XC District Championship
Noah, Isaac & Sean - the 3 top runners for Washougal
The Aberdeen runner to the right of Sean was the favored winner - Poli Baltazar. Sean and Isaac have been watching his times all year, and he's been ahead of them by 20-30 seconds all season.
The top 3 runners in the District
Isaac looked strong - he and Sean wanted to pass Poli at about one mile to get in his head.
Isaac started struggling in the last 800-1200 meters. Poli took the lead with Sean right on his tail.
Sean ended up edging out Poli and took first place in the district - it was a very exciting finish. He finished in 15:42:99.
Isaac came in third with a time of 16:02:69.
Isaac was a bit disappointed with his finish - he had high hopes of beating either Sean or Poli. But, despite battling a cough/cold this week, he had a good performance and will be headed to State Championships next week in Pasco.
Thanks to everyone who came out and showed Isaac your support - it really means a lot to him to have family there. Every time he has a meet, he asks who is coming to watch him. And he had a great showing on Saturday. Thank you.
Next week, we head to Pasco. We will be leaving Friday in order to get Isaac there to preview the course and be with his team. The race will be taking place at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco. We've looked ahead and it is going to be a chilly weekend, so if you are coming out, dress warmly - it's going to be a cold day.
We're proud of Isaac -
You're a winner to us any place you come in. When its first place, we'll whoop and holler. When its second place, we'll whoop and holler. When its third place, we'll whoop and holler. Anything else other than 1st, 2nd or 3rd, we'll still whoop and holler. We're just very happy that you're out there representing your school, yourself and your family. PaPa and Grandma Barb :)
