Trevor Nichols led the pack, who ended up placing third as an in- dividual. Joseph Sherman chased after him, followed by Edward Ellsworth and Kamron Drury. Before 20 minutes had passed, four out of five of our runners had finished. At this point, Heppner and Culver were competing for third place. As the sun started to peek through the clouds, Roen Waite crossed the line just in time to secure the bronze for the team. “The whole course was muddy and slippery,” said Trevor Nichols, a junior at Heppner High School. “I was tired.
