Timpview's Aidan Troutner (UT) ran the 20th all-time fastest boys 5K at the NXN National Championships en route to victory in 2017.

Alexa Efraimson will be just one to watch.   There will be a wealth of talent on display tomorrow at the Westside Classic at American lake near Tacoma. 

Elijah Armstrong of Pocatello In the northwest Oregon & Washington runners made their final adjustments prior to their State qualifiers & Idaho runners ran their qualifiers.  The big news was on the national level, where Sara Baxter put in a performace, that was perhaps second only to that of Melody Fairchild.   Baxter ran three miles (not a 5K) at Mt. SAC in 16:00. 

Anna Maxwell Anna Maxwell and Joe Hardy appear to be the favorites but expect plenty of argument from runners like Paige Rice, Jordan McPhee, Elijah Armstrong  & Kyle Thompson to name just a few.

Amy-Eloise Neale was the top story in the Northwest but there was much happening around the nation of note as well.

Wilmot by Craig Rice Kai Wilmot, Amy-Eloise Neale, Jose Macias & Elijah all broke records and Katie Knight showed she is back as well during a week full of action that included another run-away by Kenai's Allie Ostrander.
