PREP TRACK & FIELD: Sequim runs down boys and girls meet victories

Forks fares well against 2A schools

BREMERTON — Sequim athletes swept a six-team Class 2B/2A track and field meet at Olympic High School on Wednesday as the Wolves girls held back Bremerton 156-149 and the Sequim boys edged the Knights 134-129.

Forks was one of two Class 2B schools participating in the meet and the Spartans girls squad ended up fourth with 63 points while the boys were fifth ahead of league foe Chief Leschi.

Senior Rileigh Van Dyken won two field events for Sequim, taking the pole vault with a leap of 7 feet and the triple jump (27-2).

Riley Pyeatt was a two-event winner, claiming the 800 meters in 2 minutes, 22.50 seconds, ahead of teammate Eve Mavy, who set a personal record in 2:27.46. Pyeatt also ran down a win in the 1,600 (5:22.17), more than a full minute ahead of the runner-up.

Pyeatt and Mavy teamed with Hi’ilel Robinson and Kaitlyn Bloomenrader to win the 4×200 relay (1:52:06). Mavy, Robinson and Bloomenrader along with Emily Carlier, claimed the 4×400 relay in 4:26:07, the 10th-fastest Class 2A 4×400 time of the season on athletic.net.

Mavy, Robinson, Bloomenrader and Pyeatt are the No. 1-ranked Class 2A 4×400 relay squad on the year after winning the Lil Norway Invite in 4:09.88 last Saturday.

Robinson claimed the 200 with a personal-record time of 28.46 seconds for the Wolves

Forks’ Julie Biciunas won the high jump for the Spartans, clearing 4-4, while freshman teammate Peyton Johnson ended up second in the javelin (73-6), and senior discus thrower Lindsay Edwards set a personal-best distance of 74-9 to finish third.

Boys results

On the boys side, Colby Ellefson swept the long-distance races for the Wolves, taking the 3,200 in 10:37.96 and the 1,600 in 4:49.91. Ellefson currently has the third-best Class 2A 3,000 meter time in the state this season (9:47.76).

Sequim hurdler Adrian Brown had a great meet, winning the 300 hurdles in 44.3 and setting a personal record of 16.15 to finish second in the 110, just 0.08 off Cheif Leschi’s Moses Moody.

Brown’s best hurdles times this season are good for seventh in 2A (300) and ninth (100).

The Wolves’ 4×400 relay of Henry Hughes, Mirek Skov, Adrian Brown and Andrew Brown breezed to a nearly 18-second win (3:47.52).

Sequim is set to compete at Saturday’s Eason Invitational at Snohomish.

Forks sophomore Sloan Tumaua was the Spartans’ lone event winner, taking the discus by nearly 16 feet with a throw of 126-6.

Senior Ashton Doyle (23.84) was edged out by Bremerton winner DShawn Harvison (23.57) in the 200 sprint, and Doyle also came in third in the 100 sprint in 11.66, just behind Harvison’s winning time of 11.53.

Forks will head to the Bellevue Christian Invite at Sammamish on Saturday.
