More than 60 students, faculty, and Northwest community members showed up to represent and participate in this new NWS tradition!
We had such a great turnout for a relatively new and fun Northwest tradition: the St. Patrick's Day 5K Run/Walk!
This festive local event is open to all ages and is organized by the St. Patrick's Day Dash group. And the Northwest contingent showed up in full force to represent, participate, and enjoy a brisk Sunday morning of community and camaraderie.
Our team also picked up a couple of accolades along the way:
- Head Coach of Cross Country and Track & Field, Javier Rodriguez, placed 1st in the Masters division for men
- Director of Advancement, Alison Raitt, placed 2nd in the Master's female group
- Kaleb H., who competes on the NWS Track & Field team, placed 2nd in his age group (15-19 years) and 10th among male runners (out of 1,334), with a new personal record time of 17:49.

We're so grateful to Northwest alum Jim Tillman (Class of '82) for all these wonderful photos!
