The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DW COMBINE-The Wolfpack boy's track team placed sixth out of ten teams at the River View Invite on March 30.

The following athletes placed in the top eight, and three received medals:

Vaughn Walter was first in the high jump and seventh in the javelin.

Teegan Kenney was third in the long jump and fifth place in the 400 meters.

Reuben Yutzy placed fourth in the 100-meter dash and the 300-meter hurdles and was seventh in the long jump.

Tristan Rennaker placed fifth in the triple jump.

Blake French was fifth in the long jump and seventh in the triple jump.

In the women's division, Alyssa Hollingsworth placed seventh in the 200-meter dash and the long jump. Kaydance Tiner took home eighth place finishes for shot put and discus.

Coach Nechodom said he brought a small crew to the 5th Annual Clay Lewis Invite at Hanford Stadium on April 1. The team competed against thirteen teams in windy conditions. Athletes experienced the weather's effects on the aerodynamics of a discus throw, to the frustration of being pushed over the toe-line for the long jump.

Blake French recorded personal records in the 100-meter dash, discus, and triple jump. Alyssa Byers, a first-year track athlete, added another foot to her personal best distance in the javelin.

The next track meet will be in Boardman, Oregon, at the Columbia River Invite on April 14th.
