Weekend Ahead

This will be one of our biggest weekend ahead for track and Cross Country. Not only do we have the District Meet at Mt Tahoma, but we have the Capital City Marathon.

To top this all off, on Monday at 6:00 we have our awards banquet featuring hamburgers flipped by Jack Uglick. This will be a combination celebration of the season and a send off to those participating in the state meet.

League Meet

For information on the league meet go to athletic.net. Photos should be arriving soon. A league championship for the girls and a fourth for the boys which was one place higher than we had predicted. Both the boys and girls teams are young and we should get better each year.

Distance - wise we dominated with firsts in the girls 800, 1600, 3200 and first in the boys 1600 and 3200. We also picked up a second in the 800 and numerous thirds, fourths, fifths etc.

I'll try to get district info. up tomorrow.
