SPIRIT LAKE — Senior Asher Williams, junior James Morgen, and junior Devin Sceppe all won two events apiece as the Badgers ousted both the Tigers and the Panthers for the 4A District 1-2 boys title this past Thursday and Friday at Timberlake High.

Sceppe hurdled his way to a couple of golds, finishing first in the 110-meter hurdles (18.05) and first in the 300-meter hurdles (44.92). Morgen continues to excel on the field, winning the shot put with a new personal best toss of 45 feet, 6 inches and the discus with a throw of 132 feet, 1 inch. Williams won the triple jump outright with a personal best leap of 41 feet, 7 inches and tied with teammate Logan Archibald in the pole vault as they both cleared 11 feet even.

Archibald, a junior, added a win in the high jump (5 feet, 10 inches) while sophomore Riley Beggerly grabbed gold in the long jump, springing to a new personal best mark of 20 feet, 11 inches. Junior Spiro Petras sprinted to a win in the 200-meter dash (23.81) and anchored both of the Badgers' winning 4x100 (45.78) and 4x200 relays (1:34.85).

For the girls, senior Helene Rae picked up two gold medals, winning the shot put with a season-best mark of 41 feet, 7 inches, and the discus with a personal best toss of 125 feet, 10 inches, which ranks as No. 1 in the state's 4A classification. Junior Hallie Hartman was second in the shot put with a toss of 41 feet, 2.5 inches; she currently holds the No. 1 mark in the state's 4A classification with her mark of 42 feet even earlier this season.

Also picking up two wins on the day was junior Makenna Baisden, who won the pole vault with a new personal best clear of nine feet even and the 400-meter dash in a time of 1:00.81. Sophomore Eva Willis contributed a win in the long jump (14 feet, 9.75 inches), sophomore Aspen Graham a win in the javelin (79 feet, 3 inches) for Bonners Ferry, which placed second as a team, just nine points behind Timberlake.

The 4A State Championship is set to be held this Friday and Saturday at Middleton High.
