Two individuals earned state medals (Chelsea Cazier 8^th and Alyssa Mattison 19^th). The boys finished 11^th at the state meet with their first complete team ever. One individual earned a state medal (Tyler Zwiers 5^th)

2005 18 runners completed the season. The girl’s team was dealt a VERY difficult blow by finishing 3rd at the district meet, one point out of second and from qualifying for the state meet. The boys team easily won the district meet with a near perfect score of 19 points. They went on to finish 2^nd at the state meet, bringing home the first Cross Country state trophy to Timberlake. Three boys were individual medallists (Frank Lagrimanta 1^st, Tyler Zwiers 8^th and Chris Dallenbach 19^th).

2006 22 runners completed the season. This was also the year we began the Junior High program. We had 10 complete the season in its inaugural year! The girls team got back on track by qualifying for state with a 2^nd place finish at the district meet making it the 3^rd time in the fourth year of the program. They went on to finish 7^th at the state meet. The boys team earned their spot to state for the third year in a row winning the district title for the second consecutive year. At the state meet Frank Lagrimanta went on to win his second consecutive individual state title by crushing the field by 49 seconds.

2007 We began an Elementary Cross Country program at Twin Lakes Elementary with over 60 runners competing from Kindergarten through the 6^th grade! The girls team qualified again for the state meet by finishing second at the district meet. Lead by Alex Turbin’s 15^th place finish, they would go on to finish 10^th at the state meet. The boys team won their third consecutive district title. They would go on to the state meet to finish 6^th, lead by Brian Tucker’s 9^th place finish.
