Eatonville Cross Country shines at second meet

The Eatonville High School cross country team continued their strong start to the season with a dominant performance at their second meet. The boys’ team secured a first-place finish, while the girls’ team fell just short of a full squad to compete for the overall title.

Boys 5,000 Meter

In the boys 5,000-meter race, Eatonville showcased impressive depth and talent. Colton Rush led the charge, placing third with a time of 17:55.67. Close behind were Gabriel Kolsrud (8th, 19:12.58), Tytus Goode (12th, 19:32.56), and Titus Lowe (13th, 19:35.19). 

Girls 5,000 Meter

While the girls team didn’t have enough athletes to compete for the overall team title, they still put forth strong individual performances. Hannah Bieker led the way with a fourth-place finish, clocking in at 22:18.03. Paisley Ashcroft (8th, 25:04.40), Alice Alexander (19th, 36:29.92), and Savanna Price (20th, 37:50.88) also contributed to the team’s success.

Looking Ahead

Eatonville’s dominance at their second meet sets them up well for the remainder of the season. The team will look to build on their momentum as they host a 2A SPSL meet on Thursday, Sept. 26 at Camp Arnold. Steilacoom and Washington will be joining the competition, providing a challenging test for Eatonville.
