Waitsburg-Prescott sprinter James Thompkins led the WP boys' track and field team to a 3rd-place finish at the state 2B meet in Cheney in May. The team missed second place by one point. Thompkins, then a junior, won the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes and anchored the winning 4x400 meter relay team. Other strong performances at the state meet included Ben Shafer's second place in the shot put and Seth Deal's 3rd place in the 3,200 meter run and sixth in the 1,600 meter run. Brendan Donovan placed 10th in the 110 meter hurdles and 13th in the 300 meter hurdles. WP's 57 points trailed only LaConner with 58 and league-rival Asotin with 64.
