CANBY – La Pine joined Hillsboro, La Salle, and Putnam along with host Canby for a cross country race on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at Molalla River State Park.

For the boys, the Hawks placed third in the team standings behind La Salle Prep and host/champion Canby. Senior Wyatt Montgomery placed second in the individual results as the La Pine runner trailed only Canby’s Maddox Oliver.

The La Pine girls failed to qualify for a team score, but three Hawk runners finished in the top 10. Senior Ashley Jentzsch placed fifth to lead the Hawks followed by sophomore Libby Smith in ninth and freshman Paisley Obrist in tenth.
