Last week wrapup and looking ahead

Last week the AMHS team ran two competitive two mile races, one against the rivals in the Cascade Conference and the other against some of the best runners in the state and nation at the Sehome Invite over the weekend.

The Cascade Conference Jamboree was an excellent starting point for the mostly young AMHS runners. Underclassman Peter Smith finished 4th overall while Lyndsey Dorney finished 5th overall. Other impressive runs from the boys team included a Paul McGoorty who is much improved due to an incredible summer of training. Also impressive were a trio of sophomore boys including Gunnar Swenson, Tate Johnson and Ben Adams. On the ladies side senior Molly McDade ran very solid and newcomber Gemma Miller was our third runner.

The Sehome Invite on Saturday was an impressive array of some of the best runners in the state and also the nation. The AMHS team raced competitively and was paced by the following individuals who placed in the top 20 in their respective races: Lindsey Dorney (9th in the sophomore race), Peter Sheenan (12th in the JV race), Peter Smith (12 in the junior race) and Charles McDonald (19th in the JV race)
