Four talented athletes are joining the squad, including Christian Lybyer, Michael Colvin, Micah Fox, and Bryan Kinene. Each of these young men brings unique skills and experiences that promise to enhance the team’s dynamic and performance.

Christian Lybyer: A Local Star Returns

First up is Lewiston native Christian Lybyer, who will be donning his running shoes to join the cross country team this fall. Lybyer, a product of Lewiston High School, is no stranger to success. He was instrumental in leading his high school soccer team to its first-ever State qualification, showcasing his talent across multiple sports. On top of that, he shined on the golf course, earning the title of Bengal of the Year during his senior year. The coaching staff is particularly thrilled about Lybyer’s addition, noting his positive influence and quick learning ability, both of which will benefit his new teammates.

Michael Colvin: Sprinting into the Future

Next, we have Michael Colvin, hailing from Walla Walla, Washington. Colvin graduated from Walla Walla High School and was recognized as the Most Improved athlete after the 2023-24 season. As a sprinter, he boasts impressive personal bests of 11.20 seconds in the 100m, 23.50 seconds in the 200m, and 56.21 seconds in the 400m. His relay team even made a splash at State with their 4x100m placement. Coaches are optimistic about Colvin’s potential and team spirit, which are sure to boost the sprinter depth this season.

Micah Fox: A Throwing Powerhouse

Micah Fox comes to the team from Fairfield, Idaho, having graduated from Camas County High School. Fox is already making waves, having set the school record in the shot put with an impressive distance of 47’10.5″. On top of that, he has a personal best in the discus throw at 127′ and has claimed victory in both shot put and discus at the Sawtooth Conference titles. His determination helped his high school team capture a conference title, and Fox earned all-conference honors by finishing third in the shot put at the district meet. The coaching staff sees great potential in Fox and believes he can continue to grow and excel at the collegiate level.

Bryan Kinene: Jumping into the Spotlight

Last, but certainly not least, is Bryan Kinene, another talented athlete from Walla Walla High School. Kinene is expected to elevate the jumps category for the Warriors with personal bests that include 21’2″ in the long jump, 43’19.75″ in the triple jump, and 5’8″ in the high jump. Notably, he ranks ninth in school history in the triple jump and earned the title of team MVP in 2025. With coach reports hinting at a promising trajectory for Kinene, there’s no doubt he will make a significant impact this coming season.

Team Growth and Cohesion Ahead
