Varsity and JV 6th at Bellevue!

Under a beautiful autumn blue sky, the boys' teams ran exceptionally well on Saturday at Lake Sammamish State Park in the Bellevue Invitational. Both teams placed 6th in their division and saw fifteen personal bests as a result. Trimming 20 or more seconds off of their PRs were: Sam Gluck, Sam Hendren, Nick Murphy, Izzac Post, Ryan Pritchett, Derek Yamamoto and Jack Laurence, who saw his PR drop by over a minute. Congratulations to the team!
