State cross country race by race w/ results Press Realease, Tri-Cities Her Nov 04, 2006

Boys class 4A This is getting to be an annual occurrence in the Ferris-Mead rivalry -- the Panthers win the regional title and the Saxons get their revenge at state. The scenario played out for the third straight season as Ferris avenged a one-point loss last week in Yakima, blowing away Mead to win the school\'s sixth state title and reassert the Saxons\' claim as the No. 1 team in the nation -- an honor they held until Mead wrested it away. \"We definitely wanted to come back this week and prove we\'re No. 1,\" said race winner Cameron Quackenbush. \"That was our main focus.\" Quackenbush also felt he had something to prove after finishing sixth at regionals.
