EA's Scott Anderson finishes 59th overall in the Nike Nationals in Oregon....link to Nike Nationals site.
A brief account of the invitational by East Aurora Coach Walt McLaughlin who was able to attend the event with Rolf and Libby Weberg. Coach McLaughlin writes:

"...Scott placed 59 in the boys championship race.  That was a very good race for him based on those he has run against previously and his solid speed ranking.  The trip was the time of his life. Thanks to Rolf and Libby Weberg, I was also able to go as we stayed with the brother of Rolf Weberg who lives in Portland.  We also took my daughter Marta and Kirsten Weberg.

Marta and Kirsten were able to race in the open race with the Kenyan National Team.  It was a great experience for them as well. Marta placed 8th and Kirsten placed 9th in that race.  The race also had each qualifying team's alternate as well as 10 teams entered.

The weather was great for spectators with high temps around 50 and lots of sun which is uncharacteristic for Portland in December.  The course the most dry it has ever been there so times were very fast as compared to past years.  It was 28 degrees and pretty cold during the girls open race but I don't think anyone noticed.  They were having too much fun.

Check our the videos when you get a chance.  It's tough to see Scott Anderson during the race but he is wearing a New York light blue jersey.  Marta and Kirsten are easy to pick out as they are behind the Kenyans and 2 other girls..."

Jamie and Jenna Wallace of Alden compete in the JO XC Championships held 13-December in Mechanicsberg, VA. Marta McLaughlin of East Aurora also qualified at the regional championship in Liverpool, NY but was unable to attend as she was in Portland, OR (see above).

Jamie finishes 23rd overall (out of 118 competitors) in 19:35 over a 5k course in the Intermediate race while Jenna finishes 152nd out of 237 with a time of 17:25 (a new PR for Jenna) over a 4k course in the Youth race.

Congratulations to Joe, Scott, Kirsten, Marta, Jamie and Jenna for representing Section 6 in National competition. Great work kids, you have made all of us proud of your accomplishments!
