PORT TOWNSEND — Eileen Leoso is left with only herself to chase.
In her first triple jump competition, the Port Townsend freshman broke a school record that’s older than she is.
Leoso’s mark of 35 feet, 0.25 inch surpasses the previous school record of 34-03 set by Tyra Landis in 1998.
Leoso’s triple jump ranks third in Class 1A and first on the North Olympic Peninsula so far this season. It’s the area’s best mark since Port Angeles’ Zoe Owens went 35-04 at state in 2014.
Leoso’s distance also broke the meet record at the eighth annual Flynn-vitational at Bellevue Christian School in Clyde Hill on Saturday.
She also set a new meet record in the long jump with a 15-07.75.
Port Townsend had two other athletes break meet records Saturday.
Junior Seren Dances surpassed the previous best marks in the boys long jump (21-03) and triple jump (41-11.25).
Senior Koby Weidner set meet records in the 100-meter dash (11.62 seconds) and the 400 (54.68 seconds).

Sequim splits pair of matches
SEQUIM — The Wolves finished their pre-spring break schedule by notching their third victory of the season.
Sequim (1-3, 3-4), missing four starters, defeated Ketchikan of Alaska 2-0 on Friday at Sequim High School. It was only the Wolves second home match of the season.
On Thursday, the Wolves lost to North Kitsap 2-1 in Poulsbo.
It took Sequim only two minutes to cease the scoreless tie that began Friday’s match. Thomas Winfield went down the right side and scored a goal off an assist by Konnor Parrish.
Early in the second half, Josh Gonzalez played a through-ball into Josiah Urquia, who collided with Ketchikan’s goalkeeper.
The ball popped up, and Parrish was there to finish it and extend Sequim’s lead to 2-0 in the 44th minute.
The Wolves outshot the Kings 10-3.
Parrish was chose by coach Dave Brasher as Sequim’s player of the match.
The Wolves suffered a significant loss in Friday’s match. Junior defender Patrick McCrorie left the field with what appeared to be a twisted ankle but ended up being a broken ankle.
Brasher said McCrorie, who was voted All-Peninsula in 2015, likely won’t return this season.
McCrorie was picked as Sequim’s player of the match in Thursday’s Olympic League 2A loss to North Kitsap.
The Wolves took a 1-0 lead in the 14th minutes when Urquia scored a left-footed goal off a pass by Cameron Chase.
Sequim held the lead until late in the second half.
Wolves center defender Christian Benson rolled his ankle and left the match in the 32nd minute.
“We had to pull him out and make changes that didn’t quite work,” Brasher said.
Sequim goalkeeper Austin Wagner made a save in the 35th minute, but in the ball got knocked around and was eventually knocked into a goal by a Sequim player. That tied the match at 1-1.
North Kitsap took a 2-1 lead in the 38th minute when Will Thompson curled in a free kick from about 25 feet out.
“It was nice,” Brasher said. “Not much Austin could do about that.”
The Wolves had more chances throughout the remainder of the second half but couldn’t convert.
At least, not officially. Winfield headed a shot that bounced off the top of the goal and straight down. And possibly in.
“It was one of those that needed goal-line technology,” Brasher said.
“All our kids thought it was in, but ref didn’t call it in.”
McCrorie also has some nice chances in the waning minutes.
“There was definitely a lot of pressure, but we couldn’t get the equalizer,” Brasher said.
“The kids played really hard. I was real proud of them.”
North Kitsap outshot Sequim 12-10.
Wagner made four saves for the Wolves.
Sequim finished the season with six of its nine remaining games at home. To start that stretch, the Wolves host Port Townsend (2-2-1) on Tuesday, April 12.

FORKS — The Spartans dropped an Evergreen League doubleheader to the Bulldogs at Tillicum Park.
Senior Sarah Adams went 3 for 3 for Forks in Friday’s first game.
The Spartans trailed 10-0 before scoring six straight runs, five in the third and one in the sixth.
“We did string five hits together in the third, proving we can do it, but the consistency just isn’t there yet,” Forks coach Scott Bennett said.
“The thing is, although it’s a young team, I know the scores and fielding difficulties are not a true picture of this team.
“We’re working on it and I’m hoping we will show it.”
Forks (0-5, 1-5) plays another league doubleheader at Eatonville (0-6, 0-7) today.
