Lindbergh won the boys, girls and JV Seamount cross-country titles Saturday at Evergreen High School.

“It’s the Seamount League meet, so we want to run well,” said Lindbergh coach Jef Rettmann. “We’re trying to hit the peak for districts and state, so we’re still training pretty hard through this week and next.”

The Lindbergh boys, who are ranked first among 2A cross-country teams in the state, placed five runners in the top eight of the race, including the top three.

Luke Garcia edged Mohamud Abdi for the win. Garcia finished in 16 minutes, 49.32 seconds and passed Abdi just feet before the finish line. Abdi finished in 16:49.78. Mark Garcia took third in 17:02.38.

“That was according to plan,” Abdi said. “We were really trying to get one, two, three in the race.”

Lindbergh’s Travis Downen (fifth), Ben Platt (eighth) and Nathan Haley (10th) also finished in the top 10.

Renton’s Aslan DaVault took fourth, at 17:17.24. Hazen’s Conner Hall finished in seventh, while his teammate Lloyd Bryan took ninth. Runners in the top ten earned all-Seamount League first team honors.

On the girls side, defending 2A state champion Sarah Reiter won the Seamount title. Reiter finished in 19:47.62.

The Lindbergh girls also took the top three spots. Anna Patti finished in second, Jasmine Fallgreen in third.

Thuong Nguyen (sixth) and Elizabeth Hansen (eighth) finished in the top ten for Lindbergh.

“We’re just all trying to improve all the time,” Reiter said. “Get faster for each and every race.”

Renton’s Joy Barnes took fifth overall with a time of 21:43.13.

Hazen’s Keturah Slaugh took seventh to lead the Highlanders.

Top five in the JV race: Endalkachew Abebaw (Lindbergh), Westerling Nugent (Lindbergh), Sam Bayna (Lindbergh), Ismael Purganan (Lindbergh), and Emmanuel Martinez (Renton).

Next up for the runners is the SPSL/Seamount sub-district meet Oct. 22. The race is at Ft. Steilacoom State Park in Lakewood.Complete results
