Making it to State Monday, 2010 ~ 2016
10-28 - District - After losing their top 4 from 2016, the road back to State for the girls required a team effort and the Patriots delivered. With Sophia (7th) and Siri (10th) together for most of the race, the 2 Seniors led the team to a 4th overall and the 8th consecutive trip to Pasco. The Boys nipped Cedarcrest to take 3rd overall with Luke (10th), Rory (12th) and soph Alex Chin (19th) leading the return to State for the fifth straight year.
10-21 - Kingco - Luke had the top run for Liberty, finishing 6th before the rains started. Alex Chin took 14th to make 2nd team Kingco and run a personal 5K best. Mehul Krishna also PR'd for the day. Siri led the girls in 12th with Bailee Hawkins & Brigitte Larkin getting PR's. In the JV races (Boys results are still not correct), Heidi Bennick, Laura Kouzmanova, Travis, Matt, Adam, Kaz & Phillip also PR'd.
10-11 - Bellevue/Kelsey Creek - A pretty fall day with no rain greeted Liberty at the farm. Luke had a PR leading the boys with Siri finishing a strong run for the girls. Most of the boys & girls had pr's. Photo review shows times to be correct for spacing between finishers.
10-7 Hole-in-the-Wall - Sophia was within a 1/2 sec. of her best 5K to lead the girls on a cloudy, not really rainy day. Siri was right behind as most of the Girls team set personal or season's best times. Luke, Rory & Alex again led the Boys with the rest of the team also getting season or personal bests.
10-2 - Redmond @ Liberty - The Girls won 28 ~ 29 with Siri, Sophia & Bailee going 1,2,4 on Senior Day. The Boys lost 18 ~ 41 with Rory, Alex Chin & Alex Hartford @ 5,6,7. Thanks to all the Parents who helped on a beautiful fall day!
9-30 - Portland - Sunny and warm early with rain late greeted LHS @ Portland Meadows. Luke & Siri again led the pack with both getting PR races. Amost all the boys had PR's with 6 of the girls as well.
9-20 - Mercer Island - Luke led from the gun and took 1st again with Rory 2nd and Alex 4th, as the boys defeated MI & LW @ Luther Burbank under cloudy skies. Siri led the girls with a 4th pl. run with Sophia in 5th.
9-16 - Ft. Steilacoom - On a hazy day with cool temps and no rain, a number of Patriots had PR's on an adjusted course that was about 15 ~ 20 sec longer than 2016. Leading the girls again was Siri who was 4th overall in Silver and 24th overall for the day. Luke led the boys in the Gold race.
9-12 - Juanita & Samm @ Liberty - Thanks to our volunteers for making this a fun meet. Great weather for our 1st 5K. Great runs for Luke winning the Boys race and Siri winning the Girls. Liberty boys raced 1st and had 8 of the 1st 12 runners across the line. The course measured out @ 2.99miles but ran like a slow 5K.
9-9- Tahoma Relays -
2017 Water Park - Almost the entire team made the run to the Park on a sunny afternoon.
