Track and Field

Alex Barry takes second

LACEY — Western Washington University freshman Alex Barry (Sequim, 2015) placed second in the javelin in his first college meet, Saint Martin’s University’s SMU Open.

Barry, who won the Class 2A state javelin title last year, threw 195 feet, 8 inches at Saturday’s meet. His best mark at Sequim was 186-04, so he has already added more than 9 feet since last spring.

Barry was only 8 inches short of first-place finisher Cole Sunkel of Olympic College, who won the 4A javelin title for South Kitsap in 2015.

Two seconds for Braithwaite

TACOMA — Cameron Braithwaite (Port Angeles, 2012) earned a pair of runner-up finishes for the University of Puget Sound at its Peyton Scoring Meet late last month.

Braithwaite took second in the pole vault with a height of 13 feet, 5.25 inches. He also was part of the Loggers’ 4×400-meter relay that finished second with a time of 3 minutes, 31.81 seconds.

At last weekend’s SMU Open at Saint Martin’s University, Braithwaite had four top-five showings: fourth in the triple jump (43-0.5) and the pole vault (14-01.25) and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.12 seconds) and the 4×100 relay (44.39 seconds).

Millsap third in relay

LACEY — Jolene Millsap (Port Angeles, 2014) helped Olympic College place third in the 4×100-meter relay at Saint Martin’s University’s SMU Open last weekend.

Millsap ran the anchor leg of the relay that the Rangers finished in 50.94 seconds.

Millsap and Hannah Hudson (Sequim, 2014) were part of Olympic’s sixth-place 4×400 relay (4:18.52).
