Neola Putnam was one of over 3300 runners who participated in the Sunfair Cross Country Invitational in Yakima on Sept. 30. Contestants from British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington competed in the event touted as the largest cross country competition in the Pacific Northwest on the hot fall day. Race categories included third through sixth graders from the Yakima area; seventh and eight graders; high school runners; and a community coaches fun run. Neola completed her three-mile race in 25th place in her flight and 52nd overall in the high school girls' competition. Miss Putnam will also be competing at a four-school meet at Highland High School on Oct. 3 and an invitational cross-country meet in Leavenworth on Oct. 7. Although Neola is practicing with the Goldendale High School team, due to a co-op situation, she still wears the Glenwood colors and is running for our school. Best wishes Neola as you complete the remainder of this cross country season.
