As the fall season ends, volleyball, football, soccer, and other sports look for a chance to extend their season at state. A team that consistently goes to state is Eisenhower's Boys Cross Country team. For the past two years, the boys’ cross country team has been district and league champions. This year, the boys took home their third league title and are still seeking another team qualification to state. After their league meets in Wenatchee, the boys seem to have a good chance at qualifying once again for the third year in a row!
Just last week, Ike ran at another one of the biggest meets in the state, Nike Hole in the Wall. There, Senior Kian Compton placed 7th overall in the Boys elite race with an incredible time of 14:52! Senior Zophie Hopkins also placed 17th overall in the Girls Gold race with a new PR of 18:53! Incredible performance from both these amazing athletes.
At the Cadets’ home meet of Sunfair, Kian Compton won the Boys Gold race, beating Davis’ Joshua Whitney by .8 of a second in an incredibly close race. Freshman Errol Strom took 13th place in the same race. Justin Lucas won the Boys Frosh race with an impressive finish. On the girls’ side, Zophie Hopkins took 9th in the Girls Gold race. Senior Cristy Trujillo took 4th in the Girls Silver race. Aaliyah Silva and Melianna Meza took 8th and 9th in the Girls Frosh race. Congratulations to each athlete involved!
