Newport runners off to state

COLFAX – Grizzly harriers are state-bound after senior Aimee Busby and sophomore Olivia Collins cracked the top 20 at the District 6 1B/2B Regional Championship in Colfax Friday, Oct. 31. Busby placed ninth at 19:48 and Collins placed 15th at 20:05.

“No state predictions, but I will say that the performances of every athlete on our team at regionals were nothing short of spectacular,” coach Morgan Johnson said. “Every single athlete on our team set personal records at the race. This is incredibly rare. In comparison we had only one athlete set a personal record at this same race last year. The total time across our 13 athletes for their personal records was around 25 minutes.”
