Baker’s boys and girls runners both earned perfect scores of 15 points Thursday to win the team championships at the Baker Invitational cross country meet at Quail Ridge Golf Course.

The Bulldogs had the only complete girls team, and Baker and Burns fielded the only complete boys teams.

Baker coach Tish Bloomer said several other schools chose not to attend the Baker meet and travel to Mission Friday for a larger meet.

Bloomer said that like most other schools the Bulldogs have been battling illness.

“Hopefully this next week we can get our lungs cleared up and can run better,” she said.

The Bulldogs travel to Ontario Oct. 31 for the Greater Oregon League district meet.

Thursday, Baker runners finished first through fifth in the boys race. Trevor Freese ran away with the boys race, winning in a time of 18:23.

Erik Robertson was second, Joe Anderson third, Jacob Payton fourth and Jacob Baxter fifth.

The Bulldogs’ Melissa Clarke won the girls title with a 22:59 clocking.

Felicia Schneider was third, Haley Adams fifth, annika Yates sixth and Charlotte Bowers seventh.
