“The performance of the meet was by freshman Aubry Botkin in the 100-meter hurdles,” Port Townsend coach Ian Fraser said.

“She posted a good debut at the distance in our first meet in March, but had a lot of work to do on her hurdling.

“After working on learning the rhythm of the event for a few weeks, we let her race them again, and she showed that her work is paying off.”

The Redhawks’ other freshman phenom, Eileen Leoso, won the long jump (16-04.25) and the triple jump (33-05.25).

Leoso’s long jump mark is an 8-inch improvement over her previous best.

Botkin and Leoso teamed with Brenna Franklin and Ari Winter to take first in the 4×100 relay with a time of 53.44 seconds.

Shenoa Snyder also was a winner for the Redhawks with a discus throw of 96-07.

Gracie Long finished first in two events for Port Angeles. She won a showdown with Sequim’s Sheffler in the 1,600, winning with a time of 5:22.90, and her 4-foot, 10-inch high jump beat all competitors at Friday’s meet by at least 4 inches.

The Riders’ lone dual victory came against Coupevile by an 83-56 tally.

Oliver wins three

Oliver took first in three events for the Sequim boys: the 800 (2 minutes, 9.07 seconds), 1,600 (4:54.30) and high jump (6 feet).

Herrera continued to dominate the hurdles, taking the 110 in 15.68 seconds and the 300 in 43.21 seconds.

Sequim’s Logan Habner took first at Thursday’s meet in the 400 with a time of 55.10 seconds, and Wendall Lorenzen won the 3,200 with a 10.52.10.

Jason Springer, Curtis Gorr, Habner and Stoddard took first for the Wolves in the 4×400 relay, finishing in 3:44.10.

The Wolves defeated Coupeville 82-61, Port Angeles 85-49 and Port Townsend 93-47.

Koby Weidner won both sprints for Port Townsend, taking the 100 in 11.62 seconds and the 200 in 23.49 seconds.

He also ran the anchor leg of the Redhawks’ winning 4×100 relay, following Kyle Blankenship, Seren Dances and Carson Marx to post a time of 44.58 seconds, which ranks third in Class 1A this season.

Dances had pair of individual wins, in the long jump (20-03) and the triple jump (42-02).

Ari Athair won the pole vault for the Port Angeles with a height of 12 feet, and Jacob Kennedy threw a personal-best 43-04 in the shot put.

The Riders defeated Port Townsend 77-58, but lost to Coupeville 78-61.

The Redhawks also lost to Coupeville 68-57.
