The Port Angeles girls finished second at the Olympic 2A Sub-District qualifying meet Saturday, while the Sequim boys finished third. The Port Angeles boys and Sequim girls each came in fifth. The North Kitsap boys and girls won both team titles.

Port Angeles’ Gracie Long won two events — the 1,600 and 3,200 meters — while Sequim’s Murray Bingham won the 800 meters and 1,600 meters, beating his teammate Alec Shingleton by less than two seconds in the 800. Murray’s sister, Morgan Bingham, finished second to Long in both the 1,600 and 3,200.

The two wins were Long’s 21st and 22nd first-place finishes this season individually and as a relay team member. Meanwhile, Murray Bingham racked up his 13th and 14th first-place finishes of the year.
