Raider boys' cross country had a successful day at Omak Oct. 7, taking second out of seven teams.
"The boys team ran very strong, placing second to Cascade while defeating four other schools," Head Coach Gary Darnold said. "This was a total team effort as each runner on the team makes an equal contribution to our team's success."
Cascade, a 1A Leavenworth high school, finished first with five runners finishing in the top 10. Coach Darnold explains the scoring system: "Cross Country is a sport where each runner on a team has equal importance to the team score as each team's first five runners' places are added up to get a team score, with the lowest team score winning."
Lake Roosevelt beat all Central Washington League competition. Tonasket took 3rd, Brewster fifth, Bridgeport sixth, and Oroville seventh.
Chris Oates was the first Raider across the finish line in the three-mile race, taking seventh with the time of 18 minutes, 2 seconds.
Ray Yazzie was right behind Oates, taking 8th in 18:19. Robert George finished 15th with a career PR time of 18:59. Cameron Tillman was the fourth Raider across the line at 22nd overall with a time of 20:03. Cole Trotter came in at 31st with a time of 20:36. Will Friedlander improved his time at Omak by over 100 seconds and his career PR in a 3 mile race to 21:19.
Raider Loryn Moore took second place at Omak.
Kaden Trotter took 47th with the time of 22:43. Edmund Fenton finished 56th at the time of 23:49. Bradley Wilder came in at 62nd with the time of 24:17. Braxton Hernandez took 63rd in 25:25. Quincy Williams finished 66th in 25:45. Aiden Derr was 72nd at Omak with the time of 27:31.8.
With an incomplete team due to injuries and illness, LR had only three girls running at Omak. The varsity race at Omak featured only 28 girls compared to 75 in the boys race.
Loryn Moore led the Raiders, finishing second in 21:03. Kayla St. Pierre came in 13th overall in 23:52. Alyssa Oates finished 25th overall in 28:57.
The Raiders are preparing for the Oroville Invitational at Lake Osoyoos State Park this Saturday with high school races starting at 12:30 p.m. Fourteen schools will compete, with all Central Washington B League schools in District 6 racing.
