The Eastlake girls cross country team showed its typical strength Oct. 22 at Lake Sammamish State Park in winning the KingCo 4A championship. Eastlake, the defending state champs, had four girls in the top 10 finishers and scored 35 points, ahead of Redmond (69), Roosevelt (130) and Woodinville (141), among other schools.
Katelyn Steen, of Eastlake, finished in third overall with a time of 18:58.9, about 52 seconds behind winner Anna Dailey, of Garfield. Morgan O’Connor (fifth place) ran the course in 19:09 and Erin Blodnick earned sixth place with a time of 19:21.3. Eastlake’s Chelsea Orr finished ninth in 19:42.6 and Megan Batty took 12th in 19:52.4. Alie Dorsey, of Eastlake, took 14th with a time of 19:55.3.
Eastlake’s boys made the cut to districts with a sixth-place 142-point finish.
The Skyline boys took third in KingCo with 109 points and Kyle Branch scored the highest of all Spartans with a third-place finish (16 minutes, 0.2 seconds). Mark Frerker placed 14th with a time of 16:16.3.
The Skyline girls took seventh place at the meet with 184 points, which was enough to advance to districts Oct. 31 in Kelso.
“We feel pretty fortunate to be moving on,” said Skyline coach Brendan Hyland. “We were a little worried there for a while.”
