The Sisters athletes jumped, threw and ran at the OSAA Championships held Friday and Saturday, May 20-21 at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. T.J. Hooks got the medal collection underway Friday with a personal best in the 3,000 meters, where he fin- ished sixth in 9:11.67. “T.J. ran bravely, as usual,” said head Coach Jeff Larson. The only other Friday final resulted in a 15th-place finish in the long jump (14 feet even) for Erynn Ricker who never approached her season best of 16 feet 5 inches. Julianne Meeter also struggled a bit, placing 13th in the javelin with a throw of 101 feet 6 inches which was about 14 feet shy of her best for the season. “Those sorts of things happen at State, but both girls should have another oppor- tunity next season in those events,” said Larson. Saturday was a much bus- ier day for the Outlaws, start- ing with Ricker and Tessa O’Hern competing in the pole vault. Ricker came through with a season best of 10 feet even to place fourth, just 6 inches away from the first- place finisher. Tessa O’Hern cleared 9 feet 1/4 inch, miss- ing a medal based on misses as six girls cleared the same height. “Tessa did a good job of clearing a very tough open- ing height on which five or six other girls failed,” said Larson. The speedy quartet of S a b r i n a R e i f s c h n e i d e r, Ricker, Michaela Miller and Mandi Calavan whisked the baton around the oval in a season best time of 50.61 sec- onds to finish fourth. Jadon Bachtold knew there was no clear favorite in the 1,500 and he ran to win, taking the lead in the final lap before being overcome by a photo by Jerry baLdoCK Jadon Bachtold took second in 1,500 at Hayward Field.

Ricker returned to the track for the 100 meters and ran an all-time best of 12.80 seconds to finish fourth in a very fast field. “Erynn had a great Saturday after struggling a bit the day before, and shows that she has what it takes to move up on the podium in the years to come,” said Larson of his sophomore star. Sabrina Reifschneider and Michaela Miller started side by side in the 100-meter hur- dles, but Reifschneider ran a lifetime best of 16.00 seconds to finish fourth, while Miller finished seventh in 16.39. Miller picked up her third medal of the meet later in the afternoon in the 300 hurdles with another seventh-place finish in 48.83 seconds. “Michaela topped off a wonderful high school career,” said Larson. “She will be greatly missed. Four trips to the state meet and numerous all-state perfor- mances is something that you just can’t easily replace.” Keegan Greaney polished off a fine hurdling season of WWW.SISTERS MOVIEHOUSE.COM 541-549-8800 Angeline’s Bakery FESTIVE FRIDAY SERIES. . .
