ERIC PLUMMER/Bonner County Daily Bee Runners from Timberlake and Sandpoint navigate one of the features during a cross country dual meet on Saturday morning at the University of Idaho extension property.
- CROSS COUNTRY
SANDPOINT — Senior Katherine Kaul and junior Ephriam Weisz each won their race, leading the Bulldog boys and girls to a sweep of Timberlake in a nonleague cross country dual on Saturday at the University of Idaho extension property in Sandpoint.
The Bulldog girls showed why they’re legit contenders for a state 4A trophy, claiming eight of the top 10 spots, while the boys claimed seven of the top 10 places in the season opener for both teams.
Jordan Hardy was third for the boys, and Abigail Peightal third for the girls to lead the 3A Tigers, as the course was shortened to 2.75 miles instead of the usual 5K.
Both teams are at the Timberlake Invitational at Farragut State Park on Sept. 9.
