Chase made it a memorable last meet with a first-place finish in In-Hand Trail while Priddy teamed with Brooke Stromberg to take first in Steer Sorting. Cantelow’s top finish was second place in Keyhole while Martins was fifth in Polebending and helping the Sequim squad take second overall in Drill Team.
