A runner sends up a giant splash as she races across the opening flat.
It was wet Saturday afternoon in Langley, very wet. The ground was a sodden mess and just got messier as hundreds of feet pounded it into submission. Somehow I had tricked myself into wearing cotton pants and not nearly enough layers that morning. My excuse was it was sunny at my house when I left. I paid for it later as the cotton wicked the water from my shoes up towards my knees. It was not fun. I don't know how the runners felt about the conditions, but seeing as there were no course records broken, I can only imagine that the wet and sloppy course made for slow running.

Even Herald writer Mike Cane picked up an umbrella to watch the last part of the boys 4A race.
And one last photo; this one doesn't have a lot to do with rain, but this guy has such a good face I had to include it.

Cascade's Dylan Hopper grimaces as he tries to out gain Jackson's Blake Nelson for the 4A boys win. Hopper would finish second.
