ELLENSBURG — Ellensburg runners Kevin Aubol and Matt Nodine jumped out to a quick lead and pushed each other to a 1-2 finish Saturday, leading the Bulldog boys’ cross country team to second place in the Ellensburg Invitational held at Rinehart Park.
Aubol took the individual title by covering the 2.3-mile course in a time of 12 minutes, 9 seconds. Nodine was second at 12:12 as both runners came within 10 seconds of the course record, set in 2006 by Isak Bergman.
But Selah, ranked 10th in the state, would leave town with the team title, outscoring Ellensburg 59-63.
