2B Track: Brooks-Johnson Wins Four at Seven-Team C2BL Meet

Posted

    NAPAVINE — Alissa Brooks-Johnson, once again, won all four of her events in a seven-team Central 2B League track meet here Thursday.

    The Pe Ell senior, switching her schedule up in the limited meet, edged Adna's Regyn Gaffney, 25.89 seconds to 25.92 seconds, in the 200 meters for her closest win of the event. Brooks-Johnson and Gaffney's times on Thursday are now the two fastest times in that race in Washington's 2B ranks this season.

    Brooks-Johnson also won the 100 hurdles (15.39), the high jump (4 feet, 8 inches) and the discus (99-10). Teammate Sami-Jo Robinson won the triple jump (31-4), the long jump (15-5) and the javelin (111-7), helping the Trojans to a second-place finish behind Napavine.

    Gaffney also won the 100 (12.72), and ran a leg of the winning 4x400 relay with Jessie VonBargen, Melyssa Nocis and Kaitlin Davis.

    Josie Dekoker paced the host Tigers with a win in the 300 hurdles (52.29). Teammate Emily Potter won the pole vault at 6-6.

    Morton-White Pass' Kenzie Anderson won the 400, and Mossyrock's Alicia Herrera won the 800 and the 1600. The Viking girls won the 4x100 and 4x200 relays, as well.

    The Timberwolf boys won the team title, getting wins from Jeff Fenbert in the 100 meters (11.67 seconds) and the 200 (24.12). Ben Powell and Tyler Barnett won the 110 and 300 hurdles, respectively, for MWP, and the T-Wolves won both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

    The host Tigers got a win from Kody Robertson in the shot put (40 feet, 10.5 inches) and Bailey Robertson in the javelin (138-4), while Tristan Erven won the high jump and Michael Giessler won the pole vault at an even 10 feet.

    Pe Ell freshman Josh Schulz won both the long jump (18-7.75) and the triple jump (40-1), and Mossyrock's Brandon Butler won the 400 and Riley Spahn won the discus for the Vikings (127-6).

    Onalaska's Stephen Bottoms won the 1600 in 4:33.43 — giving him a cushion of nearly 30 seconds, though coming 9 seconds short of his state-best mark in the event — and teammate Josh Hunt won the 3200 in 11:21.83.

    Napavine, Morton-White Pass, Mossyrock, Adna and Pe Ell will all run in the two-day Chehalis Activators Classic, starting next Friday afternoon at W.F. West High School.



Warrior Girls Win at Home

    ROCHESTER — The Warrior girls came out on top of a four-team SWW 1A League track meet here Thursday afternoon, led by a pair of wins from Kendra Sandford in the hurdles.

    Sandford won the 100-meter hurdles in 17.99 seconds, and took the 300 hurdles in 50.02 — despite, according to Warrior coach Troy Holman, being sick the night before.

    Anna Vazquez won the 100 for the Warrior girls, while Lupe Vazquez won the 200. Kenna Fosnacht won the 3200 with a season-best time of 12:48, and ran a leg of the winning 4x400 relay with Kaylin Fosnacht, Yeshi Bochsler, and Allison Strickler.

    Tenino finished second on the girls side. Jaclyn Huber won the long jump with a leap of 14-6.5 for the Beavers, and Bailey Fisher won the 1600 (6:19).

    Winlock's girls finished fourth, despite wins from Aliah Waterman (shot put) and Sarah Howsden (javelin).

    The Warrior boys finished second to defending State 1A champion Hoquiam, 86.5 to 85. Cody Triana won both hurdle races, winning the 110 race in 16.34 and the 300 in 43.57 — both of which were personal-bests.

    Ryan Baxter notched wins in the 1600 and 800, while Angel Vazquez won the 400. Freshman Peter Holman won the 3200 for his first high school victory.

    Tenino's Garret Eckardt won the discus at 100 feet, 7 inches, and Winlock's Chance Fisher won the high jump at 5-6.
