Craig keeps cruising — Mountain View’s Savanna Craig placed eighth in last year’s 4A state meet. Now that Mountain View is a 3A school, the senior will be favored to win the district title and could make a run at a state crown. She is coming off a strong track season that saw her place third in state in the 1,600 meters.
Healthy returns — Skyview senior Chanse Gilbert and Camas sophomore Daniel Maton each missed parts of last season with injuries. Gilbert, who placed seventh in the state as a sophomore, rebounded to win last year’s bi-district title. Maton won district and bi-district titles in the 1,600 meters last track season. Both could make noise with strong bounce-back cross country seasons.
Gaining steam at Fort — A program that made huge strides last year was the Fort Vancouver girls team. As a freshman, Emily Phelps won the school’s first individual district title since 1995. Classmate Anna Harrison placed second as Fort qualified for the 3A bi-district meet for the first time. The duo were the first Fort runners to qualify for the state meet in two decades.
