Tyler King went running with a few friends Saturday morning.
Competing in the 8K at the prestigious Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, the Coupeville High School grad finished 180th in a field of nearly 300 runners.
The University of Washington redshirt sophomore was just ten seconds off the pace of eventual winner Kemoy Campbell of Arkansas at the mile mark as they ran at the Thomas Zimmer Cross Country course.
King eventually crossed the line in 24 minutes, 51 seconds, while Kemoy held off several challengers at the end to win in 23:12.
Northern Arizona, ranked third in the country, won the team title. 35 teams competed, including 19 ranked squads. The unranked Huskies did better than expected, finishing 15th.
King and his teammates return to competition Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Pac-12 Championships in Colorado.
