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.

15:07.1
“We have a lot of new fac-
es on the girls side,” Holcomb
said. “It’s going to be a pro-
cess getting the girls numbers
back up. 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.
