Coach Sloan predicted rain as he drove to BCS this morning, but your photographer chose a white hat (expecting sun).  We were fortunate to avoid the drenching rain of the 2007 race. 

BCS again won both of the varsity races.  The course came up 200m short of a 5K distance, making it about 30 yards short of a 3 mile course.   Varsity Race Results:   Girls   Boys

For the record: "(T)he park was greatly effected by the extension of Aurora Avenue, which divided Upper Woodland Park from Lower Woodland Park upon its completion in 1932."  from HistoricSeattle.org. So all Cross Country races run east of Aurora Avenue are officially in Lower Woodland Park, no matter how high on the hill the course is set.

In the early 1970's one Metro League Northern Division course actually started on the track and headed straight up to the Zoo, crossing the south bridge over Aurora Avenue into the Zoo and exiting across the north bridge.  The old Metro League championship course started where our SAASy Strut race began and ended at the top of the final steep uphill that the Emerald City League runners faced today.
