MOUNT VERNON — Kayla Johnston led a pack of Mount Vernon cross country runners on Wednesday to help the girls’ team to a victory in a three-team home Northwest Conference meet.

The boys’ team also claimed a win when the Bulldogs’ sixth runner, Jacob Phipps, placed higher than Lynden Christian’s sixth-place runner to break a tie.

On the girls’ side, Johnston was the only runner under 21 minutes (20 minutes 41 seconds) to claim the overall lead. Two other Bulldogs landed in the top five, with Kathryn Benson finishing fourth (21:59) and Tessa Murray taking fifth (22:16).

Mount Vernon’s 29 team points sent them to the victory over Nooksack Valley (39) and Lynden Christian (55).

Ethan Garrison was the top runner for Mount Vernon on the boys’ side with his second-place finish (17:34). Nate Minlor took third (18:07).

Phipps’ 19:48 edged out Lynden Christian’s Luke Blok’s 19:49, allowing Mount Vernon to take the meet by tiebreaker, which is decided by the highest placing sixth runner between the two tied teams.

BELLINGHAM — Five different Tigers scored goals and Niki Stilwill, with help from the defense, picked up the Northwest Conference shutout.

Bailey Gates, Anna Griffith, Chelsea Carpenter, Kristine Thoe and Mette Rousseau all scored for the Tigers (6-1), who remained perfect at 4-0 in conference play.

“It was a spectacular game, considering it was a little windy and a lot wet,” Tigers coach Jay Powers said. “Everything clicked well. We were moving well off the ball. It was a pleasure to watch. The girls worked really hard, especially having games back to back. It was nice to have the scoring spread around.”

Powers said Griffith and the defense had good games.
