“The only good use for a golf course”: Senior Bryce Mefford and sophomore Ki Thomas approach the second mile marker in their Varsity Cross Country meet at Cedarcrest Golf Course. With only a mile left to go, Mefford injured his ankle and fell to his coaches seconds after this photo was taken. With a grimace, Mefford dropped out of the Varsity race and with his coaches help, limped back to the Lake Stevens XC tent. Though he was injured, Mefford is expected to make a fast recovery and race in at the Wesco Divisional Meet on October 21.
