WILSONVILLE — Mountain View’s girls placed second Friday afternoon at the Sandelie Golf Course XC Classic, posting a top-three finish at a cross-country meet that included 37 teams from Oregon and Washington.

The Cougars finished fifth in the boys division of the race, staged on a 5,000-meter route on and around the golf course’s ninth hole. St. Mary’s Academy of Portland won the girls race with 57 points, besting runner-up Mountain View which posted 156 points. Skyview High of Vancouver, Washington, was the top boys team with 68 points. The Cougar boys recorded 215 points, for fifth, the best mark of any Class 5A boys program.

“Great meet,” Mountain View coach Andy Young said. “I’d guess 80 percent of our runners set lifetime (personal records).”

Ciara Jones paced the Cougar girls with a time of 19 minutes, 0.3 seconds, which was good enough for 14th place. Dakota Thornton turned in a time of 15:49.1 and a 10th-place effort to lead the Mountain View boys.

The Cougars wrap up their regular season on Wednesday when they host the Central Oregon Relays at Bend’s Pine Nursery Park.
