Alexa Efraimson will be just one to watch.   There will be a wealth of talent on display tomorrow at the Westside Classic at American lake near Tacoma. 

Elijah Armstrong of Pocatello In the northwest Oregon & Washington runners made their final adjustments prior to their State qualifiers & Idaho runners ran their qualifiers.  The big news was on the national level, where Sara Baxter put in a performace, that was perhaps second only to that of Melody Fairchild.   Baxter ran three miles (not a 5K) at Mt. SAC in 16:00. 

Much action of note but the races of Amy-Eloise neale at Stanford & Andrew Gardner at Mountain West top the list for area runners.

Amy-Eloise Neale was the top story in the Northwest but there was much happening around the nation of note as well.

Wilmot by Craig Rice Kai Wilmot, Amy-Eloise Neale, Jose Macias & Elijah all broke records and Katie Knight showed she is back as well during a week full of action that included another run-away by Kenai's Allie Ostrander.

Olson & McPhee Great day of running with victories by Andrew Gardner, Joe Hardy & Patrick Gibson for the guys and Chandler Olson, Katie Knight and Sanne Holland for the young ladies.

Korey Krotzer, Chandler Olson, Maddie Meyers & Marcus Dickson were but a part of a solid weekend of Track & Field.   There was much to cheer this weekend even beyond the great event at Centennial including Marcus Dickson's 1:49.45 and Maddie Meyer's 9:37.18.

Emily Nist at Foot Locker (Colleen Collins pic)   There was much to cheer last week for area Track & Field athletes but Emily Nist of Bishop Kelly became one of the few girls' to break five minutes for the 1600.
