A message from Coach Grady on the Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational:
On Friday, October 10th, the Sultan Middle School Cross Country team hit the road to Lakewood High School to compete in the legendary Nike Hole in the Wall Invitational—one of the biggest and most exciting meets of the season!
Lakewood's course is always fast and fun, and once again, our Skyhawks showed up ready to FLY! 💨
👟 Girls' Race Highlights:
The sun came out just in time for our Lady Skyhawks to shine! With over 120 runners in the race, it was a packed start—but our girls stayed strong and fearless from the very first stride.
🔥 Sahalee Williams and Evelyn Weber led the charge, and we had three of our lady athletes make the podium! 🏅
Here’s how they crushed it:
🥈 Evelyn Weber (6th grade) placed 2nd with a blazing time of 12:10!
🏅 Karmaj Mireles (6th grade) took 10th with a time of 14:25 – her BEST race yet!
🏅 Sahalee Williams (8th grade) grabbed 5th in her grade and also took 9th overall out of all girls, earning a spot on the big stage and a Nike backpack! 🎒👏
Shoutout to Lyla Nicewanner for having her best race of the season—taking a massive 4 minutes off her previous time! That's what hard work looks like!
🏃‍♂️ Boys' Race Highlights:
Our 8th grade boys brought the heat too!
🏅 Jensen Neilson raced his way to a 14th place finish with a strong time of 11:01, earning a ribbon!
💥 Caleb Martinell and Jayden Dillahunt had an epic finish, pushing each other all the way to the end!
🚀 John Hanna showed just how much he's improved, running his fastest time of the season thanks to all the effort he’s put in at practice!
Way to go, Skyhawks! 💙 Your energy, teamwork, and grit were on full display, and we couldn't be more proud. Up next the team travels to Granite Falls this Wednesday. 🦅💪

🏃‍♀️ Sultan Middle School Cross Country Kicks Off the Season! 🏃‍♂️

A message from our Cross-Country Coach:

This past Saturday, the Sultan Middle School Cross Country team competed in their very first meet of the season! The team joined the high school squad for a trip to South Whidbey High School, where they faced tough competition and showed incredible heart.
The girls raced first, with Evelyn Weber, Sahalee Williams, Lyla Nicewanner, and Karmaj Mireles proudly representing SMS. All four runners had strong performances and impressive times to start the season off right!
One standout moment came from 6th grader Evelyn Weber, who finished 10th overall with a time of 14:33 in the 3K race—earning a spot on the podium! Even more amazing? Evelyn was the only 6th grader in the entire race to make the top 10!
Sahalee Williams also had a fantastic race, finishing just outside the top 10 in 12th place.
Following the girls' race, the Sultan Middle School boys cross country team took to the course with determination and heart! Representing the Skyhawks were Jensen Neilson, Logan Holaday, Jayden Dillahunt, Caleb Martinell, and John Hanna—and these boys came ready to compete!
One standout performance came from Logan Holaday, who had an incredible race. Compared to his time at this same meet last year, Logan shaved off nearly four minutes—a huge accomplishment!
The entire team has been putting in the work over the past few weeks, and it clearly showed out on the course. Despite the rolling hills and challenging terrain, every one of these athletes pushed hard and finished strong.
💪 What a fantastic way to kick off the season—we're proud of all your effort and growth!
📣 Next up: Come support your Sultan Skyhawks at their next meet this Friday, September 26th at Osprey Park. Let’s bring the energy and cheer them on to another great race!
