Fast times and near ideal weather conditions were on tap on Oct. 20 at Ragle Ranch Regional Park in Sebastopol, as the Greyhounds took on host West County in a competitive cross country meet between North Bay League Redwood Division rivals.
Although West County was the much larger team, Healdsburg turned in an outstanding showing in both JV and varsity races.
Leading the way for the Hounds in the varsity boys race was freshman Kaeden Anderson, who negotiated the 2.65-mile course in fifth place overall in a fast 15:47, one second ahead of teammate Jameson Dankowski.
Pacing the varsity girls was junior Maggie Trebilcock, who cross the finish line in seventh place overall in 20:22. Freshman Sierra Anderson was Healdsburg’s next finisher in ninth place in a strong, 21:34.
Leading the Hounds’ JV contingent were brothers Eric and Ryan Nielsen, who finished in 17:30 and 17:50, good for seventh and eighth place respectively.
