December 2, 2006
Portland, Oregon
The top 20 teams in the nation qualify for this awesome race!
BUT, in 2006 they offered an "open" race for the first 30 teams to register and we jumped at the chance to run!
The guys ran great and placed 14th in a very competitive environment with great teams, ankle deep mud, hay bales, freezing
temperatures, long spikes, and very fast Kenyans!. Michael Machado and Antonio Dorado led the squad once again.

Congratulations to the Boys' and Girls' Cross Country teams as they competed in the State Championships at Woodward Park in

all-state by 1 second! The boys made their 8th state appearance and qualified an incredible 5 years running. They placed
