NICE--It's been a pretty decent weekend as we had a drying trend show up that helped brighten everyone's spirits, I bet. I think it also brought out everybody's lawn mowers one more time and hopefully the last. While the day time temperatures were nice, it was in the mid-30s here Saturday night, definitely on the nippy side. While we may be lulled into thinking we've got time to prepare for the winter ahead, I'm thinking we better get with the program as we are into the third week of October, and heading into the fourth. Where is the time going...

October 4 at Ilwaco Wahkiakum results Wahkiakum Coach Marie Riley filed this report: Last week's Ilwaco meet found us with a smaller than normal team. We had kids out of town and others not feeling so well. The weather didn't exactly cooperate, either, and most of the kids would have been happy to just not run that day. It had been raining and the trails were less than optimum; very muddy and slippery. Kids' times are continuing to fall and you know that they are out there working hard. In the high school race Collan Riley placed 15th in...
