TACOMA — The Roughriders claimed eighth place in boys competition and 10th in the girls race at the 20-team Bellarmine Invitational on Saturday.
Port Angeles was one of only two teams not on the 3A or 4A level.
Rider boys were led by returning senior starter Nick Schindler, covering the 2-mile course in 10:47.
“My race was a little slow, only one runner broke 10, which was somewhat surprising,” Schindler said.
“Because I went out a little slower than I’d like to, there was a lot of traffic to run through and that further slowed me down.
“All in all, I felt OK with my effort. I’ll probably go out much faster at Salt Creek and try to hold a 5:10 pace.”
Port Angeles will host the Salt Creek Inviational this coming Saturday.
Also putting in a strong showing were newcomer sophomore Michael Ahrens with a time of 11:01 and junior Kyle Tupper in 11:32.
On the girls side, freshmen runners Annika Pederson and Finley Wahto set the bar high with sixth and eighth place finishes, respectively, in the frosh girls race.
Pederson’s time was 14:54 and Wahto’s time was 15:08.
In the girls varsity race, Lizzy Stevenson led the way for the Riders with a good effort of 13:14 for 25th place in a race with state-championship caliber runners.
Hannah Wahto made a strong showing of 13:50 for 50th place.
“The race was dotted with state champions from the different state classifications, which made for a fast pace,” Stevenson said.
“But that was alright since it helped me do my best.”
Port Angeles next hosts the Salt Creek Invitational. New this year will be a one-mile race at 9:15 a.m. for elementary students.
