Kenai Central junior Allie Ostrander has been chosen as the Gatorade Alaska Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year for the third straight year.

Ostrander, with another year left on the trails, now has more girls runner of the year awards than anybody else.

According to Gatorade’s website, the award has been given out since 2008. Leah Francis of Juneau-Douglas won in 2008 and 2009, while Kenny Lake’s Kailey Wilson won in 2010 and Service’s Jenette Northey won in 2011.

There’s still a long way to go in the prep basketball season, but one thing that is clear is that the Soldotna teams are rolling.

The Soldotna boys went to overtime with the Palmer Moose on Saturday and came out with a 63-55 win at Palmer High School. Earlier in the day, the SoHi girls doubled up on Palmer 52-26.

The Stars trailed for much of the boys game, but managed to hit 11 of 16 free throws in the overtime period to clinch the Northern Lights Conference victory.

Led by four individual champions, the Kenai Central wresting team took second place at the Colony Invitational on Saturday.

Colony won the meet with 227.5 points, while the Kards scored 137. Soldotna was seventh with 39 points.

Kelcei Zoda was the first champion, taking first at 98 pounds. He pinned Bruce Hill of Wasilla in the title bout.

Paul Steffensen then won at 126, taking a major decision over Colony’s Jordan Nero in the championship bout.

Ellery Steffensen took his title at 138. He took a 4-0 decision over Robert Haan of Colony in the title bout.

Twelve goals were scored in the 45 minutes that the Dimond Lynx and Kenai Central Kardinals faced each other on the ice on Saturday, but it was the Lynx leaving with an 8-4 win at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

Jake Eubank netted a hat trick to lead the Kards, but the Lynx’s Aidan Teilborg did even better, scoring five goals for Dimond.
