F r e s h m a n B r e a Blankenship was the second Siuslaw runner and sixth indi- vidually to cross the finish (20:23.96), followed by soph- omore Anne Wartnik with PR time of 20:30.85 for 7th place. “Anne ran a picture-perfect race,” said Johnson. “She was patient and just kept moving up the whole time.” Fellow sophomore Chloe Madden finished ninth (20:59.69) and freshman Gracie Freudenthal took 14th place (21:43.75) to finish out the team’s top five. Senior Kaylee Graham was 20th overall and sixth for the Viks with a time of 22:36.53. “The girls came in fired up, with a strategy that didn’t real- ly go according to plan.” Johnson said. “Even though they won, they were a little disappointed. I just told them to take what they learned here and bring it to the state meet.” The girls team took the title with a 27-point advantage over second-place South Umpqua, 38-55. North Bend was a close third place (58), followed by Marshfield (70). In the boys’ division, the Vikings came in with 28 points, followed by Marshfield (49), North Bend (86), South Umpqua (99) and Brookings-Harbor (116). “I’m proud of them,” said Johnson, who will take both teams to the OSAA 4A State Championships on Nov. 4. “Both teams were really on- point in both races. Now, we’ll get ready for the other race that matters most. If everyone is healthy, there’s no telling what order they’ll cross the finish line in.” The state meet will take place at Lane Community College in Eugene.
