In a heat of six teams from classes 1A to 4A, student-ath- letes from Cottage Grove com- peted in a 4x400-meter relay event. The Lions took home third place with a little bit of rust in their technique, but Knutson says that it was more about the experience than anything else. “The kids will probably never get to do anything like this again for the rest of their lives,” he said.

According to Knutson, even sitting in the waiting area was a great experience as the high school athletes mingled next to world-class profession- als from all over the world. While the relay team didn’t necessarily perform as best as they could, the more important aspect of the trip was to simply be a part of the whole experi- ence and enjoy a professional and international perspective on the sport they enjoy themselves.

The last time these championships were held in the United States was 1987 in In- dianapolis’ Hoosier Dome, only the second championship ever hosted. Since then, it has been held all over Europe and parts of the Middle East, making this op- portunity an extremely rare one for local high school athletes. The National Champion- ships were held the weekend before, where several other Li- ons were invited to compete in a high school meet that fea- tured athletes from all over the Northwest.

And while many runs have been allowed, there’s been a pattern of improvement. After each game, the Lions are giving up fewer and fewer runs. Frieze also says that the play- ers are remaining positive dur- ing their struggle. “They all have a really great attitude,” she said. Looking forward, Frieze says the defense will begin to step up as the pitchers learn consistency in their game.
