David Goodrich and Perez placed 31st and 32nd respectively. Prettyman completed the race in 51st place, followed by teammates Morley, Prince and Olsen. Approximately 200 runners competed in the run.

The runners also left Tuesday’s meet against Delta High with a pair of second place finishes. For the boys team, Paul Goodrich finished second, Perez took third, David Goodrich finished fifth, Prettyman took 13th and Beau Morley took 14th.
In the girls division, no school was able to field a full team so only the top three runners were counted for points. Paige Morley placed fourth, Ashley Anderson placed seventh and Horrocks finished 10th.
