First annual “Panther Run” raises more than $5,000

SNOHOMISH — The first annual Panther 24 Hour Relay took place June 14-15 at Snohomish High School, and organizers said it was a huge success. They raised more than $5,000 to support scholarships in honor of former SHS teachers Dave Lewarne and Tuck Gionet, and the Travis Manion Foundation.
Snohomish J-ROTC’s Captain Will Lennon reports “there were 14 teams competing, 5 adult teams and 9 youth teams. They all had different strategies, a mile at time or a set amount of time, either way all 14-team finished. The overall winners were the SHS XC Old Timers (they were not old). They ran a total of 783 laps or almost 196 miles in 24 hours. The winning youth team was Danny Lovelace’s Victims with 768 laps or 192 miles; they were a group of students from Edmonds Woodway High School. The total for all 14 teams was 8176 laps, which equals 2044 miles.”
