The Jackson boys and girls cross country teams dominated last weekend’s Western Conference 4A South Division championships.
The Timberwolves won both the individual and team titles.
Wolfpack senior Caleb Knox passed Kamiak’s Kelly Spady on a slight rise around 300 yards from the finish and raced away to a 10-second victory. Jackson’s Jeff Helmer placed fourth.
Jackson had five finishers in the top 15 to seize the team title with 38 points. Kamiak (62) took second, followed by Edmonds-Woodway (76), Mountlake Terrace (101) and Shorewood (122).
In the girls competition, Jackson runners took five of the top 15 places, allowing the Timberwolves to squeak by Kamiak for the team championship, 59 points to 62.
Other top area finishers included Edmonds-Woodway’s Kate Southcote-Want, who placed third, and Mountlake Terrace’s Estelle Kills Right , who was sixth.
In the boys race, Edmonds-Woodway Derry Betts and Michael Stewart were sixth and seventh, respectively. Meadowdale’s Daniel Stabbert was eighth.
