Noah Roark, Elizabeth Storms, and Devin McDaniel also won individual events for Sandpoint.

Roark started off the day with a new personal best in the 100 (13.61), good enough to win the event. The junior also placed second in the high jump (4-10). Storms, in her varsity debut, won the 800 in 2:37.28 and placed second in the 400 (1:05.74). Rounding out the girls’ top performers was Devin McDaniel, who won the pole vault with a mark of 11-0, three feet ahead of second place. Smith, whose shot put mark is currently first in the state across all divisions, also placed second in the discus with a throw of 115-0.

Sandpoint’s sprint medley relay consisting of Saige Smith, Madison Peck, Vivian Haag, and Ayla Hull also took home gold with a time of 2:04.08.

The Bulldogs finished first with 198 points, beating out Timberlake and Bonners Ferry, who finished second and third, respectively.

In the 1600, Roche took home gold with a time of 4:43.11. Kent dropped 58 seconds off his 3200 time, winning the event in an impressive 9:58.15. Fragoso started where he left off last season, winning the pole vault with a mark of 13-0, two-and-half feet ahead of second place.

The Bulldogs also picked up three relay wins. In the 4x100 relay, Kamren Ziarnick, Will Mooney, Jess Herman, and Ryder Haynes finished first with a time of 46.38. In the 4x400 relay, Haynes, Longanecker, Daniel Ricks, and Van Lee edged out Timberlake, winning in 3:41.95.
