The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON – Dayton's Hayden Wooldridge won four events at the Dayton Local Schools Invite track meet here on March 28. Teammate Chris Andrews also got two wins.

Wooldridge placed first in the long jump with a huge leap of 18-03, a personal best. He also topped the 110 and 300-meter hurdles with times of 17.91 and 48.62 respectively. And he was a member of the first-place 4X100 relay team.

Fellow relay teammate Chris Andrews won the 100-meter race, clocking in at 12.65. He also recoreded a personal best to win the 200 meters with a time of 26.46.

The winning relay team of Andrews, Wooldridge, Cole John and Cal Martin clocked in under 50 seconds for the first time, running 49.95.

In the 3200 meters, Dayton's Zech Bryan took first with a time of 12:46.56. His teammate, Wyatt Johnson, finished second. Bryan was also second in the 1600 meters.

In the field events, Martin got two more wins, with a toss of 39-10.50 in the shot put, and a javelin throw of 139-02.

On Saturday, the Bulldogs traveled to Hanford High School in Richland and competed on the large stage with schools of all sizes. Several of Dayton's athletes were gone for spring break and a few were out sick.

Coach Dan Nechodom was very proud of his team at the big meet. "Aliyah Picarella continues to get faster, setting a PR in the 100 meters," Nechodom said. "Both Enrique and Isreal Ramsey had a very enjoyable time competing on the big stage against lots of large schools, and turned in PRs in a couple of events. Their most notable performances were improvements of nearly three feet and four feet for each in the shotput, and Isreal's 10-foot increase in the javelin. The standout performance for the day, though, was from Cole John. With a sore tailbone, he budgeted energy extremely well for the 400m and pulled in 4 seconds faster than his previous best."

Dayton will compete Friday in Milton Freewater at the Carnival of Speed.
