“(I am) really proud of both of these kids,” said Inglemoor coach Kelly Richards. “They have had great seasons and represented Inglemoor well against some of the best runners that the Northwest has to offer.”

Laccinole placed sixth overall, third for the Washington team, in a time of 15-minutes, 44-seconds over 5,000 meters. He got out with the leaders and ran strong the entire race. His finish earned him a spot on the podium and a trophy.
