She completed the 4,400-meter course in 16 minutes, 37.1 seconds, holding off Oregon’s Annamarie Maag (16:38.23) in a sprint finish. Maag is an Oregon state champion. BorderClash features the top 40 boys and top 40 girls from each state. Neale is the first freshman to ever win the girls race, according to Glacier Peak assistant cross country coach Frank Dauncey. Neale helped the Washington girls earn a decisive team victory (19-44) over Oregon. Stanwood’s Minna Fields placed seventh in 17:04.6. The Washington boys earned a sweep over Oregon (15-50) in their race. Individual winner Shane Moskowitz of Central Kitsap finished in 14:06.29. The top local boy was Jackson’s Sean Roe (29th).

Riechel signed on Nov. 17. It was “a real honor to be accepted in that school and sign with them. I’m pretty proud,” said Riechel, who is interested in studying medicine or law. In addition to taking an official recruiting visit to Stanford, Riechel also visited the University of Michigan and Ohio State University. At the 2009 state championships, Riechel won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 breaststroke, setting a meet record (54.49 seconds) in the breaststroke. Coming off of elbow surgery this past summer, Riechel said he is healthy and wants to break the national high school record in the 100 breaststroke.
