Willson stacks

two wins in XC

Colfax senior Morgan Willson clocked a 18.47 to finish three minutes ahead of the field in an NE league run Tuesday at Kettle Falls. Runners followed a 5 K campground course along the Columbia River.

For the boys side of the varsity race, Jackson Elfers placed 12th at 19.23, and Justin Williams placed 42nd at 23.43.

Tim Cornelius placed third in the junior high race at 10.09 over 1.5 miles. Other Colfax finishers were Mitch Varney, 13th at 11:45; Logan Gingerich, 18th at 12.02; Zach Williams 12:37, and Brady Wuesteney, 16:20.

Lauren Claassen placed 9th in the girls race at 16.55.

Willson won the season’s opening cross country race at Northwest Christian last Tuesday. She led Anna Henry of NWC across the line in a race which wasn’t timed.

Elfers placed eighth in the boys’ race, and Cornelius won the junior high race with Gingerich second.

Colville, Kettle Falls and Liberty teams also made the trip to NWC at Colbert.

Davenport Gorillas

send invitation

Colfax football fans have received an invitation to the debut of new facilities at Davenport before the Bulldog-Gorilla game Friday. A new all-weather track has been installed, along with new goal posts and a new sky box. They were part of an expansion project for the elementary school which includes a new wing for middle school students, according to Davenport Supt. Jim Kowalkowski.

Dedication ceremonies will be on the agenda before the game and at halftime, and the Foundation for Davenport Schools plans to host a barbecue next to the football field beginning at 5 p.m. with proceeds used for scholarships.

Seating space at the game is limited due to construction still underway and fans are advised that they may want to bring their own chairs to see the action.
