As is tradition for the Hawks Cross Country team, the team is gearing up for another successful season where expectations are high and goals even higher.
Last year’s season ended in heartbreak when they took fifth place at the Northwest District, which ousted their state chances by a single placing.
This year though, the team plans otherwise and full focus is going to be paid on making it to state.
“Go to state!” As eloquently put by senior Captain Matt Watson is what he had to say when asked what his personal goals are and what his goals for the team are.
For the Hawks to make a visit to state, Watson said, “This year we’re looking for our juniors to step it up and compete. Michael O’Neil, Ben Miller, Jake Howell as well as seniors Art Segami and Jonathan Cheever.”
“Jackson and Snohomish are going to be the toughest competitors,” commented Watson.
The first meet is the Edmonds District Invite Sept. 13 at Edmonds Stadium at 8 a.m.
