Lehr Tops Track And Field Events

SPOKANE - James Lehr, a 2010 graduate of Waitsburg High School, is a shot put and discus champion in his conference and he's hoping to be an NCAA champion in the near future.

Lehr, who has attended Spokane Falls Community College for the past two years, is working on his degree to teach special education.
