Eagles get closer to mid-season form at meet in Prineville
Joe Petshow
■ By Columbia
Gorge News
Hood River Valley’s track
and field team is slowly
working its way into compet-
itive shape, as evidenced by
its performance last week at
a three-way Intermountain
Conference meet in
Prineville.
The Eagles were second
in both the girls and boys
competition behind the
host Cowboys, but the most
important thing for HRV
Coach Brandon Bertram was
the team’s improvement it
showed from week one to
week two.
“Our team is doing really
well actually; we were really
impressed with how we did
at Prineville compared to
our first meet,” Bertram said.
“The weather has been good
so there is no excuse there.”
Bertram said last
Thursday’s meet was a
better indicator of how the
mid-May district meet in
Pendleton should shape up.
“Crook County is considered
the favorite,” he said of the
Cowboys, who won the boys
meet in 2019 and finished
second by one point to
Ridgeview in the girls meet.
“We’re now closer to where
we want to be.”
The Eagles were led last
week by a couple of lifetime
bests, including one that
was close to a school record.
Michael Goodman won the
javelin at 174-feet, 10-inch-
es, and the high jump at 6-1.
“Goodman, holy smokes,
he’s on fire right now,”
Bertram said. “He jumped
6-1 and had his toe catch at
6-2 or he would have cleared
that. He was three feet off
the school (javelin) record
and he’s going to get it.”
Pole vaulter Steven
Stanley, a transfer from The
Dalles, cleared a person-
al best 14-feet to win his
specialty. Teammate Shaw
Burns was second in both
the long jump (19-6) and
triple jump (PR 37-5).
The boys distance races
featured two, three-way
battles between Alec Carne
of Crook County, and HRV’s
Josh Haynes and Elliot
Hawley. That was the order
of finish in both races, as
Carne pulled away down the
stretch in the metric mile,
in a personal best 4:10.68
to 4:13.07 to 4:16.42. Later,
Carne nipped Haynes in the
800, 2:02.0 to 2:02.69.
In the girls meet, senior
Chloe Bullock doubled to
win the 400 in 63.81 seconds,
and the 800 in 2:39.84 —
both season bests. Phoebe
Wood was a second behind
Bullock in the 800 after
winning the 1500 in 5:44.36.
Wood led a one-through-five
HRV sweep in the 1500.
Athletic frosh Simone
Tillman had a busy day,
finishing second in the 100
(13.48), second in the 400
(66.17), second in the pole
vault (10-feet) and third in
the long jump (16-feet) for
30 team points. All of her
efforts were personal bests.
HRV competes
Wednesday at home
against Pendleton, Horizon
Christian School, and a
select few Columbia High
athletes. Field events begin
at 2 p.m. and running events
start at 3 p.m. at Henderson
Stadium. The Eagles will
honor their senior track and
field members between
the 300-meter hurdle and
3000-meter races, toward
the end of the meet.
