LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood boys placed first and the girls second in cross country at the Cascade Conference Championships Oct. 25.

Before the meet, Lakewood took a moment of silence to commemorate those lost in the Marysville-Pilchuck school shooting.

Top finishers for the boys team were: Douglas Davis, finishing the 3.2-mile race second with a time of 16:33:2; Alex Cooper, placing fourth in 17:15:5; and James Hafner, placing ninth in 17:45:10.

Though impressive times, Lakewood head coach Jeff Sowards said the muddy trail kept his runners, especially Davis, from having even faster times.

On the girls team, Keely Hall finished first in 21:02;2, and Lilly Whitehead was second in 21:05;3.

“I think they [Heely and Whitehead] did well. They have consistently worked hard and showed a good performance,” Sowards said.
