Stanwood’s Fields takes second

From 30th place to second place in a year, it’s been quite a climb up the ranks for Stanwood’s Minna Fields.

Fields, a junior at Stanwood High School, was the runner-up in the Class 4A girls race Saturday during the state cross country championships at Sun Willows Golf Course. After biding her time in the first mile and waiting to make her move, Fields completed the 3.1-mile (5,000-meter) course in 18 minutes, 17 seconds. Garfield senior Anna Dailey won it in 17:58.

Playoff football: Stanwood buried by Bothell, 61-0

From the Seattle Times:

Thirteen plays later, it was all but over.

The absolute one-sidedness of Bothell's 61-0 victory Friday night against Stanwood — the difference between a team that fought like heck to make the Class 4A playoffs and the undefeated team expected to win the whole thing — could be broken down in many ways. Perhaps the total yardage (a whole lot to not so much), the disparity in first downs (ditto) or the final score itself might suffice.

More here.

... and here.

Consider Friday's game to be a playoff, as the loser goes home and the winner will play for a state berth next week. Arlington (4-4 overall, 3-2 Wesco) and Stanwood (3-5, 3-2) are in a three-way tie for second with Lake Stevens and just the top three teams making the district crossover bracket.

Cross Country: Fields leads No. 6 Stanwood to Wesco North title

From the Herald:

After enduring injuries all season, the Stanwood Spartans are getting healthy at the right time.

Junior Minna Fields set a meet record by winning the Wesco North championship race in 18:41, 12 seconds faster than the old record run by Monroe’s Lyndy Davis in 2007.

Fields was one of three top-eight individuals for Stanwood, which won its second straight North title. Natasha Verma was fifth and Jordin Stephenson eighth for the Spartans, ranked No. 6 in the 4A state coaches’ poll. Several Stanwood girls battled hip injuries this fall but are feeling better, Fields said.

Fields improved drastically over her eighth-place showing at the 2008 North championships. She sliced 70 seconds off of her time from last year.
