I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | May 6, 2022 1:00 AM
SPOKANE — Asha Abubakari was the lone Badger at the Moobery Relays at Rogers High School April 23.
In competition against athletes of all classifications in Washington school, Abubakari had the longest shot put throw at 36–9.
In discus she ended the day in fifth. In the triple jump her best jump over all was 31–0, but due the rules she was put in sixth place at 30–8.
Abubakari did not stand on the podium since the Mooberry Relays rule states a school must have two athletes competing in the same event in order to be on the podium. The rest of Badger track was at Priest River for a meet.
