The competition at this year’s state 1B/2B/1A track and field championships in Cheney proved to be as stiff as its ever been for Klickitat County athletes.
Only Brandon Montoya, of Lyle/Wishram, won an individual title at the 2017 small-school meet at Eastern Washington University.
In fact, the L/W freshman phenom won two events and finished second in a third during his state debut last weekend.
Montoya won the 2B boys 200-meter dash on Saturday in a personal-record time of 22 seconds flat, after finishing second earlier in the day in the 100 final. (The Cougar sprinter set a PR of 10.89 in winning his 100 qualifying heat on Friday.)
Montoya placed first in Friday’s long jump competition with a PR mark of 22 feet, 2.25 inches.
L/W senior Alex Cloud picked up her third state javelin medal overall last Saturday when she placed sixth in the 2B girls javelin with a throw of 120-6. Cloud earned her previous medals in the 1B class.
L/W sophomore Sydney Rains set a PR of 16.88 in placing ninth in her heat of the 2B girls 100 hurdles.
