Camas and Washougal runners excel at Adidas Classic

Washougal junior Thomas Normandeau beat Camas sophomore Taryk Boyd for first place out of a field of more than 500 junior varsity runners from 30 different teams at the Adidas Classic Saturday, at Fern Hill Park in Portland.

“I knew this was going to be a tough race because it had so many people from some pretty big schools,” Normandeau said. “Once I got ahead of the pack, I could see that the other guy was like 50 yards ahead of me, so I just decided to hold on to second.
