ELLENSBURG — Two former area athletes helped Olympic College track and field take first in the women’s 4×400-meter relay at Central Washington University’s Spike Arlt Invitational.

Jolene Millsap (Port Angeles, 2014) and Hannah Hudson (Sequim, 2014) both ran legs of the 4×400 for the Rangers on April 22.
