Both the boys and girls squads fi n-
ished in sixth place on the afternoon,

Other Lady Pro runners fi nished
31st, 32nd, 33rd and 40th. The fast-

a time of 26:02.0 and the lone fresh-
man on the ladies squad, Jamie Van
De Hey, who fi nished with a time of
29:01.7.
The Grant Union boys team fi n-
ished with 136 points and was led by
Brady Dole, who was the team’s sole
medalist on the afternoon. Dole fi n-
ished in sixth place out of 56 runners
in the 5,000-meter varsity race with a
time of 16:34.6.
The next-fastest runner for the
Pros was Quinn Larson, who fi nished
29th with a time of 18:26.9. Landon

Grant Union cross country coach
Sonna Smith said her team ran a great
race in preparation for the district
meet in Pendleton. “They ran very
well. This course is fl at and a lot of
hard surface, so it gives outstanding
times,” Smith said.
“My whole boys team has the
best times they’ve had all season. It
doesn’t hurt that it’s a home course,
too,” Smith added.
The girls team also logged some
of their best times todate, setting both
squads up to run their fastest races of
the season at the district meet. “Most
of them felt good about their races,
so that’s always nice, because we’re
going into district next week and we
wanted to have a positive race before
district,” Smith said.
Smith also said the race course at
Seventh Street was good preparation
for the district meet due to the courses
being similar in nature. “Pendleton,
we start out on grass and run a little
longer than (we do) here. Then we go
to a section where they’re running on
pavement again and they fi nish up on
grass,” she said.
“This course has less grass than
Pendleton but it has the same start on
grass and fi nish on grass. That is actu-
ally one reason we made it that way,
so they would be ready for Pendle-
ton,” Smith said.
The boys’ goal for the district meet
is a top three fi nish, which would guar-
antee them a trip to the state meet. The
girls have had some injuries, accord-
ing to Smith, so their goal is to get to
the district meet healthy and run the
best race they can as individuals.
The 3A/2A/1A Special District 3
cross country championships will take
place on Friday, Oct. 28, at the Com-
munity Park in Pendleton.
The second match in High Des-
ert League tournament play also took
place on Saturday, Oct. 22, and saw

in the day with a 3-0 sweep of the
Lady Mustangs to qualify for the state
tournament.

Shannon Adair, City Council
REELECT
John Day has been my home for most of
my life. I raised my family here, coached
the high school dance team for 19 years
and I’m currently the managing partner at
1188 Brewing Company. When I was in high
school in the 80’s our population was approx-
imately 2100. We are now at 1640 and we
need to turn that around by creating a desir-
able community for generations to come.
With your support, I would love to serve this
community by continuing as a city
councilor.
I support:
• The Waste Water Treatment Plant that not only treats waste, but will
give the community an additional 80 million gallons of class A water
for landscaping and irrigation, in addition to many other non-potable
uses. This project has taken 6 years to plan and fund. It would be a
mistake to try and go backwards and start over.
• Broadband to support remote jobs
• 3D Housing and private/public partnerships for additional housing
• Parks, Trails and Recreation for a more desirable community to live in
• Public Safety – I will continue to support county-wide solutions that
don’t charge only the citizens of John Day twice and are financially
feasible
• Grant Funding for critical, complex projects
• Continued work on tourism to support our local businesses
• Job Creation by continuing to create desirable spaces that will draw
business development to our community
With your vote, I will continue to work to move John Day forward to a
more vibrant, exciting community that future generations will want to
call home.
