THE DALLES — The defending District 3-1A district meet champion Trout Lake girls kicked off their 2025 track and field season with four, first-place finishers at the 15-team, March 21 Mullen-Leavitt Invitational in The Dalles.
The wet, cold day didn’t damper the efforts of Violette Anderson, Jade Mclean, Cora Sharp, and Ellie Rubesh. Anderson won two events, the shot put (32 feet, 9 inches) and 100-meter hurdles (personal record 17.98 seconds). Mclean won the pole vault at 8-6, Sharp won the long jump at 15-10.5, and Rubesh won the triple jump at 29-11.25.
Teammate Melody Stock was second in both the 1500 (PR 5:12.47) and 800 (2:36.85).
The Mustangs also had two boys winners. Senior Sawyer Dean won the pole vault at 15 feet. The mark by the three-time defending state champion is the No. 2 best all-time for 1A vaulters. Teammate Jayden Kusky won the shot put at 44-11.
Among the other top three finishes from local small school athletes (by school):
Glenwood’s Shane Spino and Dufur’s Chase Richards, who went 2-3 in the boys 400.
Landon Whitaker and Charlie Haynie went 1-2 for Horizon Christian’s boys team in the 110 hurdles (PRs of 17.03 and 17.22). Senior Caleb Caldwell ran the 3000 in a PR 9:35.8 for third place for the Hawks. Senior Josiah Roberts was third in the discus at 108-11, and junior Xander Ives was third in the pole vault.
