Senior Rafe Holz took home first place in Bellingham last week. Now Holz and the rest of the team prepares for Districts, their last stop before State.

Sedro-Woolley High School’s Cross Country team has done it once again. Senior Rafe Holz managed to take home another first place at Bellingham’s Civic Stadium last Wednesday.
Holz has improved a great deal in only a short amount of time. Last year, as a junior, he placed fifth in the same 5K race.
“It felt pretty good. I’m satisfied with how I did and I look forward to getting better,” said Holz.
As Holz finishes up his last year, the freshmen runners are preparing to take over. Second place at the meet was taken by a freshman from Sehome High School. The next SWHS student to place was Tove Schweizer, who placed 18th.
The team is preparing for districts, which will be on November 1 at South Whidbey High School.
“I’m feeling good about it. It’s our teams shot at state, so hopefully we do well there,” said Holz.
