Two North Olympic Peninsula high school track and field athletes rank first in their classifications heading into this week’s district championships.
Sequim senior runner Waverly Shreffler has Class 2A’s best time in the girls 800-meter run. She ran the event in 2 minutes, 19.40 seconds at the Shelton Invitational last month. That time is nearly a second faster than the next-best time, the 2:20.55 achieved by Grace Oswin of Squalicum over the weekend.
Clallam Bay freshman Clayton Willis is tied for the best boys long jump in Class 1B. He jumped 20-03 in Port Angeles on March 31.
Klickitat’s Easton Atchley reached that same mark last month.
Crescent junior Jakob Baillargeon is ranked third at 20-01.5. His mark came at the same meet as Willis’.
Willis had three other top-10 1B rankings: sixth in triple jump, ninth in 400 and tied for ninth in the long jump.
Sequim senior Oscar Herrera sits second in the boys 2A 300 hurdles and third in the 110 hurdles.
Port Townsend freshman Aubry Botkin ranks second in the Class 1A girls 100 hurdles with the 15.21-second time she achieved over the weekend at the Olympic League 1A Subdistrict championships.
The Peninsula’s final state top-three belongs to the Clallam Bay girls’ 4×100 relay. Atokena Abe, Molly McCoy, Miriam Wonderly and Jennica Maines ran the classification’s third-best time at the North Olympic League Subdistrict Championships last week.
