12 runners in the top 15.

<Pearl has raced the past

• Huge organic &
natural selection

showing a lot of <heart and
potential.=
<Normally we have about
14 weeks in a season, which
gives new runners a chance
to really build a base and
adapt their bodies to run-

long,= said Nordell. <These
kids have literally had to 8hit
the ground running.9=
The shortened season
comes to a rapid close for
the Outlaw runners with the

Tillamook.
<We are tremendously
grateful that there will be
a 4A state meet despite the
impact of COVID-19,= said
Nordell. <Our varsity kids
