Tracksters roll to Mac-Hi for big border meet

Teams in the SE track loop headed south last Wednesday to Shockman Field in Milton-Freewater to test their track skills with host McLoughlin High in what became a cross-state meet.

The Mac High hosts placed second on both sides of the meet behind the SE power teams, the Asotin Girls and the Waitsburg/Prescott boys. The Cardinals posted a slim 12-point edge over the hosts, but Asotin girls dominated.

Among top performers for county tracksters were the SJELW 4 X 200 girls relay team which won on a clock of 2:02.97 with Gail Harder, Rachel Gfeller, Shania Bailey and Annie Fleming. Gfeller alo won the triple jump and Annie Bailey won the javelin throw for the Eagales.

Olivia Pakootas and Courtenay Perry booked a one-two finish for Tekoa/Oakesdale/Rosalia in the 1600.

Darcy Stamper cleared 6-2 for SJELW in the high jump and placed second in the long jump.
