COLLEGE PLACE – Under sunny skies on a beautiful spring day, the District 9 track meet brought the league season to an end for area schools. Waitsburg ended an impressive season with a strong showing Wednesday, sending many athletes to the Regional meet next weekend in Spokane, where they will face off with qualifying members from District 7 teams.
Waitsburg's Emily Adams stole the show, sweeping all four events she entered, including the 800, 1600 ,and 3200 meter runs and the triple jump. "Emily won all her events today," said Waitsburg coach Jeff Bartlow. "I don't know if I've ever seen that done, in my 16 years, on the lady's side."
Adams wasn't the only Waitsburg athlete to stand atop the podium four times on Wednesday, as Travis Crockett placed first in the 100 and 200 meters and the high jump, as well as anchoring the winning 4x100 relay team that also included Landon Callas, Nicolas Kitselman, and Joe Leamy.
Callas also had a good meet, taking first in the 110 and 300 meter hurdles and third in the high jump, to supplement his relay team's win.
Waitsburg's TJ Morrison and Skylar Wood qualified for regionals in the 400 and 3200 meter events respectively. Wood was second in the 3200 and Morrison was fourth in the 400.
Kitselman added a second place finish in the 110 meter hurdles and a third in the 300 meter hurdles to go along with his relay performance.
Throwing events also brought success for Waitsburg, as Mark Montgomery and Zion Branson both qualified in the shot put, finishing second and third, respectively. Brandon Penner (second) joined Montgomery (third) and Branson (fifth) in qualifying in the discus event. Cameron Terry, Andre Potts, and Kitselman all qualified in the triple jump, with third, fourth, and fifth place finishes.
"Today is a great day for the Cardinals," said Bartlow, when asked to give his thoughts on the meet.
Dayton's track athletes held their own as well, with many team members putting in strong enough performances to gain a position in the Regional meet.
Angela Mascall stood out, winning both the 100 and 200 meter events, as well as anchoring Dayton's second place 4x100 relay team, that also consisted of Alexus Wanlarbkam, Angie Dedloff and Emily McFarland. Wanlarbkam also won the 110 meter hurdles.
Neylan Bryan of Dayton won the 400-meter race, as well as sneaking into the last qualifying spot in the shot put event, placing fifth. She also placed fourth in long jump. Dedloff also qualified in triple jump and discus, taking fifth in both. McFarland added a third-place in long jump, making it two events for her at Regionals, including her relay.
On the boys' side for the Bulldogs, Cal Martin was second in the javelin, sending him on to the next round.
"Very happy, very happy. We had several first places that I was very pleased about, some I was surprised about," said Dayton Coach Dan Nechodom about his team's performance on Wednesday.
Another noteworthy performance came from a member of the Waitsburg coaching staff, as Ron Huntington was taking part in his 50th District 9 meet. Huntington received a warm reception at the meet, as many were expressing their gratitude for his many years of dedication to local athletes and sports.
The District 7/9 Regional meet will take place May 20 and 21 at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley.
