Mead Boys and Bellarmine Prep Girls Win Washington State Track Championships

Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley

Mead High School of Spokane, a legendary distance-running powerhouse, found a new way to win another title at the 2009 Washington State Track & Field Meet at Mount Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma (WA) in late May.

The Panthers had exactly one individual champion—Keith Webber in the pole vault—but managed to score points in the hurdles and field events to earn 49 points and the 4A big school title.

Bellarmine's Sarah Hartwell, Shaquana Logan, Midori Starks and Kelly Jacka won both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays, Jacka also won the 200 and Logan won the 100 hurdles to carry Bellarmine Prep to the Girls' 4A title with 56 points.

In the boys 3A competition, Andrew Kimpel led North Central to the title by winning the 3200 in 9:08.39. North Central's Ben Johnson was 2nd in the 3200, and North Central finished 2-3-4 in the 1600 with Kimpel, Leon Dean and Johnson. That is called depth in the distance, and led to a state title for the Indians of Spokane.

Rainier Beach High School clobbered the competition to win the girls' 3A championship with 65 points. The Vikings' Dyneeca Adams won the 400 in 56.89, Ariele Reeves won the 300 hurdles in 43.60 and both Adams and Reeves joined Charnay Combs and Ta Pri Nelthrope in winning both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays. The 4 x 200 effort of 1:39.49 established a new state meet record.

Lynden set a new state meet record in the 4 x 400 boys' 2A competition to win the title with 45 points.

The grils' 2A meet was all about freshman Cherish Morrison of Blaine. All Morrison did was win the 100, 200 and 400, setting a new state record in the 400 with a 57.28, and then anchoring Blaine's winning 4 x 200 relay team. She was the only competitor among 6 different divisions to win 4 events.
