QUINCY — The Cashmere Bulldogs cross country team faced tough competition at the Quincy Invite on Thursday, finishing eighth in the varsity boys team standings and third in the varsity girls division.
In the 5,000-meter varsity boys race, Cashmere's top finisher was sophomore Rylan Reiber, who placed 18th with a time of 18:22.25. The Bulldogs' next scorer was freshman Emmett Brown in 32nd place, clocking 19:42.47.

The Bulldogs faced stiff competition from powerhouse teams like Ellensburg and Cascade (Leavenworth), who dominated the top spots in both the boys' and girls' races.
Despite the challenging field, Cashmere's young roster showed promise, with several underclassmen contributing to the team's performance. The Bulldogs will look to build on this experience as they continue their season.
The Quincy Invite, held at Colockum Ridge Golf Course, featured teams from across central Washington, providing valuable early-season competition for the participating schools.
