Senior Danielle Clauson set a 1A tri-district meet record in the javelin and qualified for state in three events to lead the King’s girls to their 13th consecutive district title May 18-19 at Woolsey Stadium.
The King’s boys, led by Josh Fuller’s victories in the 100, 200 and 400 meters and his contribution in the winning 1,600 relay, won their seventh straight district title.
Twelve King’s boys athletes and 14 King’s girl athletes will represent the Knights at the state 1A meet May 25-26 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. The top five girls and top four boys in each event moved on from the tri-district meet to state.
The King’s boys team has a shot to win the team title with Zillah another favorite, King’s coach Daunte Gouge said.
