A true team effort resulted
in victory for the Outlaws
girls cross-country team
last week. They easily won
Division Four of the Seaside
Three Course Challenge held
Saturday, September 17 at
Camp Rilea.
Divisions are made up
according to school popula-
tion, since teams come from
other states besides Oregon.
In all, more than 80 teams
took part in the meet includ-
ing many from Washington
and even a few from
California. In its 26th year,
the Three Course Challenge is
one of the largest cross-coun-
try events on the West Coast.
The Three Course
Challenge requires that var-
sity runners draw poker chips
randomly from a can — with
white designating the easy
course, blue moderate, and
red difficult. Points are added
from the results from all
three races to determine team
winners.
Sophie Borders set the
tone for the day with a very
strong showing in the easy
course, which was approxi-
mately 4,500 meters. She
cruised to eighth place overall
and second among runners in
Division Four with a time of
19:40. Engracia Diez was the
other scorer for the Outlaws,
finishing in 34th place in
21:20 among 268 finishers.
The moderate race
included 301 girls, and the
Outlaws fared well in the
large field of runners. Anna
Bartlett placed 26th (24:28)
and Amy Hills came through
in 67th (26:12) on the tough-
est course they will see this
season.
However, sophomores
Tate Ricker and Molly Winter
faced an even more challeng-
ing course, working their way
through the steep sandy hills
and the muddy bog to clinch
the win for Sisters. Ricker
placed 52nd (26:39) and
Winter 88th (28:07) among
268 finishers.
“This was a good time to
run a tough course and have
the girls deal with a large
crowd in rough conditions”,
said coach Josh Nordell. “It
will make next week’s flat
course at Portland Meadows
be quite a contrast.”
Jordan Pollard nearly kept
his winning streak alive with
an impressive second-place
finish in the boys easy race as
he lead the team to a seventh-
place finish in Division Four.
Jackson Bowe was the second
scorer for Sisters with a time
of 19:48.
Cole Pade led the way in
the moderate course, finish-
ing fortieth out of 429 racers
in 20:55. Will Werts finished
in 23:47.
Freshman Josh Liddell
cracked the top 100 in the dif-
ficult course, placing 99th in
23:01 among over 400 run-
ners. Jack Berg crossed the
line in 25:45 to complete the
scoring for the Outlaws.
