Tyler King
Tyler King faced down some of the baddest dudes in the Northwest Saturday and acquitted himself quite nicely.
Running at the prestigious Bill Dellinger Invitational in Eugene, the Coupeville High School grad finished 26th in a field of 115 runners.
His time of 24 minutes, 52 seconds made him the third fastest runner on the University of Washington squad, as they competed at an event named in honor of a Hall of Fame runner.
Fellow Husky Aaron Nelson won the individual title, while highly-ranked hosts University of Oregon took the team title. Boise State claimed second and the U-Dub and Portland tied for third overall.
The Husky women, led by Amy-Eloise Neal, ran away with the team title. Neal, a ten-time state champ at Glacier Peak High School, made her college debut and busted out a third place finish.
King, a redshirt sophomore, and his teammates now have two weeks off before heading to Wisconsin for the Adidas Invitational Oct. 19.
