District 6: Skyline adds to its title collection, Sugar-Salem’s Dickson earns 4A title, North Fremont claims 2 team trophies

POCATELLO – Make that three straight straight state titles for the Skyline boys cross country team.

The Grizzlies placed five runners in the top 21 in Saturday’s 5A race at the Portneuf Wellness Complex, holding off runner-up Sandpoint by 12 points.

Senior Davis Roberts ran a season-best 15:34.4 to finish second, and William McCombs placed fifth.

Rounding out the Grizzlies finishers were Lincoln Johnson (15th), Dexter Olauson (22nd), and Alex Mercier (26th).

Blackfoot, led by Owen Gregory’s fourth-place finish, earned the fourth-place trophy in the team standings.

Jackson Bushman was the top Idaho Falls finisher, placing eighth. Mack Bush of Shelley earned a ninth-place medal.

Timberlake held off defending state champion Sugar-Salem in the 4A race, but the Diggers’ Darrel Dixon claimed the individual title in a time of 15:07.5.

The time was a 4A state record for the Portneuf Wellness Complex course.

“The work was put in in the summer, it was put in the rest of the year, and now it was time to just mentally and physically make it work,” Dickson said.

Dickson finished second to McCall-Donnelly’s Charlie Speirs last year as a sophomore. Saturday he held off Speirs by seven seconds.

“It was very stressful being runner-up,” Dickson said. “But mentally I got there at the end.”

3A medalists included Cody Baxter of Ririe, who finished sixth in 16:52.3, and Grant Palmer of North Fremont, who was ninth.

Leadore’s Jace Jones finished 10th in the 2A/1A race, with teammate Cristian Brown medaling in 17th place, and Talan Johnson of Taylor’s Crossing in 18th, followed by Christian Barrett of Challis.

On the girls side, junior Eliza Peck of Idaho Falls finished fourth in the 5A race, with Skyline’s Melody Chandler placing 10th.

Blackfoot junior Sailor Tomazin finished 12th.

Stefanie Callahan was the top Shelley placer, finishing 18th.

Sugar-Salem’s Evelyn Green finished 15th and Janyja Jackson placed 17th to help lead the Diggers to a third-place team trophy in 4A.

Stella Pistoresi of Teton finished 11th.

The North Fremont duo of junior Eliza Bingham, and sophomore Andrea Anderson, finished third and fifth, respectively, helping lead the Huskies to a third-place team finish in 3A.

North Fremont finished the meet with trophies for both its boys and girls teams.

Bella Spencer of West Jefferson placed sixth in the 3A race, and Madeline Howell was Ririe’s top finisher, placing seventh.

Firth earned a fourth-place trophy in 3A, with Allie Nelson (14), Kacee Cook (15), and Kinzlie Yates (19) each medaling.
