They knew the course. They dominated the course.

Running in their only home cross country meet of the season Thursday, Oct. 2, the Wildcat harriers blitzed everyone foolish enough to step up to the starting line with them.

Capturing wins in all three divisions (boys' varsity, girls' varsity and boys' JV), Oak Harbor dominated the afternoon, with Mountlake Terrace, Everett and Stanwood left to find solace where they could.

'Cat senior Jonalynn Horn strolled home with the win in her race, covering the 4,627-meter course in 17 minutes, 40 seconds. That put her almost a full minute-and-a-half ahead of her nearest rival.

On the boys side, Oak Harbor senior John Rodeheffer wasn't quite as dominant, but just as effective. His time of 15:12 was only four seconds shy of being a full minute faster than the #2 finisher, 'Cat senior Sebastian Ceasar (16:08).

Tyler Grehan had the closest win of the day, winning the boys' JV race by a slim three seconds.

The Oak Harbor freshman (17:50) edged out Everett junior Sean Underhill (17:53) to capture the title.
