"They're running well and they're working hard," Johnson said. "They ran all summer and are learning how to race." He said the Shelton Harriers is a grassroots or- ganization that brings runners to its events. For the elementary and middle school level, the run- ners who have participated for multiple years are starting to improve on their times and forms. "Having youth cross country is awesome be- cause they get to high school and they're not ask- ing, 'What's cross country?'" Johnson said. Currently, the junior high and middle school runners are leading the pack as far as strength goes. Johnson said there is a good core of runners at Southside as well. "The kids are getting stoked," he said. "Some races, we had almost 60 kids doing it." With so much interest coming from the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders, Johnson said the Shelton Harriers are working on finding a middle school league the student athletes can compete in. He said he's been impressed with the running ability of the youths and their level of commitment. "These kids are running in the rain and get- ting excited," Johnson said. "Cross country is a hard sport because it requires total concentration for 15-20 minutes, which is becoming increasingly difficult. The intensity of the effort is challenging, too." Though the elementary and middle school cross country season is now over, Johnson said youth runners still have races available to them. The USATF Pacific Northwest Junior 01ympie Cham- pionships are scheduled for Nov. 10 at Upper Low- er Woodland Park in Seattle. The Shelton Harriers are also hosting the Mis- tle Toe Mile on Dee. 1.
