Grant Union had a full
boys cross country team run-
ning in Friday’s 3A/2A/1A
District 5 Championships at
Pendleton Community Park.
“The weather was beau-
tiful, and the course was flat,
which makes for PR’s (person-
al records),” said Grant Union
head coach Sonna Smith.
Thanks to a generous do-
nor, most of the varsity team
members were provided with
cross country spikes for the
race.
“Coach Brandon (Smith)
and I were both happy with
how the athletes performed,”
Sonna said. “We had some
outstanding efforts on both
varsity and junior varsity, and
that translated to personal
bests.”
Setting a season record was
junior Bo Olson with a time of
19:52. Sophomore Cole Deit-
er, junior Braden Spencer and
sophomore Donavan Smith
also set personal records.
On the girls side, sopho-
more Erika Dickens earned a
season record, and sophomore

Grant Union cross country runners make their start at
the 3A/2A/1A District 5 Championships in Pendleton.
Sierra Cates set a personal re-
cord.
Sonna explained how com-
petitive their league is.
“Most
districts
in
1A/2A/3A get to take the top
three teams and top five in-
dividuals to state,” she said.
“Our Special District 5 gets
to take only the top two teams
and top five individuals,
which really makes no sense
because we are overloaded
with talent.”
She added, “Our district
has had the men’s first-place
team seven times since 2007,
and five out of the last five
years, ladies teams from our
league have placed first or
second at state.”
Out of 11 teams, the Union
boys placed first with Burns
in second place.
