Young Shorecrest XC runners step up to the challenge

before the Twilight Costume Race

On October 3, 2026, Shorecrest attended the 18th Annual XC Twilight Invitational at the Memorial Golf Course in Everett, WA. While resting many of our top varsity athletes who traveled to major invitationals over the last two weekends, we featured our up-and-coming young runners. They truly stepped up to the challenge!

The Women's varsity race was led by three of our more experienced runners—Delilah, Nicole, and Harper—who set a strong pace for the group. The entire team finished within one minute of each other, resulting in 5K personal bests for Natalie, London, Gillian, and Dayana.

In the Men's JV Freshman/Sophomore race, all eight of our athletes achieved season or personal bests. In the Women's JV Freshman/Sophomore race, nine out of ten runners also set a season or personal best.

Congratulations to all of our athletes, and thank you to everyone who participated in the costume run at twilight. We are excited for the promising continued growth of the Shorecrest program.

Shorecrest's next race is the Mountain Loop Invitational at Granite Falls High School on October 10, 2026. Come out and support our Scots!
