BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge High School cross country runners Ryan Cox, Devon Reynolds, Johan Griesser, Ben Scott, Emma Goidel and Julia Denlinger have been named to the Washington Cross Country 2016 East West All-Star Roster.

The All-Star Race was established by the Washington State Cross Country Coaches Association to recognize the accomplishments of graduating seniors who have excelled in the sport of cross country. The All-Star team is made up of the top graduating male and female runners from all five high school classifications.

Senior athletes who competed at state and placed in the top 125-150 make up the annual team.

Coaches can recommend a non-state competing senior to the team as well, if he/she has met the time standard. Non All-Star seniors can participate in the Run of the Mill race.

The All-Star Race event will be held on a fast 5k road course in conjunction with the “Run of the Mill” 5k on Saturday, June 25. Race information and athlete rosters for this year’s boys and girls teams are available at www.watfxc.com/east-west-all-star-race.

In past years, according to BHS officials, Spartan runners have set some fresh 5k personal records on this relatively fast out-and-back course. Several BIXC competitors have been awarded college scholarships from the WSCCCA at the All-Star race as well.
