Snyders finish 1-2 in Cavanal Killer; LCBC faces high water

Man of the Woods Experience

- By PDN Sports Editor Tom Firme

The Cavanal Killer, an event operated by the Poteau Chamber of Commerce, saw 283 participan­ts finish the 8K run/ walk to the top of Cavanal Hill on Saturday.

Josh Snyder won it in 43:25.

His son, Stihl, took second place in 46:16. Kendal Repas was third in 47:55. Fred James was fourth in 49:05.

Micaiah Wagner was fifth in 50:04.

Five seconds later, Pamela Dombek finished as the top female. April Shroff was the second female, finishing in 52:02. Madison Parks was the third female, finishing in 55:40.

I had hoped to do the Cavanal Killer and a 5K in Van Buren, Ark., on Saturday, but the 5K in Van Buren was canceled due to the park flooding and I wasn’t physically 100 percent that morning.

I’ll be ready to do my second Cavanal Killer next year.

Upcoming tournament

schedule

The LeFlore County Bass Club Junior Bassmaster­s tournament scheduled for Saturday was postponed to a later date due to high water.

There will be an LCBC Junior Bassmaster­s tournament on Sunday, launching from the gravel ramp in Keota.

The LCBC club tournament that will be Saturday at Lake Eufaula will launch away from Highway 9 East since the ramp is closed due to high water.

All Anglers will be allowed to trailer for the event.

The cost is $50 per angler. Bucky McGee will take money at the E-Z Mart at the four-way stop in Enterprise from 4:455:40 a.m.

Anglers must pay there during that time. Weigh-in will be at the Highway 9 North ramp at 3 p.m.

Anglers may only trailer once and cannot begin fishing until 6 a.m.

If you have questions, contact McGee at 918635-0909, Cody Ramsey at 918-649-7361 or Dennis Roper at 918-653-7504.

The next open tournament will be May 21 at Wister Lake, launching from Ward’s Landing.

Recycle. Save the world.

Find me a trail. Have a great weekend.
