Lindbergh girls win district cross-country meet

The boys take second place as a team, but finish first and second individually.

The Lindbergh girls won the district cross country meet for the first time in school history Saturday.  And they didn’t just win–they gapped second-place North Kitsap by 40 points (61 to 101).

Lauren Wick finished third place overall and Feven Fessahatzion finished 7th.  Lindbergh’s top five girls each qualified for state individually by placing in the top 25.

The boys just missed 1st place Sequim, getting eclipsed by 3 points (77-80).  The Renton boys were third with 118.  Endalkachew Abebaw won the meet by :34.  Colton Maddy wrapped up a 1-2 finish for Lindbergh by fighting off a late charge by the chase pack to finish second.

This is the ninth year in a row that our boys have qualified for the state meet.  The girls have made it four of the last five years.

The state meet is Saturday in Pasco.
