Neither wind nor rain could keep Sequim’s track squads from maintaining perfect league marks last week.
Jackson Oliver and Oscar Herrera were double winners to lead the boys and Alyse Armstrong and Waverly Shreffler won two events each to lead SHS’s girls as the Wolves dominated in their lone home meet of the 2015 season.
Sequim’s teams both improved to 9-0 against Olympic League 1A and 2A teams, scoring lopsided wins against Kingston, North Mason and Coupeville on their weather-beaten home track.
Herrera, who owns two of the top-seven hurdles times in the state, once again topped the field in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles and helped Sequim’s 4×400 relay team take top honors. Oliver won the high jump with a 6-2 effort and won the long jump with an 18-foot, 11-inch leap.
Joshua Cibene cleared 13 feet in the pole vault to win the event, just three inches off his best mark, while Alex Barry won the javelin (174-7) by better than 50 feet over the runner-up.
Sequim’s Brendon Despain won the 1,600-meter race and placed second in the 800 while Mikey Cobb took top honors in the 3,200-meter race. Austin Adams won the shot put with a 41-foot, 7.5-inch throw.
On the girls’ side, Sequim won in similarly dominating fashion. Armstrong posted wins in the long jump (13-10) and high jump (4-6) while Shreffler, who owns top-four times in both 400- and 800-meter races, won both of those events last week and was second in the 100-meter dash.
Sequim teammate Mercedes Woods won the 200-meter race, took second in the 400 and third in the 100. EMily Van Dyken won the pole vault (8-6) and was second in the triple jump. Sequim’s 4×200 (Woods, Gretchen Happe, Emma Beeson and Telicia Busby) and 4×400 (Happe, Shreffler, Emma Beeson and Sophie Radford) relay teams both won their respective events.
