The Raider cross country crew ran last week at the Omak Golf Course in the Okanogan Invite, where all of the Raider runners set personal records.

“The Okanogan Invite went great!” Head Coach Ann Green said. “Everybody set new personal records, cutting off nearly a minute off their times, which is fantastic!”

The weather was slightly breezy a bit chilly, and the course was mostly grass, Green said, with one major obstacle being a hill toward the end of the course.

Kyle Edmo was the top placer for the Raiders in the 5,000-meter race, placing 31st out of 69 runners with a time of 18 minutes, 40 seconds.

Colton Jackson placed 43rd in 19:21; Germaine Sittingcrow placed 57th in 21:26; Zack Sellers finished 62nd in 23:44; Alonzo Adams finished 63rd in 23:50; and Tyler Palmer finished 65th in 24:29.

Eighth-grader Chase Marchand won the seven-runner, 1.5-mile middle school race with a time of 7:58.

Green noted Marchand’s first-place finish as standing out, and noted that Palmer shaved two minutes off of his time.

Raider cross country travels to Tonasket this Thursday to compete starting at 4 p.m.
