What a battle it was at the 2017 H+P-school challenge! With over 50 H+P athletes hammering, there was a lot of back and forth in points as the runners hammered to cross the line! WLU was out to an early lead after their first 4 athletes crossed the line inside the top 10 for the lowest total of 30 points. However, the depth in masters and female athletes at UW showed to be an unstoppable force and they took both the points (233) and average time (only team to go sub-19) competition! If you need a refresher, here are our full rules and teams. Check out our full results HERE:
