Shorewood Boys & Girls Cross Country Teams qualified for the State Championships this past Saturday, November 2, 2024 at Lakewood HS in Arlington!! 

The rain held off for race time, a few PRs on a soggy slick course, and Shorewood will be represented well at the State Championships in Pasco this upcoming weekend! 

This is back to back years that the Boys and Girls teams have qualified for the State meet in the same year and before that the first time since 1984 in the same year. 

Five of fourteen Shorewood runners ran new personal bests over a 5k course.

Congrats to Max Billett for winning and becoming the individual NW District 1 Champion winning with a time of 15:28.1 for a 5k race just outkicking teammate Otto Erhart (last year's District Champion and last week's WesCo South Champion). Last year Max was the WesCo South individual Champion.

The Shorewood Boys placed 6 in the Top 20 and as you may be able to put together, with those outstanding efforts the Boys team secured the NW District 1 Regional Title, securing a 3-peat making them back to back to back Regional Champions and returning to the State meet!
