Hood River’s combined middle school cross country team (comprised of runners from Wy’east and Hood River middle schools) completed its season on a high note over the weekend at the middle school state meet in Portland, where the girls team finished in second place in the 3,000 meter Super Champs division (top division).

Runners from Hood River and Wy’east middle schools joined forces this season on a combined middle school cross country team of about 60 runners. For the second race of the fall, the team hosted St. Mary’s, The Dalles and Hermiston last week at Hood River Valley High School as a lead-in to the Eagles’ annual Skip Sparks Invitational meet later that afternoon.
