The relays are very close and will play a big role in the total score since they are worth double the individual races.” ...

Coeur d’Alene’s girls were third at state last year, the program’s highest finish since 2015, when the Vikings finished a program-best second ... Bishop Kelly, now in 6A in swimming, won three straight 4A boys titles from 2019 to 2021 before winning again in 2023
