The second annual Kootenai Valley Triathlon brought dozens of competitors to the starting line at Libby Christian Church last weekend before running, paddling and pedaling their way to the finish line 17-and-a-half miles later.
Forty-one individuals and eight teams completed the triathlon on Saturday that led competitors on a circuit around Libby, down the Kootenai River and back up Kootenai River Road to the Libby Christian Church.
Ben Scott took first overall, finishing the circuit in 1 hour, 29 minutes and 32 seconds. Jared Lampton took second with a time of 1:40:29 and Carol Lisle took third overall and first in women’s with a time of 1:42:42.
“It’s a good time and I think the Christian Church did a great job of putting it on.”
In the team division, runner Brittany Katzer, paddler Amy Fantozzi and biker Hannah Huck finished first with a time of 1:35:53. Kori Peterson, Dani Gordon and Nick Peterson followed up in 1:38:45 and Lydia Graff and Steve Becker took third with a time of 1:44:44.
