Three area champs at 2A district meet
BREMERTON — Port Angeles’ Jacob Kennedy and Sequim’s Waverly Shreffler and Oscar Herrera won titles at the Class 2A District 2/3 Championships at Bremerton High School.
Herrera’s races in the hurdles were essentially previews of his upcoming state meet showdowns with River Ridge’s Josh Braverman, who holds the top times this season in the boys 110- and 300-meter hurdles. Herrera, meanwhile, ranks second in the 300 and third in the 110.
Braverman took first Saturday in the 110 hurdles, beating Herrera 14.21 seconds to 14.68.
Herrera returned the favor in the 300 hurdles, winning 38.35 seconds to Braverman’s 38.56.
Shreffler took first in the girls 800-meter run, finishing in 2:21.99. Teammate Audrey Shingleton placed second.
Kennedy won the shot put with a throw of 49 feet, 9 inches, which beats his previous best in the event by more than 4 feet.
The top six placers in each event at districts qualify for the 2A state meet this Thursday through Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.
Port Angeles is sending four individuals to state, including Gracie Long, who qualified in three events, the 1,600, 3,200 and high jump.
