IDAHO NOMINEES

Isaiah Anzaldua, Middleton baseball: 5A SIC first-timers won District 3 title with a 6-5 win over top seed Owyhee. Anzaldua was the hero, ripping a two-out, bases-loaded RBI single up the middle in the seventh inning to win it.

Gatlin Bair, Burley boys track and field: No wind - just home-stretch greatness from the two-sport wunderkind. He lowered his 100-meter dash time to 10.15 seconds at the 4A District 4 Championships. It is tied for the fourth-fastest mark in the nation.

Keenan Blair, Jerome boys track and field: Ripped up the 4A District 4 Championships in the throws, recording a state-best mark of 58 feet, 6 inches in the shot put, and taking over the No. 2 mark in the discus (176-8).

Brylin Field, Kuna softball: The Kavemen had no issues putting softball over fences en route to their first district title since 2016. Field led the parade with four home runs in the final two games, including go-ahead blast in finals' win over Capital.
