PAGE B4, KEIZERTIMES, AUGUST 31, 2018 McNary begins XC season at Night Meet South Salem girls shine By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes WILSONVILLE—If Mc- Nary cross country coach David Holcomb was hoping for clarity on who would run varsity for the Celtics this sea- son, he didn’t get it here. Opening the season at the Wilsonville Night Meet, Mc- Nary had 12 boys fi nish the 3K within less than a minute of each other. “We have a lot of guys competing for those seven spots, pushing each other and I think that depth is going to help us throughout the season and as we get towards districts at the end,” Holcomb said. Francisco Orta had the fastest time of any McNary runner, fi nishing the senior race in 10 minutes and 43 seconds. Not far behind were sophomores Ethan Whalen in 10:52.1 and Gavin Gasperini in 11:00.5. They were followed by Andrew Goemaere (11:11.1), David Allen (11:16.8), Caleb McCoy (11:19.2), Brennan Whalen (11:20.8), Nathan- iel Prout (11:31.2), Francisco Hernandez (11:38.2), Drew Bartlett (11:41.3), Emiliano Lopez-Sanchez (11:42.2) and Tyler Dougall (11:43.5). McNary doesn’t have the same depth on the girls team. Sabella Alfaro and Makay- la Long fi nished the senior race in 13:18.8 and 14:59.5, respectively. Reyna Terrazas fi nished the sophomore race in 13:36.8.

We’re excited to see where that goes. We’re go- ing to focus on improvement with the girls, personal im- provement and then building a team culture to push each other and get more girls into the program.” McNary will compete in its fi rst 5K on Saturday, Sept. 8 in the Ash Creek XC Fes- tival at Western Oregon Uni- versity.
