Sequim Middle School won both the boys and girls track and field titles at the North Olympic League Middle School League Championship.

Multiple runners and jumpers set personal bests on May 19 at Crescent High School with a few even tying or setting new Timberwolves records.

Eighth grader Carter Fenner threw 120-4 in the javelin for a personal best to take the school record and third place at the meet. Fellow eighth grader Will Brooks tied the school record to clear the high jump bar at 5-4 and set a personal record and win the event with teammates River Moxley-Horgan (5-2) and Brodie Chatski (5-2) taking second and third.

Eleanor Jones, an eighth grader, ran a personal record of 2:26.83 in the 800 meters to win the league championship and take the school record. She was also the anchor for the girls’ 4×400 relay team with Lucy Greenwalt, Nathalie Gomez, and Emme Henrikson to win the event and break SMS’ previous record going 4:43.87.

For team scores, the boys tallied 236 points and the girls 164 points.

Head coach Caleb Gentry said he’s most proud of the team’s hard work paying off.

“We peaked at the right time and showed real mental toughness,” he said. “Maintaining focus over an entire season, or even a single meet, isn’t easy, and our team met that challenge.”

Assistant coach Laura Gould said while the track season is short at only six weeks, Sequim’s athletes improved so much in that time.

“A lot of that improvement was just due to our athletes showing up every day and getting fit, but in events like the jumps and throws, they were constantly drilling and refining their techniques too,” she said.

“It is so fun as a coach to see our athletes putting in the work at practice, having a great attitude, and supporting one another, then watching all that pay off in the meets. It was a great season!”
