It was a Washington State sweep at the tenth edition of Nike Cross Nationals in Portland, Ore., as Alexa Efraimson and Kai Wilmot prevailed in 16:50.1 and 15:00, respectively.

She was originally ruled ineligible to race regular season HS meets after she ran in an open college race where she beat Emma Bates.
