SCAPPOOSE, Ore. — The Forks boys cross-country team got two runners in the top 13 and finished fourth as a team in the DAM Worth It Invitational held along the Columbia River in Scappoose, Ore.
The race featured five other teams from Oregon.
Forks’ Nova Raupp finished 11th in a time of 19 minutes, 27 seconds, while Kevin Camacho-Roldan was 13th with a time of 19:28.
Forks made a solid team showing with six runners in the top 37. The Spartans’ Braden Camacho was 21st in a time of 20:58, Brian Lucas was 28th in 23:00, Darinel Garcia-Lopez was 32nd at 23:32 and Klayton Fletcher was 37th at 24:16.
Scappoose won the meet with 44 points, while Forks had 97 (Cross country is like golf in which lower scores are better.).
The Forks girls didn’t have enough runners for team scores. Kendall Marshall for Forks was 19th with a time of 27:16. Annika Leverington was 28th (29:17), Hailey Garcia-Moog 34th (40:20) and Erame Tost 35th (41:15).

East Jefferson vs. Cascade Christian
PORT TOWNSEND — The East Jefferson girls soccer team hopes to learn later this week if a game stopped at halftime due to smoke in Fife will be finished or if a 2-1 Cascade Christian lead will be allowed to stand as a complete game.
The game was stopped because the Air Quality Index had dropped to 157, which is considered “unhealthy.”
Coach Robert Cantley said he was initially told that it was a Cascade Christian victory, but in reviewing Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules about a game called due to weather conditions, Cantley said there is a provision that games will be finished from the point they were stopped. He said East Jefferson plans to file an appeal today.
Cantley said the AQI was 110 at the beginning of the game, which is “unhealthy for at-risk persons.” “I didn’t feel good about starting the game,” he said.
In the half of play, he said the Rivals gave up a couple of soft goals to Cascade Christian and missed a penalty kick.
But then Ava Shiflett scored on a 30-yard boot on a free kick to get the Rivals back in the game.
“I’ve never had a game stopped due to weather. I think smoke is a relatively new issue we’re going to have to deal with,” Cantley said.
