at the WIAA state championships Thursday and advanced to the fi nals. The Ilwaco senior is the
defending state champion in the event.
Early success at state
for Ilwaco athletes
By PATRICK WEBB
For The Astorian
CHENEY, Wash. —
Ilwaco began the WIAA state
track meet with some suc-
cesses Thursday.
Three Fisherman athletes
stepped up the podium at
Eastern Washington Univer-
sity to receive medals.
Senior Ebby McMullen
landed a triple jump of 36 feet,
4¾ inches for third and soph-
omore Erika Glenn increased
her personal best by two feet
to place fourth with 36-0. The
winner was last year’s cham-
pion, Matty Lagerwey of La
Conner, with 37-1 ¾.
The two Ilwaco compet-
itors found their groove in
the fi eld of 16 as Lagerwey
appeared dissatisfi ed with her
early jumps and Raymond’s
strong Kyra Gardner had
mixed success.
Both Ilwaco athletes qual-
ifi ed for the fi nal cut and the
battle began in earnest. When
Glenn’s personal record
36-foot jump was put on the
scoreboard she and McMul-
len jumped aloft and dou-
ble high-fi ved, an action that
made even the offi cials smile.
“I don’t think any school
in the state has had two
36-foot jumps this year,”
said a beaming coach, Dan
Schenck, once the result was
known. He said McMullen’s
third place was a delight,
especially in view of surgery
that coaches feared may end
the three-sport athlete’s fi nal
season in an Ilwaco uniform.
“I didn’t expect to be
here,” said McMullen, who
credits her coaches, school
leaders and the community
for outstanding support. “I
had shoulder surgery in April,
but then I had a chance to do
triple jump and I said, ‘why
not?’”
McMullen is also partici-
pating at state in long jump,
hurdles and a relay.
For Glenn, who has qual-
ifi ed in two sprints and relay,
Thursday’s pleasure was evi-
dent. “It was great to beat my
PR by two feet. I had never
done track before, so it is
good.”
For the boys, Daniel Quin-
tana placed fourth in the
1,600 meters.
The freshman ran a canny
The Hilanders intention-
ally walked Austin Little to
load the bases, but Winn —
unintentionally — walked
the next two batters on just
nine pitches, forcing in a
pair of runs.
A ground ball by Duane
Falls also could have ended
the inning, but a poor throw
to fi rst resulted in an error,
which scored two more runs.
Burns’ nightmare inning
continued when an errant
pickoff attempt by catcher
Sean Wilber sailed into left
fi eld, scoring Jacob Morrow
for a 5-0 lead.
That was all the Warren-
ton pitching staff needed.
Jackson was replaced by
Breitmeyer in the third
inning, and the side-
arm-throwing junior gave up
an RBI single, but faced the
minimum number of batters
from the fourth through the
sixth innings.
Knight retired three of
four batters in the seventh.

Jackson got the victory
on the mound, while Winn
took the loss.
“We put the ball in play,
and the kids forced them
to have to make plays,”
Wolfe said. “Obviously the
big thing for us today was
the way we pitched and
defended. When they had a
bit of a threat, we turned a
double play (twice), and I

race. With two front runners
challenging for supremacy,
and a third a short distance
behind, the other contest was
for fourth.
Quintana made sure he
was in fourth during the
fi nal two laps as the pack
thinned. He appeared to be
tiring as he and Gavin Mer-
ritt from Tekoa-Rosalia dis-
appeared behind some mov-
able bleachers that block the
grandstand’s visibility on the
home turn.
Seconds later, as the run-
ners came back into view,
Quintana was still holding
on. He sprinted the last 100
and held off the senior’s chal-
lenge to fi nish in 4 minutes,
31.30 seconds. The winner,
Justin Roosma, from Walla
Walla Valley, was timed at
4:15.07.
“This is the best feeling,”
said Quintana, still breathless
several minutes after crossing
the fi nish line. “It was in the
last 100 meters — I just took
off! This is the best run I have
ever had.”
Alex Kaino began his
defense of the state 300 meter
hurdles title with a smooth
win in his heat. His time of
40.17 was slightly slower
than his district qualifying
time of 39.41, but he eased up
slightly as he approached the
tape. Will Lane from North-
west Christian won another
heat in 40.09. They and the
other six qualifi ers will run
Saturday.
Kaino’s 100 meter heat
was the fastest of the three,
with the winner Brandon
Montoya of Lyle-Wishram
clocked at 11.02. Kaino was
second in 11.28 and will for
the championship Saturday.
Naselle has 20 athletes at
the 1B state meet, also being
held at Cheney.
Thursday, sprinter Faaoso
Tutu’u was second in his heat
in the 100 meters in 11.53,
making him the tie-fourth
fastest qualifi er for Satur-
day’s fi nal.
In the 1,600 fi nal, fi rst
and second were brothers
from Pope John Paul II High
School. Sophomore Kobe
Deutscher fi nished in 4.29.69
to beat senior Caden by just
over one second.
Naselle’s Kolby Glenn
and Monte Schell did not
place.
Corey Gregory and Ian
Fontanilla ran in 300 hurdles
heats but did not advance.

And the Loggers were
the home team for most of
those fi rst-round games.
Other than their annual
trip to Keizer, Knappa has
not had to play a road play-
off game since 2013.
And the most import-
ant numbers of all — the
Loggers have a string of
nine straight wins in the
post-season.
Knappa was scheduled
to host Regis in a state quar-
terfi nal Friday (the Rams

said.
The Loggers went on
to score at least one run in
every inning.
Considering Knappa’s
record in fi rst round playoff
games over the last 11 years
— the Bobcats didn’t have
much of a chance.
In a record that’s proba-
bly unmatched at any level,
the Loggers have won 12
games in the fi rst round
for 12 straight years. They
missed the state playoffs in
2007, after winning a fi rst-
round game in 2006. Knap-

ers, which could potentially
be big for Friday.
“The fact that (Jackson)
gave us two-and-a-third
innings, set the tone, Gabe
came in and kept his pitch
count where it had to be,
then Dalton basically got a
bullpen session. So we have
three arms for the things we
have to do Friday.”
