Wednesday, April 28, 2021 Columbia Gorge News www.columbiagorgenews.com 15 SPORTS The Dalles, Hood River hook up in Redmond report ■ Staff Columbia Gorge News Gorge rivals The Dalles and Hood River Valley got their first look at each other this track and field season on April 21, when they con- verged on Redmond for a three-way meet with the host Panthers. The Dalles won the boys meet 59.5 to 55.5 over Redmond, while HRV was third with 40 points. Redmond, The Dalles and HRV finished in that order points-wise in the girls com- petition. It was Hood River’s first meet this spring, and the second for The Dalles. Notable meet highlights included the 100-meter win by The Dalles junior sprinter Jaxon Pullen. He spent the past few months running the fly sweep for the Riverhawk football team, but simply had to go straight ahead Wednesday — en route to a personal best of 11.34 seconds (which leads the IMC early in the season). Pullen also ran a leg on the Riverhawk first place 4 x 100 relay (46.45 seconds). HRV senior Michael Goodman — who lost a competitive high jump by one inch to Redmond’s Nathan Wachs — cleared a personal-best 6-foot-1 in the process. That was a five-inch PR from his sophomore year. Goodman also added almost a foot to his javelin best with his 158-7, first-place throw. HRV senior Josh Haynes and The Dalles sophomore Juan Diego Contreras en- gaged in a two-race distance duel. Contreras won the 1500 meters 4:08.37 to 4:16.02, but Haynes responded later in the meet to take the 800, 2:02.93 to 2:04.10. Both of Contreras’ times were per- sonal bests. The 1500 and 800 (both boys and girls) looked like reunions of the recent IMC district cross country meet, as the top eight fin- ishers dipped under 4:43 in the race. The state’s distance runners are clearly in race shape, having benefited from the back-to-back cross country and track and field seasons. Eight of the top 10 boys finishers registered per- sonal bests, including HRV’s Elliot Hawley who was third in each race (2:08.24/800 and 4:21.0/1500). Other boys winners includ- ed The Dalles junior Taylor Morehouse in the pole vault at 11-6 and HRV sophomore Shaw Burns, who leapt 19-7 in the long jump. In the girls meet, Emily Adams of The Dalles had a busy day, winning the 100 (13.26) and long jump, finishing second in the 200 by a tenth of a second and run- ning a leg on the Riverhawks’ second-place short relay. Adams edged teammate Zoe Dunn in a good long jump competition, 16-8.25 to 16-7. In a similar close finish, The Dalles senior Hannah Ziegenhagen edged HRV sophomore Phoebe Wood 2:39.96 to 2:40.24 in the 800. Ziegenhagen tuned up for the race with an open 400, then cooled down with a leg on the Riverhawk 4 X 400 relay at the end of the meet. Recent IMC cross country champion Chloe Bullock did some speed work at Redmond, winning the 1500 in a personal best 5:09.0 and then rested for some 20 minutes before running a PR 64.97-second 400 to win the one-lap race. Teammate Poppy Miller, the defending Class 5A state champion, cleared 10-feet to win the pole vault. high jump at 4-10, the 100 in 13.62 seconds and anchored the Rangers’ first place 4 x 100 relay (58.42). Junior teammate Ashley Bailey also was a double winner — in the shot put (29-3) and discus (80-0). Horizon senior Grace Schreiber won the high hurdles (18.88), lows (55.25) and anchored the Hawks’ winning 4 x 400 relay. On the boys side, Horizon won easily with 164 points. The Hawks had two double winners in Josiah Sohal (with personal bests in the 1500 and 800) and senior JJ Holste, who won the high jump at 5-6, and long jump at 18-2.5 — each a person- al best. Dufur sophomore Marshal McLaughlin swept the sprints. Also of note was Horizon junior Josh Rogers’ 38-10 triple jump win.

Stock and Orellano finished 1-2 in the 800 and 1500, registering the Run-Walk top two district times in each event early this season.
