Things to watch in the postseason

as posted in the Redmond Reporter October 21st, 2011 at 11:02 am by Tim Watanabe

With the regular-season sports schedules winding down, the favorites and front-runners for the fall postseason have emerged – and I’m happy to report Redmond is home to many teams that have a great shot to do some damage!  Some of these teams we’ve covered a lot but there’s one out there that hasn’t gotten a lot of coverage so let’s start with them:

1.  Redmond Cross Country

The Mustangs’ perennially strong XC team had one of the highest turnouts in the league and is as deep as ever this year. The girls went undefeated in 4A Kingco at 7-0 and the boys more than held their own, with both teams performing extremely well at the recent 4A Kingco Championships.

The girls won by a landslide, with 44 finishing points (add up finishing places of top five runners), with the next highest team being Issaquah with 89. Megan LeGresley and Kelsey Dunn crossed the finish line together in 18:39 to place second and third, respectively.

The boys finished second behind powerhouse Garfield, with junior Johnathan Stevens obliterating his season best time, running 15:54 to place fourth overall. Max Dunn set a personal best, running 16:06.  In total, according to head coach Denis Villeneuve, 69 out of 73 runners posted season best times at the Kingco meet, an amazing statistic.

They look to be a shoo-in to make the 4A state meet, so after a disappointing 12th (girls) and 10th (boys) finish last season, the Mustangs are eager to get another shot at a state banner, and I think they will succeed.
