ATHLETES ELSEWHERE: Sequim graduate Catelli wins for University of Washington track and field team

SEATTLE — Sequim High School alumnus Frank Catelli won one event and had a season-best in another at the Ken Shannon Invitational at Husky Track.

Catelli, a senior thrower for the University of Washington track and field team, placed first in the shot put with a distance of 59 feet, 4.75 inches Saturday, April 30.

He also had his best discus throw of the season, 167-11.

Last month, Catelli, a 2012 Sequim graduate, became the first Washington Husky since 2000 to throw the shot put farther than 60 feet when he achieved a 60-03.25 at the Pepsi Team Invite in Eugene, Ore.
