By combining forces, the entire Bonney Lake High girls team will be moving on to Saturday’s 3A state cross country meet.

The team finished sixth overall in the qualifying meet at American Lake Golf Course in Lakewood Saturday to claim the final team berth with 166 points.

“The competition at the girls end of things was unbelievable at American Lake,” Bonney Lake coach Andrew Foster said.

Spearheading the BLHS effort was Marie Wilson, who turned in a clutch 10-place individual posting, leaning across the finish line at 19 minutes, 35 seconds.

Not far behind was Sierra Espinal in 19th place with a time of 20:18; Haley Theriault, 34th, 21:01; Madisen Liddle, 43rd, 21:27; and Mekenzie Voellger, 60th, 22:19.

On the boy’s side of the equation, Nolan Weber earned a state trip. He zipped across the stripe at 17:16, good for 29th place. The top 30 individuals qualified for Saturday’s big show on Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course.
