Lindsey Corbin was the 2nd overall woman in the Boise Ironman 70.3 Half Ironman. Jesse Thomas had one of the fastest running legs of any competition on his way to an 8th place men’s finish. Thomas won the Male 30-34 category. The seven finishers above him were in the Male Pro division and the next six finishers below him were also in the Male Pro division. Great job by a pair of former Mountain View Cougars.
Former Mountain View standout athletes Jesse Thomas and Linsey Corbin will be competing in this Saturday’s Ironman 70.3 Boise half ironman race. The race features a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.

Usually the state championship is as far as you can go in high school sports. But that’s not the case for elite prep cross country teams like Class 5A state girls champion Summit of Bend.
The Storm will be racing at the NXN Northwest Regional Championships in Boise Idaho this Saturday against the best teams from Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Hawaii. Looking for a spot in the Nike National championships in Portland.
“The girls will be running in the championship division and hope to qualify for the NXN Nationals in Portland in December. They are legitimately one of the best teams in the Northwest, and if they run well, we have an excellent chance of making it,” said Summit coach Dave Clark.
Going to NXN for the Summit girls are: Megan Fristoe, Kellie Schueler, Eirann Cohen, Brit Oliphant, Kira Kelly, Sara Fristoe, Mackenzie Naffziger and Tess Nelson.
“The guys are running in the open division and are going for the experience and to support our girls. We have a solid core of very talented underclassman, and this squad has a promising future”
The Summit boys include: Travis Neuman, Pat Madden, Camercon Clark, Mike Widmer, Sammy Naffziger, Ryan St.Clair and Alex Needham.
“The underclassman girls ran as a team in junior Olympics and won state, the Northwest and got 6th in the Nation a few years back. They were all from Cascade middle school, with the exception of Jessica Wolfe (standout at Mountain View),” added Clark.
The young team was coached by Clark.
Also looking to qualify to Nationals from Oregon will be the Jesuit girls (ranked No. 1 in the Northwest), Crater boys (4th) and Central Catholic boys (5th).
