The Rathdrum Parks and Recreation Department is looking for golfers with some serious endurance skills. The 100-hole Lakeland Golf Marathon will be held July 31 at Prairie Golf Course in Post Falls.

There are only 27 spots available with prizes for the longest drive, hole-in-ones and closest to the pin. The event is to raise funds for the Parks Department. For more information, call Lance Bridges at 681-2399.

Six teams from Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene competed in the first annual Blast on the Beach double elimination volleyball tournament on June 2-3. The team Chips & Cheese comprised of John Jensen, Curtis Dupois, Janet Kennedy and Emily Barrick, all of Coeur d’Alene were the winners. C and C received prizes and pocketed $75 for their efforts.

Ten-year-olds Kyle McCrite and Michelle McCullough of Rathdrum won their events in the 50-yard dash in the local Hershey Track Meet held at Lakeland High School on June 10 to qualify for the state competition held at Coeur d’Alene High School July 24.

Rathdrum’s Angelene Little qualified by finishing second in the 50 and Toarrie Riggs in the 100 (18.2). Riggs won the 200 (37.44) followed by Kayla Kuchenski of Athol (42).
