Sequim’s Riley Martin won two events, the 110-meter hurdles (In 15.78 seconds) and the 300-meter hurdles (43.81 seconds), while Forks’ Cole Baysinger won two individual events, the discus (129 feet, 1 inch) and the high jump (5-8) and Port Angeles’ Liam Clark won both the long jump (17-8 ¾) and the triple jump (40-8).

The Sequim 4×100 (Silas Isenberger, Logan Laxson, Darren Salazar, Alec Shingleton) and 4×400 (Isenberger, Trey Brouillard, Martin and Shingleton) relays both took first, in 45.783 and 3:40.3, respectively.

Other boys’ winners include:

• 100-meter dash — Salazar, Sequim, 11.81

• 200-meter dash — Isenberger, Sequim, 23.71

• 400-meter run — Brouillard, Sequim, 56.19

• 800-meter run — Shingleton, Sequim, 2:08.38

• 1,500-meter run — Murray Bingham, Sequim, 4:17.93.

For the girls, the Long sisters — Millie and Gracie — were busy for Port Angeles.

Millie Long won the 200-meter run (28.31) and the 300-meter hurdles (49.73), while Gracie Long won the 1,500-meter run (5:08.99), the high jump (4-8) and the 1,500-meter steeplechase in a school record time of 5:19.82.

Roughrider Maddie Dougherty also won the 800-meter run (2:35.11) and the 3,000-meter run (11:18.65) as it was a clean sweep in the distance events for Port Angeles. Technically, Port Angeles’ Lauren Larson won the 3,000 meters in a time of 11:18.62, but she is a freshman and was running as a junior varsity competitor, so Doughterty gets credit for varsity first place. Larson gets bragging rights.

“Maddie was the designated varsity runner. They both ran together the whole race averaging 93-second laps and then both ran a 77-second last lap and the straight-a-way duel was really thrilling. Neither would give in and they traded leads all the way. A classic,” said Port Angeles track coach Rob Sheedy

The Port Angeles 4×400 relay team of Dougherty, Gracie Long, Kenzie DeLeon and Lauren Larson won with a time of 4:44.12.

Other girls’ winners include:

• 4×200 relay — Clallam Bay (Kendra Anderson, Sidney Smith, Hannah Olson, Miriam Wonderly), 2:01.64

• 100-meter hurdles — Shayli Schuman, Sequim, first, 17.20.

• Shot put — Devin Edwards, PA, 32-6 1/4.

• Pole Vault — Elizabeth Sweet, Sequim, 9-0.
