LAKEWOOD – Teams and runners participating in the Hole in the Wall Invitational cross country race Saturday afternoon faced one obstacle most might not have expected – warm weather.
But unseasonably high temperatures did not discourage the Marysville-Pilchuck boys as the Tomahawks ran to first place in a major invitational for the second consecutive weekend.
Led by Brandon Whitaker’s seventh-place finish, the Tomahawks compiled 98 points to outdistance South Whidbey, with 108 and Lakes of Tacoma with 115.
South Whidbey’s second-place finish was fueled by two runners in the top ten – Breydon Giswald, who was fourth, and Brett Perkins, who was 10th.
Lakewood coach Mike Evans, whose team finished sixth in the meet, felt the that the heat did not impact the runners all that much.
“It was a good day and a hot day,” he said, “and the times were actually pretty good. We had 30 teams out and nearly 1,000 runners participating, and I think all the kids had a great experience.”
Among local schools, Shorecrest finished fifth behind Spencer Walsh’s ninth-place finish, while Stanwood, Everett and Cascade all finished in the top 10.
In the girls’ race, Mount Baker took first behind Bobeya Krishnek’s fourth-place finish. Mount Baker had 67 points, 14 ahead of second-place Sehome.
Mount Baker is currently ranked No. 1 in the state 2A poll, and coach Dominic Urbano was looking for a good performance in the major invitational.
“We went down there hoping to win,” he said, “and this was certainly a big victory for us. I don’t believe we ran our best race, but still pulling out the win is something special.”
Edmonds-Woodway’s girls team also had a strong race, finishing fifth overall. Kelsey McCallum had the best finish for the Warriors, taking fifth with a time of 19:10. Alana Schutt was next highest for Edmonds-Woodway, taking 14th with a time of 20:40.
