Asotin showed up at the St. John Golf course last Wednesday with a big team and won both sides of the run hosted by the SJE Eagles.

SJE’s Jordan Porubek and Heather Siegel paced Eggleston around the course to finish second and third with times of 21:08 and 21:11.44, and Shania Bailey picked up the number-four slot with a 21:40.16.

Asotin had its four team finishers the top 11 to bag the team honor with a 31-32 edge over the Eagles. Other finishers for St. John were Jade Porubek, 12th at 23:56, Sarah Bailey 13th at 24:50, and Annie Bailey 17th at 25:27.
