The Shorecrest cross country team had great success in The Mook meet in Tillamook Oregon on September 20, 2025 competing against approximately 80 other teams, many of which are very high ranking in the region.

Our runners far exceeded all hopes and expectations for this race with 26 out of 37 athletes running personal bests in the 5k distance!

Additionally, the girls team is currently ranked 2nd in the state in the 3A division. One runner broke the overall Shorecrest school record in the 5k distance with a time of 18:10 and one other girl finished with a time of 18:38 breaking the 5K sophomore school record.

Our top three boys in the elite category were freshmen! Two of them broke the previous Shorecrest freshman record for the 5k distance with times of 16:20 and 16:28 and the third boy ran a time of 17:46. All three boys have been a great addition to the team and have an exciting future ahead.

Shorecrest will be hosting our home meet on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at 3:30pm in Hamlin Park. The competing teams will include Kamiak, Everett, Meadowdale, and Sultan. This is a great opportunity to come to a nearby meet and cheer on the runners!

    If I want to watch do I just go stand somewhere in the park? I walk often there and see white poles with arrows and sometimes chalk arrows on the ground, but dang I have no idea where the course is or goes - how do the runners know??

      Hey! Typically, the races start by the lower Hamlin baseball fields. The course changes depending on the hosting team and the distance they want to run. The white stakes you see in the ground were an old eagle scout project based on a version of the 5k course, if I remember correctly. Our course tomorrow will be 2.1 miles, and it will be marked with chalk. To watch, it is probably easiest to watch from the grass field at lower Hamlin, but you can stand anywhere along the course, you just might not see the runners as much or as many times. The first race starts at 3:45pm!

    There will be a lot of places to view the race but the start and finish are the same. That would be a great place to come watch! We would love to have your support and it should be a fun meet!
