' “Alauna is emerging as one of the top runners in Washington,” Shelton coach John Johnson wrote in an email to the Journal. “Third place at state is the highest finish ever for a Shelton girl. She has always raced well at the big competitions and state was no exception. She started intelligently and found a way to close two pretty big gaps and lean for third place at the line. It was a big day for Alauna and we are all very happy for her.” Senior Ali Clifton earned 27th place with a time of 20:18 and 'sophomore Lily Bennett finished 83rd with a time of 21:58. i Faith Linthicum placed 100th with a time of 22:15 and Koralea Roessler rounded out Shelton’s finishers with a time of 22:37 to take 115th place. “A top 10 team finish for our girls is an absolutely wonderful result,” Johnson said. “Each and every one of our five girls had to be focused and race with a great deal of courage and that’s exactly what they , did.” , Sehome won the girls team state title.
