"When people ask me
why I run, I tell them, there's not really a reason, it's just the
adrenalin when you start, and the feeling when you cross that finish
line, and know that you are a winner no matter what place you got. "

Please "contact us" if you have any
track and field or
cross-country questions!
Thank -you Issaquah School District!
Many of our activities are made possible because of cooperative use of
