Last Saturday, Unalaska High School’s cross-country team put in a good effort against much larger schools at their first race of the season.

The Raiders originally planned to compete in Bethel against other 2A schools. But when that race was cancelled, the team decided to head to Soldotna instead to join 3A and 4A schools at the Skyview High School invitational race.

Cross-country coach David Gibson says it was a tough race for his still-new team. None of the runners placed. But sophomore Ross Enlow set a new school record, finishing the 5K race in 17 minutes and 54 seconds. Enlow broke his own previous school record, which he’d set last year with a time of 18 minutes and 34 seconds.
