After winning their pool in the morning and advancing to the championship bracket, the No. 11-ranked Lady Fish- ermen scored victories over Class 5A Milwaukie (25-9, 25-19), 6A Centennial (25- 19, 25-13) and 5A Dallas (25- 22, 27-25). “We had a really great day in Dallas,” said Astoria coach Jessie Todd. “We won our pool in the morning, beat- ing both Centennial and Park- rose, and ended up ranked second going into bracket play.” And after defeating Mil- waukie and Centennial in straight sets, the Fishermen took down the Dragons — coached by former Fisherman Kayce Lilley — in two sets. “In that match, Halle (Helmersen) had three aces, and Kajsa (Jackson) and Kelsey (Fausett) each had six kills,” Todd said. “Kajsa also had three blocks in the match and Kailee (Fisher) had one. Skylar (Sturtz) and Hailey (O’Brien) had a very solid defensive game, Taja (Tuim- ato) and Julia (Norris) moved the ball well offensively. “We played really well all day,” she said. “We are really starting to gel as a team. The girls are moving well together and get better each match.” Winners of four in a row, Astoria plays Thursday at North Marion. Warriors compete at Toledo Warrenton was 0-for-2 Saturday at Toledo, where the host Boomers defeated the Warriors in three games (25-20, 25-17, 26-24), which was followed by Creswell’s sweep over Warrenton (25- 20, 25-12, 25-18).

Astoria teams sweep the Elk Run Knappa’s Piña-Morton wins boys’ race By GARY HENLEY The Astorian J EWELL — Astoria swept the team titles, and Knappa’s Robert Piña-Morton won another individ- ual title Saturday, in the annual Logger Elk Run cross-country meet. Held at the Teevin Ranch near Jew- ell, the Astoria teams swept everything, winning the varsity as well as the middle school team titles. In the varsity race, the Astoria girls had three runners in the top six places, highlighted by a fi rst-place fi nish from junior Sophie Long, who fi nished the 5,000-meter race in 21 minutes, 40.02 seconds to better her course record (set last year), and well ahead of Clatskanie’s Gina Limon (22:30.24). Astoria freshman Ella Zilli took fourth (23:16.18) and sophomore teammate Lindsay Riutta was sixth (23:53.91). Astoria’s fourth and fi fth runners fi n- ished back-to-back, with junior Emma Roe 15th (27:34.98), followed by senior McKenna Long in 16th (27:54.87). Warrenton fi nished fourth out of four scoring teams, but still had four run- ners in the top 20: Abigail Miller (11th, 26:02.31), freshman Tori Rehnert (14th, 26:51.72), Hayleigh Anglim (17th, 28:59.54) and Divine Godwin (19th, Knappa High School Knappa senior Robert Piña-Morton, right, led the boys race from start to fi nish Saturday in winning the annual Elk Run near Jewell. 30:09.72). Astoria fi nished with 34 points, fol- lowed by Rainier (42), Vernonia (68) and Warrenton (72). The Astoria girls were missing Ally Pritchard, who usually runs in the Lady Fishermen top four. “I was really proud of how the girls stepped up and kept our points down enough to hold off Rainier, who had a pretty close spread on their fi ve runners,” said Astoria coach Andrew Fick. “That kind of teamwork for our boys and girls teams is going to make us strong in the second half of the season.” In the boys’ varsity race, the Fish- ermen fi nished fi rst with 40 points, with Knappa (62) second, followed by Nestucca (81), Vernonia (112), Rainier (118), Warrenton (121) and Banks (144). Piña-Morton’s winning time was 17:57.59, well in front of Astoria fresh- man John Clement (18:41.89), who edged Knappa freshman Isaiah Rodri- guez (third, 18:43.73). Astoria junior Nikolai Boisvert was fourth (18:53.84), ahead of Warren- ton’s Forrest Cooley (fi fth, 19:29.16) and Astoria freshman John Colquhoun (sixth, 19:34.84). Rounding out Astoria’s top fi ve were sophomore Elias Harding-Coe (10th, 20:05.86) and freshman Tommy Laman (18th, 21:00.58). “We had another good teamwork day out in Jewell,” Fick said. “Our runners worked well as a team and are starting to get more confi dent, getting out fast and working through that tough middle mile. “Faster times will come along later in the season when we get on some of the quicker courses,” he said. “The key right now is to improve how we approach rac- ing and run our race plans. Knappa has some good runners, but our guys got out where they needed to be and worked hard through the whole race, which is what helped us hold them off.” For Knappa, it was a “Great run in Jewell today,” said Logger coach Stan Sporseen, who was “really happy with the Knappa boys. We took another big step. Robert led wire to wire, and Rodri- guez ran the best race of his life. The other Knappa kids ran really well. I’m proud of their efforts.” Warrenton hosts its annual “Wreck Race ” on Tuesday at the Peter Iredale, while most local schools will compete in next Saturday’s 3-Course Challenge at Camp Rilea.
