For the girls, Cheyanne Price and Aubrey Meadows finished fifith and eighth overall, respectively.

Head coach Geoff Olson said he was proud of his teams.

“Joey Mueller has been our number one runner all season and continues to push the rest of the team,” he said. “Austin Frink has come on strong at the right time, and Owen Van Eaton and Cole Pedersen have been very consistent. On the girls’ side, freshmen Cheyanne Price and Aubrey Meadows have had an amazing breakout season.”

The boys will compete Thursday at Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland for districts, while the girls team will compete Saturday at South Whidbey High School.
