Shorewood cross country boys & girls teams win Wesco South Team titles

Shorewood Cross Country Team and Coaches

Cross Country season has entered the postseason. This last Saturday (10/24/26) Wesco League Championships were held at Granite Falls HS to determine League Champions and Individual League Honors.

It was a beautiful fall day in the PNW with added excitement and anticipation of the Homecoming Dance later in the evening and the Homecoming Assembly and Game (Shorewood beat Shorecrest in the Rotary Cup matchup) the day prior.

Shorewood competed well with 40 athletes on the team achieving new Personal Bests (PB or PR for Personal Record) over a 5k course. 

For the JV runners this was the culmination to their season and for Varsity this meet marks the start of the postseason. Congrats to any of our seniors, as well as seniors from other schools, who completed their XC careers!
