Here is a quick rundown of Washington athletes that competed at the Arcadia Invitational in California on Saturday.
The Central Valley girls use a balanced attack in the relays on both the track and field. North Central dominated the relays on the track.
The Washington State Teams brought it today to the Nike campus, wrapped it up in a big box, put a Green Bow on it and brought it all back home (after watering it a little). The Washington Boys, lead by Miles Unterreiner of Gig Harbor 14:13 and Jonathan Lafler of Tahoma 14:17, dominated today. 16 of the top 20 runners, on the Washington Team. The Washington Girls, led by 4 time Borderclash attendee, Nicole Cochran of Bellarmine Prep, 16:23 did the same. 13 of the top 20 girls were from, guess where? WASHINGTON!

As the girls and boys of Oregon and Washington warmed up for the 2007 Nike BorderClash they had two definite things in common: they wanted to win, and they were all very familiar with running in the cold and the rain. The crowd could feel the adrenaline once the cannon was fired and each state took off from separate starting lines, running directly at each other, and then merging onto the main course. The rain and cold air were no longer a factor, and like dedicated runners they focused on the task at hand.
