EHS XC Meet Results 2016
Enumclaw v. Auburn and Federal Way, Game Farm Park, Auburn (5000m)
9-21-16, 65 Degrees and sunny with a light breeze
General Comments:
For many of our athletes this was their first visit to the multi-loop course at Auburn's Game Farm Park. The boys team came away from the contest with two dual meet wins. The Lady Hornets ran a strong race and split the competition, posting a win over Auburn and racing to numerical tie with Federal Way. However, in cross country the placement of the 6th runners for each team are used as a tie-breaker. On this metric the Hornets were edged out by the Eagles, but not with regard to heart or determination. Thanks again to our intrepid contingent of parents and community members that followed us to the Game Farm Park to offer support for the team.
Meet Highlights:
- Boys team posts two dual meet wins while the girls split the meet with a win over Auburn and a tie-breaker loss to Federal Way.
- Hunter Storm and Teagan Eldridge each posted two dual meet individual victories
- Hunter McGowan ran to a strong 4th place overall finish for the boys team
- Payton Roberson finished 3rd overall with an increasingly quick time over the 5k distance
- Natasha Puzon and Anna Bursch are both closing in on the 22 minute barrier over 5000 meters
- Bryn Zeman Witzel ran her way to 5th position on the girls squad with a significant improvement on her season best time.
