BELLINGHAM — Port Townsend’s Seren Dances set a personal record and won the boys triple jump against strong competition at the Birger Solberg Invitational at Civic Stadium.
“We had many good performances, but the highlight was certainly Seren Dances winning the triple jump with a [Class] 1A state-leading mark of 43 feet, 4 inches,” Redhawks coach Ian Fraser said.
Dances still sits third in the triple jump in the all-time Port Townsend record books behind Bryan Johnson (44-11.5 in 1983) and Skyler Coppenrath (44-6.5 in 2014).
Dances led a small group of Redhawks wrapping up their spring break by competing in the event.
Koby Weidner was another bright spot for the Port Townsend boys, finishing fourth in the 200-meter sprint with a time of 23.32 seconds.
Aubry Botkin finished fourth in the high jump after clearing 4-10 to lead the Redhawks’ girls.
Fraser said it was an improvement of 4 inches on Botkin’s previous personal best mark.
