YAKIMA -- Anthony Armstrong may someday have a better day on a bigger stage.
But it likely will be a long time before Kamiakin's distance dynamo or his Braves teammates top what they accomplished Saturday at the prestigious Sunfair Invite at Franklin Park.
Armstrong's victory in the signature seventh flight over an elite field that would rival any state meet was the crowning moment on a day the Braves dominated. Kamiakin's 28-point total was 10 better than host Eisenhower and Eagle, Idaho.

RICHLAND -- The sport of running will never rival the likes of football for attention.
Tonight's football game between Kennewick and Kamiakin high schools figures to fill up the 6,800-seat Lampson Stadium.
The Richland Invite -- the area's biggest regular-season cross country meet -- likely will draw several hundred spectators, mostly family and friends. And even the all-classes state event at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco can't compete with a regular-season showdown between city rivals.

KENNEWICK It's Kamiakin's world; everyone else is just running in it.
In terms of the Mid-Columbia cross country scene, that's an apt description of this last fall season.
The Braves boys and girls not only dominated league meets -- at times placing their full squad of seven in the top 10 -- they performed well at the big races and brought home a bounty of state hardware.
