Michael Davis turned in another record-setting performance at last weekend’s Cashmere Invitational.

The King’s sophomore registered the nation’s second-best reported javelin throw with his winning mark of 204 feet, 8 inches at the April 17 track and field meet.

According to rankings posted by www.dyestat.com and Track and Field News, the best high school throw in the nation this season is 205-5 by Chad Brown of Lake Charles, La.

Davis set meet and school records with his throw and surpassed his previous career-best mark of 195-9, set earlier this season. All six of his throws at Cashmere topped 191 feet and two went over 200.

“He’s got great technique … and with some of the stuff he’s doing workout-wise, he’s just getting stronger and stronger,” King’s coach Daunte Gouge said.

Davis now owns the top javelin mark in the state at any classification and is one of only two Washington athletes to eclipse 200 feet in the event.

“With the work he did in the offseason, the weight work and the training, we expected he’d have some decent marks,” Gouge said. “We were hoping for 200 this year.”

Under the right conditions, Gouge anticipates Davis will muster even longer distances.

“Everywhere we’ve been going we’ve had tailwinds,” Gouge said. “That’s not great for the jav; it kind of pushes it down. If we get him a nice headwind somewhere, he’s going to be looking to throw in the 220s.”

Davis was originally shooting for 200 feet by season’s end. Now he’s aiming for the No. 1 nationwide mark.

“I’m really surprised,” Davis said. “I’m already at where my goal was for the season.”

With six additional top-four showings, the King’s boys finished second in the team standings. Ephrata captured the title with 130.5 points, followed by King’s (78), Toppenish (77), Cashmere 73.5 and Cascade of Leavenworth (32).

Victor Quan placed second in the triple jump (39-8) and Calvin Fujii took second in the shot put (50-12) for the Knights. Ryan Dixon finished third in the 110-meter high hurdles (16.2 seconds) and Chris Faidley was fourth in the 300 hurdles (43.0).

Brent Woodham finished in the top six in the high jump, long jump and 3,000 meters and anchored the 1,600 relay team that took third. King’s was fourth in the 400 relay (46.5).

On the girls side, sophomore Sara Mosiman’s victories in the high jump (5 feet) and javelin (114-1) helped King’s claim the team title.

Breyanne Nordtvedt placed first in the triple jump (34-01/2), second in the 300 hurdles (49.1 seconds) and third in the 100 hurdles (16.8).

Chira Louie took second in the long jump (15-8), third in the 100 in a career-best time of 12.9 seconds and was a part of the 400 and 800 relay teams that finished third.

Melody Miles placed second in the 800 (2:29.0) and Heidi Peterson was fourth in the 3,000 (11:53.2).

Nordtvedt, Kristal Friar, Chelsea Snyder and Miles took first in the 1,600 relay. Their season-best time of 4:16.9 is the top 1A mark this spring.

King’s compiled 132 points to pull away from Cashmere (101.5), Ephrata (60.5), Castle Rock (50) and Toppenish (42).
