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. | April 20, 2024 5:00 PM

PRIEST RIVER — Ivy Smith won the shot put and the discus throw, Sienna Todd-Murray the 400 and the 1600, as the Lady Bulldogs were crowned champions of the 27th annual Priest River Invitational on Saturday.

Also picking up individual victories for Sandpoint were Ayla Hull (200), Devin McDaniel (pole vault), Ani Vick (100 hurdles), Jetta Thaete (javelin), and Elia Howard (long jump). Priest River’s Kylee Swoboda won the high jump and the Spartans’ 800-meter sprint medley relay consisting of Haley Braae, Ashlyn Korff, Swoboda and Chase Smith took home gold. Clark Fork’s Olivia Yetter won the 300 hurdles.

On the boys’ side, Sandpoint took home four individual victories: Jett Longanecker (200), Kasten Grimm (800), Torin Haesle (1600), and Klein Fragoso (pole vault). Brayden Lamanna won the 3200 for Priest River. Clark Fork’s Wyatt Mintken, Dillon Ryan-Downing, Carson Yetter, and Westin Caven won the 1600-meter sprint medley relay in a new school record time of 4:01.01.
