ASTORIA GIRLS’ DYNASTY CONTINUES ON THE TRACK By GARY HENLEY The Astorian T he Astoria girls track team won four straight league titles from 2015-18, with one athlete doing the bulk of the scoring. That athlete — Darian Hageman — now competes at Oregon State. But the dynasty of Cowapa League girls track and field continues. Using their team depth to score points, the Lady Fishermen won their fifth con- secutive team championship in league competition Friday at Scappoose. The Astoria girls scored 232 team points to easily win the title, with Valley Catholic a distant second at 145. Seaside and Tillamook tied for third. The Valiants won the boys’ team championship, followed by Banks, Asto- ria, Tillamook and Seaside. And now it’s off to state for a number of North Coast athletes. The long list of league champions and second-place fin- ishers includes 10 members of the Asto- ria girls’ team. The Lady Fishermen will have entrants in 13 of 17 events at the state meet, which takes place Friday and Sat- urday at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham. Astoria will be aiming for its fourth state title in the last five years. After winning three state champion- ships in a row (2015, ‘16, ‘17), Astoria came up five points short in last year’s meet. There’s no Hageman this year, but with their team depth in 2019, the Fish- ermen will certainly be among the team favorites. While the first year without Scap- poose in the league made a big differ- ence, the Astoria girls still went unchal- lenged, with top three finishers in 16 of 17 events, winning six. Highlights for the Astoria girls Thurs- day and Friday included Andrea Harris Astoria High School Astoria’s winning relay runners, from left to right: Kelsey Fausett, Andrea Harris, Sophie Long and Nara Van De Grift. qualifying for state in the 100 and 200 meters, as she placed second in the 100 (13.35 seconds) and won the 200 (27.55). Both times were personal bests. Kelsey Fausett won the 400 meters in a PR 1:02.14, and Sophie Long qualified for state in the 800 meters. In the 100-meter hurdles, freshman Maddie Sisley took second, and Astoria’s 400-meter relay (the foursome of Nara Van De Grift, Harris, Fausett and Long) won Friday’s final in 51.31, nearly two seconds ahead of Banks. The Astoria 1,600-meter relay took second and will also head to state. The Astoria girls did not have a double winner, but Seaside did. Senior Gretchen Hoekstre will be the big favorite in both the shot put and discus, which she won with throws of 45-11 1/2 and 150-10, respectively. And just to make it a clean sweep in the throwing events in league, the Gulls’ Anna Huddleston won the javelin. Astoria will be represented in the throws by Kes Sandstrom (second in the discus) and Fausett (second in the javelin). And even without Hageman, the Lady Fishermen still rule the jumping events in the Cowapa. Astoria athletes won the pole vault (Elizabeth Barnett), long jump (Sisley) and triple jump (Van De Grift), with Barnett placing second in the high jump. “We had a strong showing,” said Asto- ria coach Garrett Parks. “Two great days of competition. Girls first and boys third, (and) 10 girls to state covering 13 of the 17 events, with three boys in four events.” On the boys’ side, more league cham- pions from Astoria, as Ian Hunt captured the 110 hurdles and the high jump. Soph- omore Presley Beck won the triple jump, and Vojta Ryp qualified in the high jump (second). Despite their last-place finish in the team standings, the Seaside boys made some waves with district championships in the 200 (Henry Garvin, who also qual- ified in the 100) and the javelin (Parker Conrad). Levi Card was a state qualifier in the 800 meters and triple jump (second in both). Warrenton throwers, Knappa runners advance to state The Astorian It’s getting to be a very long list — Warrenton athletes who have won district or state titles in throw- ing events. The Warriors have always been good in the throws, and perhaps never better than they are now, as two Warrenton athletes com- bined to win five of the six pos- sible championships in the throw- ing events in the District 1/3A meet held Friday and Saturday at Port- land Christian. Warrenton’s Mark Warren was Clatsop County’s only individ- ual event triple champion, as the junior won district titles in the dis- cus, javelin and shot put. He set a personal best in the discus with a throw of 131 feet, 6 inches. Warren will be a favorite to win all three at the 3A state meet, Friday and Saturday at Mt. Hood Community College. Scoring the bulk of the points for the Warrenton girls (who fin- ished third in the team standings) was senior Fernanda Alvarez, the district champion in the discus (PR toss of 104-3) and shot put, and second in the javelin. Another Warrior making the trip to state is junior Kaisa Liljen- wall, the district champion in the 300 hurdles and second in the high hurdles. Piña-Morton, Philip qualify for state The Knappa boys will have one sprinter in two events, and one dis- tance runner also competing in two events at the state track meet. The Class 2A/1A meet takes place Friday and Saturday at Western Oregon University in Monmouth. Knappa qualified two runners in last week’s District 1/2A meet at Portland Christian. In the sprints, Knappa junior Kanai Philip placed second in Darlene Warren Gary Henley/The Astorian Warrenton throwers Fernanda Alvarez, left, and Mark Warren put up the ‘W’ sign following their combined five victories in the district meet. Knappa junior Robert Piña-Morton, a double winner in the District 1/2A track meet, as he swept the distance events. both the 100 and 200 meter races, running a pair of personal best times (11.55 and 23.74 seconds, respectively). And Knappa’s long distance junior sensation, Robert Piña- Morton, was a district champion in two events. He won the 1,500 meters in a PR time of 4:17.68, and won the 3,000 meters in a personal best 9:21.57, nearly 23 seconds ahead of second-place Joe Wilkinson of Nestucca.
