Man who hit Nyssa wrestler avoids charges from Idaho prosecutor
The man who ran onto the mat and hit a Nyssa High School wrestler in January has avoided criminal charges from Idaho’s Canyon County Prosecutor Bryan Taylor. Russell Brunson agreed on a non-prosecution agreement with the Canyon County Prosecuting Attorney, meaning that he will not face jail time so long as he sticks with the agreement he made with the prosecutor’s office, which was first reported by The Argus Observer. The agreement details that Brunson will not be allowed to attend Idaho high school sporting events for a year, will not be able to coach again at the Idaho high school level, not commit any new crimes and that he will be unable to appeal his suspension.

The Race to Robie Creek, the “toughest half marathon in the Northwest,” took place beneath a sunny, blue-sky spring canopy on Saturday. Between 2,000 and 3,000 hardcore “crazies” ran up and down Aldape Summit in a 13.1-mile course — one of the steepest racing courses — to then cross over the finish line at Robie Creek. The “up” part is 2,100 feet in elevation, where runners typically trudge through snow-pack up top, and then go down a brutal 1,700-foot descent.
