2009-10 Season Preview  
 

The 2009 Sasquatch harriers start the season with a huge target on their backs as they look to win an unprecedented ninth NWAACC title in a row and eleven in the past thirteen years.  Spokane returns only  two men from last year’s championship team, 2008 champion Rigoberto Jimenez and runner up Humberto Jimenez, but gain 2009 NWAACC steeple champ (9:08, 3:54) Sean Coyle.  Others sophomores to watch are WSU transfer Cody VanDeBrake (1:57, 4:28, 15:55 5k), Andrew Cesal (9:54 steeple), Bryce Aguilar (10:00 steeple), Tyler Shirley (1:54, 4:00), and Justin Stipe. A couple of strong freshmen who should have an immediate impact are Anthony Brown from University HS (4:20,9:37) and Daniel Issa from Cheney HS (16:20 5k). The whole group has come into the season in great shape and will all contend for the top seven spots on this year’s varsity squad.  The road to a record ninth straight NWAACC title will be difficult but the Sasquatch Harriers are ready for the challenge.
