Freshmen Alyssa Powers (Goldendale, Wash.), freshman Andrea Collins (Spangle, Wash.), senior Ashley Adams (Lebanon, Ore.), freshman Madison Lewis (Anchorage, Alaska), freshman Bobbie Clauson (Emmett, Idaho), and sophomore Melissa Peterson (Cascade, Ore.) all competed as individuals.
On the men's side, Snell turned in a time of 26:29.10 on the 8K course to finish 7th individually in helping lead the Warriors. Meanwhile, sophomore Jeffrey Schloemer (Mt. Vernon, Wash.) and junior Brian Beeson (Soldotna, Alaska) turned in a pair of sub-28 minute races in times of 27:04.00 and 27:28.00 respectively to finish in the top 15 individually.
Along with the sub-28 minute trio, freshman Kevin Cook (Ashland, Ore.), junior Jason Bernard (Salem, Ore.), freshman Jason Hardrath (Baker City, Ore.), and sophomore Michael Baxter (Kent, Wash.) rounded out the scoring for the Warriors. The quartet ran the course in 28:24.00, 28:28.00, 29:07.00, and 29:11.00 respectively.
