Sequim’s track squad got good performances in Tacoma, but eyes are on even better finishes in this city in late May.

The Wolves posted 14 efforts in the top 10 at the Tacoma Invitational at Lincoln Bowl on April 11, with Oscar Herrera and Alex Barry leading the way for the boys and Waverly Shreffler for the girls.

Barry and Herrera both had two top-five finishes and helped Sequim’s 4×100 relay (with Miguel Moroles and Kane Stoddard) take fifth and 4×400 relay (also with Moroles and Stoddard) take sixth.

Barry won the triple jump with a personal best leap of 42 feet 10.5 inches, edging Lincoln High senior Dehonta Hayes by 3 inches. Barry also took second in the javelin with a 164-9 mark, second to Peninsula’s Austin Kilcup by about four feet.

Herrera took third in the 110-meter high hurdles (15.64) and fourth in the 300-meter hurdles (41.10).

Sequim’s Jackson Oliver was second in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 2 inches, edged out by Brandon Swanson of Emerald Ridge who won by tiebreaker.

Sequim also had a pair of pole vaulters in the top 10, with Josh Cibene fifth at 11-0 and Rickey Gross ninth at 10-0.

On the girls’ side, Shreffler was third in the 400-meter race with a 2:22.03 — just eight hundredths of a second off a personal best — and joined Gretchen Happe, Megan Breckenridge and Heidi Vereide in helping the 4×400 relay squad place fifth with a 4:11.62 mark. (That mark eclipses Sequim’s 4×400 relay team’s top mark in 2014 of 4:11.95 set at a sub-district tourney that earned a spot at the state 2A meet.)

Sequim’s Alyse Armstrong posted a pair of top-10 marks, matching personal bests with a 4-10 high jump (sixth place) and 7-0 in the pole vault (ninth). Her sister Cheryl set a personal best in the discus with an 89-foot 7-inch throw, good for sixth place.

California racing

SHS senior Mikey Cobb took part in the Arcadia Invitational in Arcadia, Calif., earning a 17th place finish in the 3200-meter race with a 10:23 finish.

Looking ahead

Sequim is back in action on April 16 at Port Townsend, taking on 1A schools Chimacum, Klahowya and the host Redhawks.

The Wolves host Coupeville, Kingston and North Mason on April 23 and are at the Bremerton Invitational on April 25.
