Girls’ soccer teams like South and Palmer dominated, while boys’ squads from Soldotna and Kenai Central lit up the scoreboard. Baseball saw Homer and Palmer crush it, and Kodiak flexed its power. Softball scores went through the roof. But the true stars shone on the track: Ashlyn Paynter and Autumn Larson led Division I girls, while Katahdin Staples and Corde Bates ruled the boys’ events. Division II brought hometown heroes—Homer’s Jaelynn Kennon and Ariela Garvey, Wrangell’s Boomchain Loucks, and Sitka’s Cole McLaughlin—all smashing records. Adaptive and unified events delivered heart-pounding sportsmanship. These athletes aren’t just playing—they’re proving excellence is built on sweat, grit, and guts.
