WHITE SALMON — Columbia High’s Sara Miller recorded a 100-400-200 sweep Saturday at the Jeff Agar Memorial track and field meet in Trout Lake, all after starting the day by running a leg on the Bruins’ first-place 4x100 meter relay.
Miller took advantage of a tailwind to run a personal best 12.64 seconds in the 100. Twenty minutes later she gutted out a PR 1:01.15 in the 400. Miller capped her day with a 26.31 season best in the 200. All that after she and teammates Sequoia Cohen, Saylor Hauge, and Willow Cohen ran the 4x100 in a near season best 51.72, which is the No. 7 clocking on the school’s all-time list (since 2000). Hauge also won two events of her own, running the 300-meter hurdles in 47.2 and clearing 5-foot-2 to lead teammate Samatha Evans (5-0) in the high jump. Earlier in the week, Hauge had won the 300 hurdles race in a league meet in a lifetime best of 46.90. That was nearly three seconds faster than she ran at the 2024 WIAA state meet last spring and the fastest time in Columbia High school history.
Also at Trout Lake, Willow Cohen had a two-PR day with her 13.79 100 and 29.13 200. Sequoia Cohen raced to a personal best 17.75 in the 100 hurdles.
The Bruins’ other wins on the girls side came from distance runners Lilah Zimmerman, who led her teammates to a 1-2-4 finish in the 1500, and Helen Hoskins, who won the 3000 meters in a PR 11:50.72. Zimmerman’s 1500 time of 5:22.68 was a season best; Hoskins was second at 5:26.24 (PR); and Maisy Kollman third at 5:45.2 (PR).
Columbia won two events on the boys side: frosh Jaime Perez soared a PR 18-6.75 to win the long jump; and junior Nathan Breedlove won the 400 meters in 56.06 seconds. Also of note for the Bruins was Hunter Wang’s PR 43.92 (PR) 300 hurdle finish and Aiden Hainline’s PR 17.72 in the 110 hurdles. Junior thrower Ezekiel Wilson Ramirez was second in the discus (season best 115-6) and fourth in the shot put (season best 36-9.5).
Columbia also competed on April 23 at a Trico League meet it host in White Salmon. Jack Brooks and Ethan Hayes went 1-2 in the boys 1600; Wang and Hainline won the 300 hurdles and 110 hurdles, respectively; and Perez cleared 5-6 in the high jump.
The girls high jump turned out to be a featured event, as Evans, Hauge and Hailey Tolbert finished 1-2-3. Evans cleared a personal best and tied the school record with her 5-4 jump. Hauge was second in a PR 5-3, and Tolbert third in a season best 4-8.
Tolbert, Mariela Casarez and Sequoia Cohen went 1-2-3 in the 100 hurdles, in addition to Hauge’s record-setting 300 hurdle mark.
Columbia girls swept the girls distance races, as Olivia Allen won the 800 in 2:41.94; Zimmerman won the 1600 in 5:46.22; and Hoskins won the 3200 in a PR 12:58.18. Miller, Sequoia Cohen, Hauge, and Willow Cohen ran the 4x100 in 51.88, and Miller followed up that win with first-place finishes in both the 100 and 200.
