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. | March 28, 2024 1:00 AM
LEWISTON — Sophomore sprinter Makenna Baisden took first place in the 200m and 400m at the Lewiston Track and Field Invite, earning two new personal records on March 22 for Bonners Ferry.
Baisden improved her 200m time to 27.22 — a 0.82 second improvement from her previous PR, which was earned at the Timberlake Invite last season. She also improved her 400m time to 1:01.67 crushing her previous PR from the Bonners Ferry Invite by 1.14 seconds.
In the two-mile race, junior Sydney Beckle also took first with a time of 13:09.34, beating out the second-place runner by nearly a minute.
Taking second place for the Badgers was junior Asher Williams in the high jump. He also earned a PR of 6-foot-2 inches jumping three more inches than he had at the season opener. He finished in second behind Trenton Mclean of Post Fall, who also jumped a distance of 6-foot-2 inches due to taking more attempts to clear the height.
Asha Abubakari, 3A defending shot put and discus state champion, took second place in the shot put at 41 feet 3 inches and the discus at 128 feet.
The girls sprint medley [100-100-200-400] finished in second place at 1:55.31 behind Moscow at 1:53.10. Ireland Grady, Eva Willis, Asha Abubakari and Makenna Baisden ran legs for the Badgers.
