CHEWELAH - The Davenport boys and girls cross country teams each qualified for the WIAA state championship with their respective performances at 1B/2B Regionals on Friday, Oct. 27.
The Gorillas also had an individual regional champion, with Josie Wynecoop winning the girls race with a time of 20:16.15. Sisters Charlotte and Glenna Soliday finished fourth and 13th respectively and would have qualified for state individually if the team had not advanced.
As a team, the Davenport girls finished second with 74 points, two ahead of third-place St. George's and behind champion Garfield-Palouse (48 points).
The Davenport boys finished fourth with 130 points, behind other state qualifiers Valley Christian (56 points), Garfield-Palouse (100 points) and Chewelah (127 points).
Jaeger Jacobsen's seventh-place finish, Thomas Furman's 18th place finish and Kyler Davenport's 28th-place finish would have qualified the three individually if the team hadn't qualified.
Neither of Reardan's teams qualified for state, but Gabe Branstetter's second-place finish in the boys race qualified him for Pasco as an individual. Maveric Sobotta finished 29th, one place off the cut, and is the region's first alternate runner.
Here are all the local results from the regional meet. Those who qualified will run at state at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco Saturday, Nov. 4.
