Yesterday, the RHS girls’ varsity completed their season at the District 2/4 Championships at Lincoln Park and did not advance to the State meet in Pasco. Last week they took the last qualifying spot (6th) to advance to the District Championships for the second year in a row. Heroic finishes under slick conditions were turned in by many girls who saw their times drop on the same course from the previous week.
Congratulations to the team and all of the girls for a great season! With all of the returning talent, there is a lot to look forward to.

The Roughrider varsity outran Garfield, Inglemoor, and Liberty yesterday at Liberty High School: Roosevelt 31, Inglemoor 42, Garfield 67, Liberty 68. The results can be found for all runners at the link below.
The results of all of the girls races so far can be found on the RHS page at athletic.net: http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/School.aspx?SchoolID=498 This site will be the primary location of all meet results this year.
Athletic.net has some nice features. For example, clicking on a runner’s name will provide you with a record of that runner’s performances this season as well as previous seasons. It also provides a team schedule that you can print out if you want to. The Tomahawk Twilight Meet (9/27) and the Silver Lake Invite (10/4) are meets where only the girls’ team will compete.
If you have any pictures you want to share, send them to me and I’ll upload them to the team photo site, bluesky (at) scn.org
