Mile times improve dramatically for XC team

Mar Lee competed in the Parkside Middle School cross-country meet at Ella Sharp Park, September 26. The meet was very well attended with approximately 10 schools running in the 5^th/6^th grade race and 10 schools running in the 7^th/8^th boys and girls races.

Mar Lee’s 5^th and 6^th graders ran the 1.5mile race together. The boys were competing in their second race of the season while the girls ran their first race. Mile times were improved across the board for the boys, in some cases by a minute. We will have to wait and see in the next race for the girls’ display of improvement.

Terek Straham took 7^th place for the boys.

Jordan Yahsha took 14^th place for the boys.

Mar Lee’s 7^th and 8^th grade boys ran a 2mile race and also showed mile time improvement. All runners are looking forward to the next meet this Saturday at Bellevue.
