The Horizon Christian School boys track and field team finished fourth Thursday at the Life Christian Invitational in Aloha, and a select few athletes competed Saturday at the Meet of Champions in Salem.
On Thursday, the Hawks had a number of athletes who were competing in events for the first time this season – including some for the first time ever.
Three school records were set by Hawk boys: Salvador Ramirez finished third in the 400 meters in 54.46 seconds; Jony Nelson was third in the 800 in 2:13.9; and Ryan Aldrich won the shot put, improving his school record mark to 40 feet, 5.5 inches. Horizon’s 4x100 boys relay team (Aldrich, Jared Davis, Luke Holste, Mason Bloomster) won its race in a Class 1A state-leading 46.4.
On the girls side, the Hawk 4x400 relay improved the school record by 21 seconds; the team of Hannah Kempf, Miranda Roberts, Paulina Finn and Kloee Brown finished third in 4:43.4.
The Hawk 4x100 relay also set a new school mark of 57.04; the team consisted of Savanna Hawk, Brown, Finn and Kempf.
Kempf and Finn also had second-place individual finishes: Kempf was runner-up in the 200 in 28.5 seconds; Finn was second in the 300 hurdles (55.84).
On Saturday, six Horizon athletes competed at Willamette University in the Meet of Champions. Three set school records and registered lifetime bests: Kempf in the 400 (64.7); Aldrich in the discus (110-1) and Nelson in the 3000 (9:49.8). Brown also raced to a personal best in the 800 (2:51.6).
Horizon competes Friday with HRV and other teams at the annual Apple Blossom Invitational at Hood River Valley High School, which starts at 4 p.m.
