Owen Powell of Mercer Island

State of Washington hosts their State Meet on Saturday in Pasco. Here is the preview of the meet!


1B/2B Girls 9:30


Ruby Henry of Pope John Paul II won the girls 1B/2B race last year and will be challenged by Regan Thomas and Josie McLaughlin of Saint George's School. The team title will be competitive with Pope John Paul II, Saint George's School and Rainier all in the hunt to win.


1A Girls 10:00


Reed Atwell of South Whitbey, Logan Ignacio of Meridian and Sophia Inglin of King's are the favorites for the individual title in 1A girls. Cedar Park Christian is the favorite to win the 1A team title with Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) being a challenger.


2A Girls 10:30


Lil Desler of Sehome

Lil Desler and Sloane Clines will provide the one-two punch for Sehome in the individual race. Sloane Dickson of Lynden and Grace Beachy of Ellensburg are other top girls in the 2A division. Sehome looks to be the favorite to defend last year's 2A team title. Anacortes and Bainbridge hope to make the podium in 2A.


1B Boys 11:00


Westin Madden and Preston Arnold of Valley Christian and Kieran Snekvik of Garfield-Palouse are individuals to watch in the 1B race. Valley Christian and Pope John Paul II are the top teams in 1B.


2B Boys 11:30


Dexter Delaney of Liberty Bell, Treyton Marty of Toledo and Emmitt Warren of Chewelah are the top boys in the 2B race. It should be a competitive battle in the team race with Mount Vernon Christian, Okanogan, Saint George's School, Cle Elum-Roslyn and Chewelah are all contenders.


1A Boys 12:00


William Carroll of Annie Wright

Some of the top boys running the 1A race include Isaac Montanes of Cedar Park Christian, William Reeves of Eastside Prep and Nicolas Luce of Lynden Christian. Will Carroll of Annie Wright is the defending champion. Cedar Park Christian is the class of the field and Bush is a possible challenger.


2A Boys 12:30


Dylan Rowell of Anacortes

Individually Dylan Rowell of Anacortes, Nick Gargano of Sehome and Jacob McManus of Columbia River are some of the favorites to win the individual title in the 2A boys. Sehome boys won the 2A title last year and look to win it again on Saturday. Bainbridge boys will be the likely challenger.


3A Girls 1:00


Cassidy Armstrong of Ballard

Possibly the most competitive individual race of the day may be the girls 3A race. Cassidy Armstrong of Ballard won the Hole in the Wall race, besting Sophia and Victoria Rodriguez of Mercer Island and Elektra Higgins of Peninsula. The Rodriguez sisters went one-two over Ballard at the recent Sea King District meet. Elektra Higgins of Peninsula has only lost once this season to Ballard at Hole in the Wall, but beat Ballard at the John Payne Invitational. The race will be compelling! Bishop Blanchet will hope their depth will prevail over Mercer Island in the team competition.


4A Girls 1:30


Kylah Madariaga of Wenatchee

Kylah Madariaga of Wenatchee finished second last fall in the 4A race and is the favorite to claim the title. Latham West of Bonney Lake moved from 3A to 4A this year and will be a threat too. Mt Si duo of Hailey and Aleeya Cossey, Alexa Matora of Lake Washington and Eliisa Marshall of Camas will also be factors in the 4A race. Mt. Si hopes to defend the 4A title with Eastlake being a threat to win.


3A Boys 2:30


Vincent Recupero (224) of Bishop Blanchet

Owen Powell of Mercer Island is one of the top runners in the nation and defending 3A champion. Vincent Recupero of Bishop Blanchet is a challenger to Powell in the 3A race. Powell's teammate Bodie Thomas of Mercer Island and Kade Brownell of Mt. Spokane are other top 3A runners. Seattle Prep will try to defend their 3A title and will receive a challenge from Mercer Island and Mt Spokane.


4A Boys 3:00


Cooper Boyle of Tahoma

Ezra Teeples of Kamiakin is the defending 4A champion and he will be challenged by Cooper Boyle of Tahoma whose only loss to a 4A athlete was back in September against Teeples at the Fort Steilacoom Invitational. Zachary Leader of Redmond, Connor Rickey and Henry Tait of Issaquah and Isaac Benjamin of South Kitsap are other contenders. Issaquah boys won the 4A title and look to be the favorites with Lincoln (Seattle), Arlington and Kamiakin are other strong teams.
