The team plays Ferris at One Spokane Stadium this Friday.
Over the weekend, the girls cross country team came out of the gate with blazing speeds - capturing a 2nd place team finish at Farragut State Park. Erin McMahon and Claire Gee led the way for the lady Bullpups with mile-averages of 6:25. The JV girls team placed first overall.
At Farragut, the boys team placed 3rd, with Zach Frazier finishing 2nd and Miro Parr-Coffin taking 3rd. Both cross country teams will compete at Shadle Park’s Highlander Invitational this Saturday.
Earlier this month, Savannah Holbert finished second out of 49 entries in the barrels at the Ritzville Rodeo. She competes next in Longview, WA, this weekend.
Hockey player Mickayla O’Hara was also recognized for her outstanding performances on the ice recently with an honorable mention at the AAA Dawg Daze of Summer Tournament in Connecticut.
Congratulations to these athletes and teams. Good luck to them and our slowpitch, volleyball, and girls soccer teams who get their seasons started this week.
