Sequim’s track and field continued winning events while setting personal records in Bremerton for the West Central District 3 tournament last week.

Sophomore Clare Turella won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 3 inches, a season record for her, to qualify for the state 2A meet set to begin Thursday, May 29 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

Turella’s high jump was the fifth-best in the state and three inches off the top height.

She won state as a freshman last year with a 5-3 jump. Turella also set a personal record in the long jump with a ninth place leap of 15-7.

Sequim senior Dawn Hulstedt, who competed last year at state, qualified once again. She finished the 800-meters-race in 2 minutes, 18.81 seconds for a second place finish, and fourth in the 1600-meters (5:20.02). Hulstedt also set a personal record in the 400-meters finishing seventh (1:01.84).

The Sequim 4×200 girls relay team of Birdie Pyeatt, Kylie Peters, Hulstedt and Ruby Moxley-Horgan finished second with a time of 1:49.86 to also qualify for state.

For the boys, sophomore Reid Randall placed third with a personal record to qualify for state in the 400-meters (50.27). He also set a PR in the 800 meters to finish seventh (1:59.38).

Sequim’s Sean Southard also qualified for a return trip to state by finishing fourth in the javelin with a throw of 154-6, a season record.

The girls’ 4×100 relay (Pyeatt, Peters, Stella Dennis, Hailey Wagner) almost qualified for state finishing in fifth place (52.24). Dennis, a freshman, also finished ninth in the 100-meter-hurdles (17.90).

The boys’ 4×400 relay finished sixth (3:32.52) with Randall, Adrian Osborne, Westley French and Gavin Tupper.
