Kamiak finishes 8th at boys-only Shoreline Invite

SHORELINE – At what is billed as the largest all-boys track invitational in the Pacific Northwest, Vancouver’s Evergreen High notched 64 points to garner the team title at the Shoreline Invite Saturday. Kentwood (54.5 points) and Sehome (47) finished well behind the Plainsmen.

In a welcome reversal of fortune from last year’s torrential daylong downpour, milder temperatures and dry skies ruled the day as 69 teams and 845 athletes competed at the 20th annual event held at Shoreline Stadium.

“The kids are real excited to have such a great day to jump this year,” said Kamiak’s jumps coach Jill Mayer, echoing the opinions of many at the packed stadium.

In the high jump, a trio of highly touted Wesco South leapers cleared the six-foot mark, only to watch Inglemoor’s Dorian Dolleman register an impressive 6-foot, 6-inch jump.

Mariner’s Adrien Black (6-4) and Edmonds-Woodway’s Eric Greenwood (6-2) placed third and fourth respectively.

Kamiak senior Jesse Swarthout, fresh off the heels of a school record-tying leap of 6-2 on Thursday night, maxed out at 6-0 to finish 11th.

“I felt pretty good out there today,” said Swarthout. “The weather was better, so we had some good jumping positions. But I was a little tired, a little sore.”

The local squads fared well, with three Wesco schools (Kamiak, Jackson, Mariner) finishing in the top 13.

The “track” athlete of the meet was Seattle Prep’s Max O’Donahue-McDonald. The Panther star ran the state’s best time in the 3,200 this year, breaking the meet record with a time of 8:59.73.

The “field” athlete honors went to Sehome’s Steven Ayers, who won both the shot put (62-6) and the discus (168-9), earning 20 points all on his own for the Mariners.

Other double-winners included Ryan Hamilton of Evergreen, who took both the 100- and 200- meter dashes, and Garfield’s Stephone Jordan the state’s top-ranked hurdler, who won both the 110- and 300-meter hurdles.

Kamiak’s Sean Beigton vaulted 15 feet to tie for second in the pole vault and help lead the Knights to an eighth-place showing with 26 points. Teammate Colin Logue ran the 400 in 50.03 seconds to place fourth and fellow Knight Sean Bucy earned a third in the javelin with a toss of 165 feet, 6 inches.

Jackson’s 12th-place finish was highlighted by Mitchell Briggs, who finished second in the rarely-scored freshman/sophomore 1,600 run with a time of 4:28.48. Ali Al-Hussaini also earned points for the T-Wolves finishing fifth in the 300-meter hurdles.

In addition to Black’s third in the high jump, Dak Riek ran the 3,200 in 9:04.49, also good for third as the Marauders’ 20 points earned them 13th place.

Shorecrest sprinter Kevin Ramos scored all 8.5 of the Scots’ points with a fourth in the 200 and a fifth in the 100.
