Thursday afternoon was the perfect day for an outdoor track meet. Of course, that statement is full of sarcasm. The track meet was cold, rainy, windy and miserable.
That didn't stop a number of Wildcats from excelling in both running and field events.
Oak Harbor girls won a total of six events: Christina Alexander in the 200m dash, Christina Wicker in the 400m dash, Raeanna Wynne in both the 100 and 300m hurdles, the girls 4x200m relay (Irysh Concepcion, Kelsey Johnson, Molly Nordquist and Lizzy Chase) and Dominique Jackson in the discus.

Sierra Seabolt, Dejsha Lollar, Christina Alexander and Jessica Hollins teamed up to finish 2nd in the 4x100 relay while Laiblin, Hollins, Wicker and Hannah Bressler were 3rd in the 4x400m relay.
In field events, Jackson was 3rd in the shot put and Ciera Wiser 2nd in javelin.
The boys won 8 events, capturing all but one of the straight running events and all of the distance events. Winners were: Cody Hernkind in the 100m dash, Josiah Miller in the 200, Josh Schrum in the 800, Matt Reith in the 1600 and John Rodeheffer in the 3200. It was a very close finish in the 2-mile, with Rodeheffer passing Reith in the final 50 meters to win the race.
Carlton Johnson, Hernkind, Sheyenne Sams and Miller won the 4x100m relay, Dayne Herron got the shot put and Josh McVey the pole vault.
Other top 3 finishers were Chris Opdyke 3rd in the 300m dash, Cody Sanders 2nd in the 100m hurdles, Patrick Mayer 2nd in the 300m hurles, and the boys 4x400 meter relay (3rd). That relay team consisted of Dejon Devroe, Chris Opdyke, Connor Meyer and Miller.

Track and Field 4/26, 4/29 and 4/30
It was a very busy week for the Oak Harbor track team as they participated in a total of 3 meets during the week, including back-to-back meets on Thursday and Friday.
The week started with a JV/All-comers meet at Stanwood HS. It was a cool day and towards the end started to rain steadily, but all the athletes enjoyed themselves and worked hard. Results have not been posted so are not available.
150 photos from the meet are posted HERE.
Thursday saw the last regular season track meet of the year with the Wildcats traveling to Everett Memorial Stadium to take on Everett and Marysville. Since most athletes would be competing again the next day, the coaches limited them to just 2 events each, resulting in a lower overall point score than OH would normally get.
Starting with the boys, there was only one OH winner for the day and that was senior Donovan Hunt in the long jump, but there were a number of 2nd place finishers. Josiah Miller was 2nd in the 100m dash, Matt Reith in the 800, Josh Sayre was 2nd in the 300m hurdles, Josh Higbee in the Long Jump and Andy Haag in the triple jump. Hunt is currently has the 14th best long jump in the state in 4A.
In addition to the top finishes above, 13 Wildcat boys set new season or personal records in a variety of events.
Cody Hernkind set a PR in the high jump of 5-4 on his way to a 3rd place finish. Jalen Williams finished just out of the top 10 in the 200m dash but set a PR of 25.51. Jeshaiah Davis set two PRs on the day, running 25.74 in the 200 and 58.03 in the 400. Matt Reith ran the 800 in 2L08.55 and Conner Meyers also set a PR in the race of 2:16.11
Both runners in the 1600 had season bests. Nate Miller had his best time this season with a 5:15.25 and Lucas Salmons set a PR with a 5:17.49.
In field events, Javon Payne threw the javelin 128-8, Dakota Sinchak hit 106-6 and Zach Wallace 99-1. All 3 were all-time bests.
As mentioned above, Josh Higbee was 2nd in the long jump and did it with a leap of 19-9.75, over a foot further than his previous best. In the triple jump it was Andy Hagg with a 38-4.5, nearly a 1-foot PR, and Chase Edwards jumped 33-1.5 for 8th place.
Overall the boys finished 3rd in the 3-way meet with 26 points.
The girls won 8 events and finished 3rd or better in 8. There was a 1-2-3 finish for OH in the 1600 and a 1-2 finish in the long jump. OH winners were Shantae Young in the 100m dash, Naomi Walker in the 200, Addy Royal in the 1600, Allison Duvenez in the 100 hurdles, the OH 4x100 relay, Amanda Alvarado in the shot put, Elizabeth Adkins in the discus and Nicki Mowbray in the long jump. Finishing in second place were the 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams, Dominique Jackson in the discus, Janessa Ramos in the long jump and Mowbray in the triple jump.
16 athletes set season or personal records during the meet: Jalani Bobo ran the 100 in 14.16 and ran the 400 for the first time this season and finished 4th. Jember Jansen set a PR in the 200 of 28.82 and was just .01 second from a PR in the 100 as well. Aimee Kelly ran the 400 for the first time and set a PR by nearly a half-second in the 100m dash. Maura McKole finished 4th in the 200 with a season best 28.19. Also running her first 400 ever was Kelsey Johnson who finished in 5th place. The two Hannahs, Bressler and Kagey, both set PRs in the 1600. In the hurdles races, Megan Duhrkopf broke her PR in the 100 with a time of 19.61 and Shannon Wolfe ran the 300 in 58.03, knocking over a second off her previous best.
In field events, freshman Elizabeth Adkins broke her old PR by nearly 7 feet in the discus and Nicki Mowbray got 33-6 in the triple jump on her way to a 2nd place finish.
The girls didn't win the meet, but came in 2nd with 65 points. MP won with 77 and Everett was 3rd with 43 points.
122 photos from both boys and girls events at Everett are posted HERE.
Finally, Friday evening was meet at Mt. Vernon High School, the "Clash of the Counties". The meet featured a number of Skagit County 2A and 3A schools going up against Marysville, Stanwood and Arlington from Snohomish County and Oak Harbor. While the small schools won some events, the depth of the big schools carried the day. In individual team scoring, the OH girls won by one point over Arlington, 35-34 while on the boys side M-P won with 35 points and OH was 7th with 14.
As is the current pattern, Naomi Walker won the 100 and 200, Addy Royal the 1600 and Shante Young the triple jump. The OH girls also won the 4x100 relay race. On the boys side, only Donovan Hunt was a winner, leaping 21-1-75 in the long jump. One surprise is that Young did not win the long jump - the only time this year she hasn't taken the event.
There was a scary moment in the 300 hurdles race when Allison Duvenez caught her knee on the final hurdle and fell down. She got up and finished the race, earning 4th place, but found out later she broke a bone in her wrist. It's unknown at this time if she'll be able to compete in the WESCO championships.
Even though it was cool and started to rain near the end of the meet, there were a number of PRs set. Raeanna Wynne did well in the 100h and both Hannah's set PRs, but this time it was Bressler in the 800 and Kagey in the 1600. Hannah K. broke the 6-minute barrier for the first time in the mile with a 5:59.2. Also in the 800, Christina Wicker set a PR of 2:33.61, good enough for 8th place.
Over on the boys side, Hunt again was the only winner, taking the long jump and OH produced only three 2nd place finishers - Matt Bolte in the 800, Hunt in the triple jump and the 4x100 relay. Even though Matt finished 2nd in the 800, he was surrounded by his teammates and the coaches were literally jumping for joy as Matt broke the 2-minute barrier and broke it big, finishing in 1:57.57. With Matt in the 800 were Conner Meyer and Josh Crebbin who both set new PRs. Continuing the theme of distance PRs, Matt Reith set a PR in the 3200 and tied his 1600 PR, Nate Miller set season records in both the 1600 and 3200 and Lucas Salmons ran the 3200 in 11:31 for a PR.

Next up for track is the WESCO Freshman invite Tuesday at Mariner HS and the WESCO JV championships Wednesday at Snohomish HS. The WESCO North championships start on Wednesday, May 12th and finish on Friday the 14th at Arlington HS.
Currently, Naomi Walker had the 5th fastest time in the state in the 100 meter dash with a time of 12.32 seconds. The best time in the state so far is 12.13. Walker's time is the 4th best in 4A and her 200 meter dash time is 7th in 4A. The OHHS 4x100 relay time's best time of 49.74 puts them in 7th place. Shantae Young owns the long jump in Washington state this year. Her jump of 18-3.5 is the best in the state this year by 1.5 inches and her triple jump of 37-0.5 is 3rd best in the state and her 100m time is good enough for 13th in 4A. Allison Duvenez has the 20th best mark in the 300m hurdles in 4A
Matt Bolte has the 20th best 800 meter time in 4A and Donovan Hunt is tied with two others for 14th in the long jump.

Catchin up with the OHHS track team
The OHHS track team has been busy and successful these past two weeks.
After the spring break, the varsity team traveled down to Everett for a meet at Mariner High School. If you all remember, it was the day of the storm that produced some 50 mph gusts here on Whidbey Island. As a result, there weren't a lot of new personal records set that day.
There were a lot of wins by Oak Harbor athletes, though.
Going with the girls first, Wildcat women captured 5 of the top 7 places in the 100, 4 of the top 5 in the 200, the top 3 in the 400 and the top 5 in the 800, javelin and long jump and overall won every event except for one, and in that event got 2nd place. When it was all over, the OH girls dominated with 123 points. Mariner was 2nd with 36 and Meadowdale 26.
OH winners were - Naomi Walker (100, 200), Maura McKole (400), Addy Royal (800, 1600), Abby Leete (3200), Allison Duvenez (100 and 300 hurdles), Amanda Alvarado (shot put), Nicki Mowbray (javelin and high jump) and Shantae Young (long and triple jumps). The winning 4x100 relay team was made up of Walker, Young, Christina Alexander and Janessa Ramos, the 4x200 team featured Duvenez, McKole, Katelyn Bristow and Janelle Yoshimoto. In the 4x400 race it was McKole, Duvenez, Royal and Leete.
While the boys weren't quite a successful, they did get a total of four 1st place finishes. Donovan Hunt, back from an injury, won the 100 and long jump, Matt Bolte the 400, and Derrick Clarit the triple jump. There were seven 2nd place finishes as well - Jason Curles in the 200, Chris Opdyke in the 400, Javon Payne in shot put, Clarit in long jump and Andy Haag in triple jump. The 4x100 relay team (Hunt, Curles, Aaron Boesch and Justin Everett) and 4x400 team (Opdyle, Curles, Bolte and Josh Sayre) each earned 2nd place finishes.
On Monday a JV/All-comers meet was held at Snohomish HS. Complete results aren't available at athletic.net (not all the participating school posted results), but the Wildcats did well. On the boys side, Jalen Williams is at the top of the 200m JV race with a time of 25.6 and Josh Crebbin is at the top of the JV 1600m results with a 5:32 (his personal best). In the JV long jump results, list has 7 Wildcats in a row, led by Spencer Matthews who jumped 16-2. Also on that list were Sam Collins, Ian Sinchak, Jalen Williams, Dustyn Bull, Jel Atienza and Brylle Baranda. Bull and Sinchak also are on the JV triple jump list, but that event was headed by Cody Hernkind.
The JV girls team is much smaller than the boys but also had several JV winners. Jalani Bobo topped the 200m, which was an OH sweep. She was followed by Jember Jansen, Ciera Wiser, Brianna Quinn, Chylan Bass, O'Jinae Welch, Melinda Kelly and Bet Riba. Jansen also picked up a win in the 400m dash and Emily Bain captured the 800m JV title. Danielle Teasley put her shot 24 feet 8 inches, winning the JV event and setting a new PR. Wiser threw her javelin 81-6 and Chylan Bass jumped 28-7.25 in the triple jump to post the best JV mark in those events.
On Thursday the 15th, on a absolutely beautiful day for track, OH hosted Snohomish and Lake Stevens at Wildcat Memorial Stadium. As a result there were 40 new personal records (PRs) set by OHHS athletes.
Going with the boys first, Donovan Hunt had to squeak out a win in the 100 meter dash, beating Lake Stevens' Tyler Reside by .01 second. Jason Curles was 3rd with a time of 12.0
Curles went on to earn 3rd place in the 2oo, and although they didn't finish in the top 10, Cody Hernkind, Noel Cheeseboro, Jeshaiah Davis and Ian Sinchak, along with Curles, all set new personal records in that event.
Matt Bolte won the 400, Chris Opdyke was 4th and 8th place Conner Meyer set a new PR.

Track 5-15 - WESCO League championships
The 2009 WESCO North track championships were held at OHHS on Wednesday and Friday, May 13th and 15th.
Friday saw finals in all the sprint races, along with a number of other events. When all was said and done, only one Wildcat was crowned league champion.
Junior Shantae Young won the 100m dash in convincing fashion, beating her opponent by over a tenth of a second. It was somewhat of an unusual race in that only 2 of the 8 runners were seniors. There were two sophomores and even a freshman in the race. Shantae’s time of 12.79 was a new personal best for her. She was equally dominant in the triple jump where she leaped 36-2.5, over a foot further than her nearest competitor. Shantae also finished 2nd in the long jump.
For the boys, the top competitor was Stephen Lewis. He was fighting off some illness and finished 2nd in the 100m and 3rd in the 200, but will be moving on to the district meet.
Other top 3 finishers were:
Greg Goebel – triple jump – 3rd
Adrianna Royal – 800m – 2nd
Allison Duvenez – 300m hurdles – 2nd
Girls 4x100 relay – 3rd
Complete results can be found HERE.
