GNL #3 -- WV, PUL,

On Wednesday the Blackawks had their third league meet of the year and traveled to East Valley to race on a very difficult course. Even though East Valley was in the race, we did not score against them because we already met at the Fairways two weeks ago.

The JV boys started off the meet racing very well in a tight pack again beating West Valley 25-33 and Pullman 17-46. The boys were led by Derek placing 3rd overall in a time of 19:31 followed by Spencer and Dakota in 4th and 5th respectfully. As a team the JV boys had their top 9 runners all within 52 seconds which is a great pack time.

With two of their top five girls sitting out for this race the girls ran very well and showed their strong depth putting 7 in the top 10 overall. The Blackhawks were led by Amie with a time of 21:14 to secure wins over West Valley and Pullman by perfect scores of 15-50. Others running well for the girls included Amanda in 6th overall with a time 22:03 and Mariah in 7th with a time of 22:29.

The most competitive race of the day was the Varsity Boys with all four teams evenly matched on paper. Running controlled through the first half, the Blackhawk Boys took over this race on the hill using their strength and patience. At the finish they were led by Devon, Aaron, and Jacob in 4th, 5th, and 6th respectfully all within 17 seconds of each other. Running well together Nick and Corey secured victories versus both Pullman 26-29 and West Valley 25-30.
