SJE relay team accepts Mt. Spokane challenge

A relay team of St. John girls competed under triple-digit heat in the relay race up Mt. Spokane Saturday. The relay race started at the Clock Tower at Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane and took teams out the Centennial Trail, through Green Bluff and eventually up the mountain. Total distance was approximately 34 miles.

Eagle Coach Andrea Miller said the team was made up of girls who plan to compete in the SJE cross country team next fall. The team has gathered for informal Sunday runs, and the decision to enter the race up the mountain sort of evolved from those sessions.
