The Bainbridge High School Cross Country team placed fourth in the Tahoma Coed Relays at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley Sept. 7.

For this season-opener, teams enter five-person relay groups, of which there were over 200. The top three teams were Sunset High School, a 6A team out of Portland, OR, and two 4A teams from Washington state: Eastlake and Redmond. BHS is a much smaller school at 2A.

The fourth-place team included seniors Marcus Stroman and Mairin O’Brien; junior Ben Crandall; sophomores Evelyn Shutske and Ryan Dodge. Another Spartan team finished 13th.
