Summary

By Greg Lee

The Lincoln Cardinals, a 6A school out of Portland, swept the boys and girls titles on a beautiful day Saturday afternoon at the Spokane Polo Grounds. The Oregon school accomplished what it wanted, getting a preview of the Nike Cross Regional course national qualifier next month.

One of the top runners in the nation, Ellery Lincoln, led the Cardinals, winning in a time of 17 minutes, 32.5 seconds. Teammate Elyse Henriksen was third, nearly a minute behind (18:25.7). In between and taking second was Annabelle Carr of Coeur d’Alene Charter (18:11.9). Kyla Roberts of University was the highest-placing Greater Spokane League runner in fifth (18:37.1).

Lincoln finished with 80 points, followed by Gonzaga Prep (104), Ridgeline (117), Mead (124) and U-Hi (131).

The defending champ Coeur d’Alene boys and Lincoln finished with 66 points each. The tiebreaker after the top five runners for each team are scored is the sixth runners for each team. Lincoln nipped CdA by one-hundredth of a second.

Leroy Lozano Majia of Hermiston won in a time of 15:11.7. Less than two seconds behind was dynamic Gonzaga Prep freshman Miro Parr-Coffin (15:13.0). Sophomore Wyatt Morgenstern led CdA, taking third (15:22.3). He was one of three CdA runners in the top 11.

Mead took third with 75 points and Gonzaga Prep was a distant fourth (214).
