SHORELINE — Sidney Trinidad was just a few months old when Arlington’s Cambrielle Jensen set the Class 3A District 1 meet record in the 100-meter hurdles in 1999.
On Friday, Trinidad, herself now a senior hurdler for the Eagles, broke Jensen’s meet record as she established a new mark by finishing the hurdles in 14.65 seconds. Trinidad later completed the hurdles sweep by claiming the 300 hurdles in 44.30.
“They were both exciting,” Trinidad said. “It’s just really fun to come out here and race. It’s nice setting a personal record and seeing myself improve.”
Still on docket is Jensen’s school record of 14.56 that Trinidad hopes to break next week.
“I’m hoping I can beat that at state because it’s really cool to leave a legacy at Arlington,” Trinidad said, prior to running the third leg for the Eagles in the 1,600-meter relay. “This isn’t a warmup, but it’s proceeding me to the main event because I really want to go to state and take my teammates with me in the four-by-four.”
She will indeed be joined by her teammates as the Arlington girls finished third in the race to qualify for state.
The Edmonds-Woodway girls earned the team title with 116 points to out-pace second-place Shorecrest (88) and Arlington (72).
On the boys’ side, Arlington won the team title with 103.5 points. Shorecrest was second with 82 and Edmonds-Woodway was third with 78 points.
Aaron Richardson of Edmonds-Woodway was another double-winner as he took the 110 hurdles in 14.92 and completed the sweep by taking the 300 hurdles in 40.09. It’s a feat he also accomplished at last week’s Wesco South meet.
“Now I’m going off to state as a No. 1 seed and it means a lot,” Richardson said. “Last year I barely made it into state in the qualifying times, so it feels really great to qualify being on top.”
A junior, Richardson is counting on the experience of last year’s state meet to help him next weekend.
“Now I’ve got a lot more experience in the hurdles,” he said. “Last year I had a tough time at state so coming into state this year I’m going to come in hard.”
The meet didn’t end until about 9:40 p.m. because the Games Committee agreed to have the teams re-run the 1,600-meter relay after meet officials saw a foul on the back stretch.
