Posted

Blaine senior Taylee McCormick capped her career with the Blaine cross country team with a strong finish at the 2A state cross country meet on November 9 at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco.

McCormick, the only Blaine runner to qualify for the 5K race, finished 79th out of 155 runners in 21 minutes and 17.3 seconds.

That’s one of McCormick’s better times this season; her personal best is 20 minutes, 34.3 seconds. McCormick just made the cut for state by finishing 26th at the Northwest District Championships, where the top 28 qualified.

Leah Holmgren of Ellensburg won the state meet in 18 minutes, 16.4 seconds.

For the rest of Blaine’s cross country athletes, the season ended at the Northwest District Championships on Whidbey Island the week before state.

“It’s been a good season. The kids were a joy to work with,” said Blaine head coach Gabe Bolton.
