It was a day of firsts Saturday at the state high school cross-country championships at Bartlett High. And seconds, and thirds.

First, the firsts:

First time Alaska’s smallest schools raced in their own division, where the road-tripping Haines Glacier Bears swept everything.

First time the South High girls won a team championship.

First time the Sitka Wolves saw a moose.

Wait, what?

Unlike most of Alaska, there are no moose in Sitka, senior Dominic Baciocco said. So when a big bull with a full rack jumped a short fence and joined Sitka runners who were warming up for their race on the football field, the Wolves were wide-eyed.

A bit later, while trying to chase down defending champion Tristian Merchant of Anchorage Christian, Baciocco saw a black bear on the side of the wooded trail.

“I saw it watch Tristian run by,” he said, “and it looked at me and ran across the trail. I thought at first I was hallucinating.”

Unaware a bear was briefly behind him, Merchant cruised to the Division II boys victory. By successfully defending his title, he was among a group of champions celebrating seconds:

Second straight Division I team title for the Dimond boys. Second straight Division II team title for the Grace Christian boys. And second Division II individual title for Homer senior Autumn Daigle, who won her first title as a sophomore and finished second last season.

“My sophomore year was different because I hadn’t won a race before and wasn’t expecting to win,” Daigle said. “This year I hadn’t lost a race yet and there was more pressure. Everyone was watching me and expecting me to win.”

The list of thirds includes just one name, and it’s one to remember:

West Valley senior Kendall Kramer captured her third straight individual championship, joining a list of three-time Division I girls winners that includes some of Alaska’s greatest athletes, including Kikkan Randall, Allie Ostrander and Betsy Haines.

Like Olympic skiers Randall and Haines, Kramer is best known for cross-country skiing, and she is already a member of the U.S. Ski Team.

But she is a talented runner too, and her 35-second win over runner-up Sadie Tuckwood of Juneau lowered her personal-best time on the Bartlett trails by 13 seconds.

Kramer ran the hilly 5-kilometer course in 17 minutes, 38.5 seconds. The only girl to run a faster time at Bartlett is Ostrander, who two weeks ago was running for Team USA at the world track championships in Qatar.

Also producing swift times were Merchant and Santiago Prosser of Dimond. Training partners when they aren’t running with their teams, both boys won by overwhelming margins.

Merchant, a junior, clocked 15:27.9 to win the Division II title by more than a minute over Baciocco, who was second in 16:32.3. In the Division I race, Prosser finished in 15:14.4 to take a 23-second win over runner-up Alexander Maurer of Service High.

For Prosser, it was a day of firsts and seconds. It was his first state championship after runner-up performances as a junior and a sophomore. And it was the second time a member of the Prosser family won a state championship — Laird Prosser, Santiago’s uncle, was a state champion for Dimond in 1994.

“I was second two years in a row and I did not want to lose this,” Prosser said. “I really wanted to (break 15 minutes) but unfortunately I didn’t put it together in this race. I was too focused on winning.”

Prosser, a senior, has had a stellar season that included course records at Bartlett (15:07 at a meet last month) and Kincaid Park (15:24).

He credited his success to a new mindset that had him concentrating on fast times rather than first place.

“I used to think winning was everything, but I’m doing better going for times,” he said. “The exception was this race. I was not gonna lose this one.”

Prosser was part of a Dimond boys team that landed five runners in the top 15 to repeat as the Division I team champion. Noah Hoefer and Dallin Gardiner joined Prosser in the top five by placing fourth and fifth, respectively.

The South girls earned their first state title by a slim four points over Kramer and West Valley, who boasted three girls in the top five and four in the top 15.

South, led by fourth-place Ava Earl and sixth-place Lucy Young, had just enough depth to edge the Wolfpack. It didn’t put as many runners in the top 15 as West Valley, but all five of its scorers placed in the top 20.

The most impressive team showing came from Grace Christian, which swept the Division II team titles for the seventh time, something it last did in 2013.

The Grizzlies grabbed five of the top nine spots in the boys race, where Seth Kniegge, Vincent Coverdell and Paul Kopp went 4-5-6 and David Sliwinski and Cole Fritzel went 8-9. Their No. 6 finisher, Preston Wethington, finished 11th, and their No. 7 finisher, Ty Elliott, was 17th.

In the girls race, the Grizzlies put all seven of their runners in the top 25. Elise Metzger led the way in third place, and Rebekah Annett, Megan Nelson and Sophia Coverdale went 8-9-10. Genevieve Trevithick was 12th, Reagan Lash 16th and Faith Annet 25th.

Also pulling off a sweep were the Glacier Bears of Haines, who swept the Division III team titles and produced both individual winners. Siyel George won the boys race by 16 seconds in 16:59.1, Avery Williamson won the girls race by 16 seconds in 21:08.

Saturday’s championships came on the third day of a four-day road trip for the Glacier Bears, who drove the 750-miles from Haines to Anchorage in two vans and one bus.

“We left on Thursday at 9 and we stopped at Hidden Lakes and did a 2-mile run,” Williamson said. “We spent the night in Tok and we all ate junk food at Fast Eddy’s.”

The next day they drove to Palmer, where they spent night and stayed up till midnight, Williamson said. They hoped to make it all the way back to Haines by Sunday night, she said.

Runners came from all over Alaska for the meet, which started with the Division III races at 10 a.m. and wrapped up about five hours later with a massive traffic jam in at least one of the Bartlett parking lots.

A dozen state champions were crowned — six individuals and six teams. Among them, the one who is primarily a skier — Kramer — gave the sport of cross country a resounding endorsement.

“You can be such an amazing athlete just by working out an hour and a half a day,” she said, “and with just your shoes.”
