Shorewood XC competed well at the State meet this past weekend. For the third year in a row Shorewood qualified both girls and boys teams to the State meet in the same year. Before that it hadn't been since 1984 that both teams qualified in the same year.

The trip to Pasco was wonderful. On a beautiful day our athletes competed with the best from around the state. It was a tough field on a difficult course. Our runners competed well -all should be proud of their efforts, and all should be proud of the athletes representing Shorewood XC as well as Shorewood/Shoreline as a whole.

 
The boys team placed 2nd!!!, marking the best State finish for the boys team in school history!!
