Asotin bounces back in final SE track round

Asotin’s girls bounced back last Wednesday, May 2, to take the last SE track round before the district qualifier. The Panthers rolled up 158 points at Clarkston High for a big win over SJE-LW, their league foe.

On the boys side, Waitsburg/Prescott again demonstrated their track prowess by rolling out 185 points, more than double the tally booked by number-two DeSales.

SJE-LW had event wins with Heather Siegel in the 3200, Annie Bailey with a 106-7 in the javelin, and Gretchen Van Lith with a 16-4 in the long jump. The TOR 4 X 400 relay team also took a win.

GP’s Anthony Floyd took the javelin with a 142-5, and Jeff Kent, who battled WP’s James Thompkins in the sprints, won the pole vault at 10-0. SJE-LW’s Darcy Stamper cleared 6-2 for a win in the high jump.

Kaleb Simon picked up another win in the triple at 41-4 and placed second in the long jump.

The SE schools will return to Clarkston May 17 for the first day of the two-day district qualification rounds.
