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 4, 2023 1:00 AM

SPIRIT LAKE — Bonners Ferry junior Asha Abubakari won the shot put and discus, freshman Makenna Baisden won the 400m and junior Riley Petesch won the triple jump as the trio helped the Badger track and field teams to take third at the Timberlake Invitational on April 28.

Several other Badgers placed in the top four in their events.

Both Badger teams took third, with the boys finishing with 66.5 points and the girls at 98. Timberlake finished with 173 points, with Sandpoint second with 138 and Bonners Ferry third with 66.5. Timberlake and Sandpoint took the top two spots.

The Badgers will compete at the Meet of Champions today in Post Falls. The Intermountain League district competition will be held May 11-12 at Timberlake High School.

At districts, the top two individuals qualify for state. Throughout the state, the next best two marks in each event will also qualify, allowing 16 participants per event for 3A. For relays, six teams qualify for state and the next two best times qualify as well.

Bonners Ferry head coach Travis Hinthorn is confident that several Badger girl throwers will advance to state again.

He added that he expects the Badgers will qualify for state in the girls 800m, boys 110m hurdles and a few of the relay races.
