West Linn’s Wyatt, Brown lead the way at state cross country

It was time to test the best. So that’s just what the Three Rivers League’s best cross country runners did. Competing at the Class 6A state meet, held Saturday, Nov. 7, at Lane Community College, the TRL’s best proved themselves worthy, with the West Linn boys and Lakeridge girls teams both notching eighth-place finishes at state, while Lakeridge’s boys took 13th. Girls meet While Lincoln senior Ellery Lincoln made the biggest headlines at state — she won the 5-kilometer race with a 16:57.6 — the TRL’s best showed out, too. West Linn junior Eleanor Wyatt competed at state for the third straight year and posted her best finish yet, racing to fourth place in the field of 140 with a time of 18:16.4. “I’m pretty happy with it. I think I competed well and I made good moves,” said Wyatt, who previously won the Three Rivers League championship.
