Bret Schoolmeester, Andrew Cook and Stephanie Rothstein were among the thousands of athletes, fans and family in town for the Olympic Trials.

The trio were also among the first — of 5,920 total entrants in the race and walk — to finish Friday’s 34th Butte to Butte 10-kilometer road race.

Schoolmeester, 24, of Portland, crossed the finish line in Skinner Butte Park first in 30 minutes, 6 seconds to set a course record for his age group.
