SPOKANE – Cheney cross country teams finished with split decisions in a Greater Spokane League meet at Ferris High School on Oct. 11.
"The girls got a quality win against U-Hi," Coach Derek Slaughter said, referencing the Blackhawks' 27-30 win. "We used our 6-7 runners who are freshman to win against a good U-Hi team."
Lewis and Clark collected the other half of the competition, 23-32. Hannah Ward's 19:57.07 time was good for fourth and was the top Cheney finisher.
Cheney's boys lost another nail biter, 27-28, to Lewis and Clark in half of the dual, but eased past University, 16-46, in the other.
Calvin Hilton ran a 16:15.27 to win the individual title. Cheney also had Cameron Frenk (16:35.45/3rd), Lucas Matos (16:52.15/5th) and Holland Hurd (17:21.16/9th) in the Top 10.
"A few years ago, we were at the bottom of the GSL when we entered the league and this year, we were one point away from winning it," Slaughter said. "Slowly, but surely this group is learning to win."
Cheney hosted a GSL race with Ferris and Gonzaga Prep on Oct. 17.
