Six Sandpoint Trailblazers medal at season finale in Lolo

I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | October 11, 2023 1:00 AM
LOLO, Mont. — Out of the 22 riders the Sandpoint Trailblazers brought to their season finale race, the Lolo Landing, last Saturday held at the Lolo National Forest, six ended up bringing home medals back to Sandpoint.
“It was a brisk chilly night, but the morning of the race was a beautiful sunrise and an excellent clear day of blue sky racing,” head coach Mike Martz said.
The following Trailblazers reached the podium on Saturday: Trent Roberts, second place, JV2 boys; Noah Schroder, first place, JV3 boys; Zoe Honsinger, third place, 8th-grade girls; Cody Warwick, fifth place, 8th-grade boys; Iona Tuohy, third place, 7th-grade girls; and Olivia Coffman, fifth place, 7th-grade girls.
Roberts and Schroder also came home with another award Saturday. The two received a high school race series podium award due to being among the top 5 highest-placing athletes in the Montana Cycling League this season.
“It was an awesome season,” Martz said. “One of the best things was to see all the kids put in hard work and improve both their skills and their fitness. Having kids up on the podium at every race was just icing on the cake.”
