Yearian, Botkin win for Port Townsend
BREMERTON — Wins in the boys javelin by River Yearian and the girls 100-meter hurdles by Aubry Botkin paced a depleted Redhawks team in an Olympic League dual.
An orchestra trip to San Francisco has many Port Townsend athletes out of town.

On the boys side, the Redhawks fell 71-47 to North Mason, 84-43 to Coupeville and 116-24 to Olympic.
Yearian, competing in his first track meet since his freshman year, added 35 feet to his personal best in the javelin, winning with a mark of 125 feet, 8 inches.
Botkin, a freshman, continued to improve in the hurdles.
“She won the 100 hurdles by a second-and-a-half into a headwind with a time of 16.41 seconds,” Redhawks coach Ian Fraser said.
“Aubry then came back to place second in the 300 hurdles in 49.53, taking nearly three seconds off of her best and giving her the No. 10 time in Class 1A this year.”
Port Townsend also enjoyed good performances in the boys 200 sprint.
Koby Weidner ran the event in under 23 seconds for the first time, finishing second with a time of 22.95 seconds that ranks Weidner fifth in 1A.
Seren Dances, running his first-ever 200, placed fourth with a 23.24 time, which is tied for eighth in 1A.
