Defending district champ Seagulls edge L. Stevens

LAKE STEVENS – A month ago, Lake Stevens invited the district champion Everett Seagulls to a season-opening meet. The result, an exciting match-up, an Everett victory (81-64) and a lot of turned heads.

“Jeff Page (Lake Stevens boys track coach) runs a quality program and a good meet,” said Everett coach Doug Hall. “It was a good meet, a big meet.”

Some of the top throwers in the state, Issac Hicks, Clint Osborn and Rick Gervasi (Osborn was second in the shot put and Gervasi was third in the javelin in the state meet last year) unleashed solid throws, with Gervasi breaking his own school record of 183 feet, 10 inches in the javelin with a throw of 188-7.

Cliff Chaffee, assistant coach for Lake Stevens, was out in the field when Gervasi made his record-breaking throw. “We were setting up some markers around 200 feet out and said, ‘Let’s see if one of our (Lake Stevens) kids gets close.’ Then all of a sudden, here comes the throw. It was one of their guys, but he was right on target.”

The Vikings out-jumped Everett in all but the pole vault. Stephen Graham leapt far ahead of his Lake Stevens teammates in the triple jump (41-11.25) and David McMurry outdistanced the rest of the field in the long jump (20-10)

Where the Vikings showed strength in the jumps, the Seagulls showed speed in the sprints.

“Our sprinters won it for us,” Hall said, highlighting the performances of seniors Reggie Gossett (400-meter run) and Justin Hudson (100 and 200).

“Lake Stevens is very tough in field events,” Hall continued. “A lot of teams are really good in one area. I think the key to our success is that we spread the wealth.”
