Chehalis’ Dakota Parker set a course record at the Gordy Robertson cross country jamboree, Wednesday at Tenino City Park.

Parker clocked in at 9 minutes, 32 seconds to break the course by 6 seconds. He won the junior/senior boys race.

“He looked very strong as he came off the hill,” Chehalis cross country coach Amber Cruzan said. “The downhill was quite rough but we were able to keep are feet underneath us and avoid any injuries.”

The meet also was highlighted by Tumwater’s Kendra Wilson, who won the junior/senior girls race in 12:02.71. Tenino’s Chloe Hanson, a freshman, made a solid cross country debut by winning the freshmen/sophomore girls race in 13:36.07.
