  The Dalles grabbed four of the top six places to win the Tri-Valley Conference boys’ title at McIver Park.  Juan Diego Contreras and Leo Lemann led the way with a 1-2 finish, while teammates Egan Ziegenhagen and Tyson Long were fifth and sixth.  The Riverhawks finished third in a close girls’ run, three points back of Crook County and Molalla.  Alana Casady was the top runner for The Dalles in third to qualify for the state Class 4A meet in Eugene, and there is a chance the entire team could advance.  An additional team will be selected by a committee after all 4-A district meets have concluded on Saturday.
