Brayden Lamanna, Treasure Valley CC Cross Country

A 2025 graduate of Priest River High, Brayden ran to a new personal best 8,000-meter time of 24 minutes, 51 seconds (4:59 per mile) to finish 22nd out of 96 runners at the LC State Invitational, which featured NCAA Division I teams such as Montana, Idaho and Gonzaga, as well as the College of Idaho, 2024 NAIA National Champions, this past Saturday at the Lewiston Orchards. The former Central Idaho League district champion and Spartan standout beat out 21 current Division I runners and was the No. 3 runner amongst non-Division I competitors. His new school record time is currently ranked No. 1 out of all runners in the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC).

"Breaking a school record from the '80s is always something special," Treasure Valley CC head coach Ryan Jaggi, who formerly coached track & field at Grangeville High, said in an article by the college's sports information department. "Brayden has worked his tail off all summer to come in and make an impact for our team and he's done just that. For a freshman to come in and run sub-25 in the 8k is an impressive feat, but to do it week in and out and shatter a school record in the process is truly exciting for what is to come from this young man."

Treasure Valley, which finished eighth out of eight scoring teams at the meet, returns to action Saturday, Oct. 18 for the George Oja Invite hosted by Linfield University.
