PORTLAND — The members of the Camas High School girls cross country team finished the season Saturday arm-in-arm, mud-splashed and full of smiles.
“This season has just been so amazing,” sophomore Alissa Pudlitzke said. “It’s been long, but it’s been fun to spend so much time together and being able to accomplish what we did this year.”
What the Papermakers accomplished this season was their second consecutive state team title, this time at Class 4A, last month at the state meet in Pasco.
That marked the official end of the high school season. Since then, the Papermakers have continued to compete as the Camas XC Club all the way to the Nike Cross Nationals on Saturday at Portland Meadows race track.
