“We have a lot to feel
good about with how we
raced at state and for the
season as a whole,” said
Astoria coach Andrew Fick.
“(The Astoria boys) came in
ranked 15th in the state and
fi nished eighth. Being a top
10 team is a big deal, mak-
ing it out of our league and
representing at the state meet
is a big deal, and it’s always
good to see Astoria near the
top of the list in 4A.”
It was the best fi nish for
the Astoria boys since 2012,
when the Fishermen also
took eighth.
“We have some good
momentum now with our
