Chelan Goats win the CTL XC Championships

By Richard Uhlhorn

In cross-country it is all a numbers game and where the individual runners place overall that determines the team winners. Yesterday, Thursday, October 23, on a perfect day for running, the Goats and Lady Goats both captured this year’s Caribou Trail League Team Championships. The Lady Goats are repeat winners having won the championship last year also. The boys placed third last year, so elevated themselves to the number one position.

In the girls varsity race, Gabby Guillen was challenged on the 3.1 mile course by her Lake Roosevelt challenger and it wasn’t until the final run up hill that Gabby pulled away for good and coming down the side, opened a substantial lead to take first place in 17:48.

The rest of the Lady Goats ran great races to complete the team win with Lyndsey Fox placing fourth in 18:53, followed by Mari Schramm in fifth place with a 19:03. Madi Knaub and Cody Knaub ran 13^th and 14^th respectively with Mirell Carreon and Sara Waskewitz running 16^th and 17^th.

On the boys side it was senior Chase Anderson finishing in third place with a 15:36 time on the course. “He isn’t having his best day,” said Coach Mark Anderson. It was good enough to lead the Goats to the team victory with Raven Berman placing a solid fifth place with a time of 15:53 and Cyrus Desmarais placing sixth place in a time of 16:08. Niles Desmarais was 11^th followed by Tyler Clark in 13^th place. Jorge Maldonado was 23^rd and Jorge Maldonado was 24^th.

Over on the JV side the young girls came in first, second, third, fifth and seventh to win that race. (see results below.)

The JV boys were lead to the finish line by Hank Burton who ran a respectable 17:35 for first place. He was followed by Ian Wyant in second place with a time of 17:46. (See results below.)

On Saturday, November 1, the two teams will head to the District VI Championships at Walla Walla State Park in Wenatchee. Time will be announced later.
