Siuslaw’s boys and girls cross country teams weren’t able to live up to their top rankings in Class 4A, each finishing second at the state meet on Saturday at Lane Community College.
Bandon’s girls also earned a trophy in the meet by finishing third in the Class 3A girls race.
Siuslaw’s girls were trying to take their sixth straight crown, and had the top two individual finishers, but couldn’t hold off Marist.
Raelyn Robinson won the individual title in 19 minutes, 47 seconds, with teammate Samantha Pummer three seconds back. Teammates Linda Paredes and Clarita Twombly were ninth and 16th, respectively, but the Vikings were hampered by a 63rd-place finish from Lillian Lee, the team’s fifth runner.
That allowed Marist to take the team title. The Spartans had all five scoring runners in the top 25 and finished with 58 points, to 66 for Siuslaw.
North Bend placed 10th, led by Katie Romanko, who had her best-ever finish at state by crossing the line in fifth place. Far West League champion Chelsea Spencer of Sutherlin was third, giving the league four of the top five finishers.
In the Class 4A boys race, Siuslaw’s Joseph Campbell, Jacob Berkner and Brad Finnell were fourth through sixth, respectively, but Henley had six of the top 19 finishers, led by individual champion Jed Tolbert, to take the team title. The Hornets finished with 49 points to 57 for Siuslaw. North Bend was 12th.
