Slowed down by a nasty cold that had prevented him from training the past two days, Tyler King was not at his best Saturday.
Running at the Bill Dellinger Cross Country Invitational in Springfield, Oregon, the University of Washington red-shirt freshman finished 72nd out of 101 runners in a time of 25 minutes, 39 seconds.
The former Wolf star had been questionable before the start of the race due to his health issues, and he had little gas with which to chase the race leaders. Senior Trevor Dunbar of Oregon won the race in 23:38.
King’s next race won’t be until Friday, Oct. 12, when he and his Husky teammates will travel to Madison, Wisconsin for the Adidas Invitational. Also expected to show at that meet, the 4th ranked team in the nation — the University of Oklahoma — which features Tyler’s older brother, red-shirt senior Kyle King.
It will be the first time the Kings have faced off at the college level. Time for … MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!
