Columbia Bruins.
WHITE SALMON — The Columbia High School (CHS) girls cross country team won the 2024 Trico League championship cross country meet Oct. 24 at Vancouver Lake Regional Park.
It was the third straight conference title for the Bruins, who scored 36 team points to the 68 scored by runner-up La Center. Runners will compete this week at the state-meet qualifying District IV 1A/2A Championship — Oct. 31 at Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland.
Columbia was led at the conference meet by sophomore Lilah Zimmerman, who won her third race this fall and her second Trico League crown. Zimmerman was timed over the Vancouver Lake 5,000-meter course in 20 minutes, six seconds, besting runner-up Casie Kleine of Castle Rock by five seconds.
Columbia also had the fourth and fifth place finishers in Helen Hoskins (21:16) and Kathryn O’Connor (21:21). Maya Tama was 12th in a personal record 22:54 and teammate Maisy Kollman was 14th in 23:07 (also a PR) to complete the Bruins’ team score. Heidi Hoppus was 18th and Damary’s Alvarez and Eda O’Connor were 20th and 21st for Columbia.
The Bruin boys, third at the league final the past two seasons, finished second last week with 72 points. Seton Catholic also scored 72 points, but Columbia’s No. 6 runner — Milo Hoppus — finished ahead of Seton’s to break the tie.
Columbia senior Noah Slayton was third in the boys race in a personal best 16:59. Sam Soto of Seton won the race in 16:42 and Carter Sherry of team champion La Center was second.
Columbia’s other varsity point scorers at the conference meet were Cole Wooding (17th, 18:14); Luther Thomas (19th, 18:33); Jack Brooks (22nd, 18:46); and Colby Clark (25th, 19:15). Milo Hoppus was part of a pack of four CHS runners finishing 29th through 32nd: Hoppus (19:32), Ethan Hayes (19:36), Carter Smith (19:38), and Everett Coyner (19:47). Thomas, Brooks and Hayes recorded personal bests at the conference meet.
