SPOKANE — Sequim graduate Jayson Brocklesby led Olympic College to fifth place in the team competition at the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) Track and Field Championships.
The event was held Monday and Tuesday at Spokane Falls Community College.
“This is the best finish by the men since the team was revived five years ago,” Olympic coach Dan Dittmer said.
Brocklesby was named co-Male Track Athlete of the Meet and earned the high point title for the men with 32.25 points.
Individually, Brocklesby finished third in the high jump and 400-meter run, fifth in the long jump, sixth in the 400 intermediate hurdles and seventh in the 200.
He also ran as anchor on the sixth-place 4×100 relay and seventh-place 4×400 team.
“Jayson finishes his Olympic College track and field career with six All American titles in three different events, the high jump, 400 and decathlon,” Dittmer said.
Port Angeles graduate Jolene Millsap earned four fourth place medals in the 100, 200, 4×100, and 4×400 races.
Sequim’s Hannah Hudson teamed with Millsap on the relay races for the Rangers, with each relay setting season records.
The 4×100 relay team just missed out on a first place finish.
“The 4×100 [finished] in 48.90 [seconds] in a race that saw the top four teams finish just two tenths of a second apart,” Dittmer said.
“The 4×400 team had a five-second [record] running in 4:01.80.
“Hannah led off with a 60.6 split and Jolene anchored with a 57.7 split.
“Jolene also PR’d in the 200 with a 25.86. The Ranger women took sixth place, best since the team was revived.”
