the weather.
“It’s amazing what the
finals at state will do to
your adrenaline,” Brizen-
dine said.
In the high jump, Shawn
Yeager cleared 6 feet, 2
inches to place second.
“That was amazing,”
Brizendine said. “It was a
great way to start the day.”
In the long jump, Edwin
Linares had a mark of
20-10½ to place fourth.
“It was raining so hard,
it was hard to get down the
runway and get off,” Bri-
zendine said. “He wasn’t
far off his best.”
The Bucks’ 4x100 relay
team of Cam Sanford,
Aaron Luke, Blake Davis
and Aiden Patterson fin-
ished sixth in a time of
44.07.
“The handoffs were
clean,” Brizendine said,
“but there was some good
competition.”
The Pendleton boys fin-
ished sixth in the team race
with 47 points. North Bend
won the team title with
72.5 points.
In the girls 300 hurdles,
senior Elisabeth House
turned in a time of 46.60 to
place third.
Thurston’s Adael Scat-
ena won in a time of 43.52,
breaking the state record
of 44.22, set by Liberty’s
Olivia Ferrara in 2010.
“That group was so fast
and she hung with them,”
Brizentine said of House.
Freshman
Muriel
Hoisington finished eighth
in the 400 meters, clocking
a 1:01.94.
“She wasn’t feeling
well, but she ran great and
got on the podium,” Bri-
zendine said.
The Pendleton girls’
4x100 relay finished 11th
(51.53), while its 4x400
team was 12th (4:22.40).
The Bucks were 23rd in
the team standings with 8
points. North Salem won
the team title with 119
points.

Romero: Wins state title by more than 15 feet

second with a toss of 128-8.
“I actually didn’t pay too
much attention to the other
throwers,” Romero said.
“I just made sure my mark
was at the top. The medal
is pretty cool. At Hayward
(Field), they let us bring our
javelins on the podium, so I
brought mine up.”
Romero, who finished
third at the Oregon 5A state
championships last year as
a sophomore with a throw
of 134-3, has put in the
work to be competitive in
Washington.
She threw her PR of
151-9 at the Mid-Columbia
Conference district meet in
Hermiston, then threw 143
feet at the District 8 meet
in Richland to earn the top
seed to state.
Also competing Satur-
day was Kaylee Young in
the long jump.
Young, who has jumped
more than 17 feet this sea-
son, finished 13th with a
mark of 16-0½ in the pre-
lims. She did not make the
finals.

sevelt won the event with a

leap of 18-0½.
The competitors jumped
in the pouring rain, but
Young said she didn’t mind.
“It was very cold and
rainy, but I enjoyed every
second of it,” Young said.
“The environment was very
positive. I got so many ques-
tions about where Hermis-
ton was. The officials won-
dered if they were going to
take my marks and report
them to Oregon.”
Just a sophomore, Young
hopes to make a return visit
next year.
“I hope next year to get
a spot on the podium,” she
said. “I’m ready to step back
on the track now.”
Pac-12 champion UCLA
Mac-Hi softball ends
earns No. 1 national seed for season with heartbreaker
gets walk-
NCAA baseball tournament Banks
off win over
By ERIC OLSON
OMAHA, Nebraska —
Pac-12 champion UCLA
won each of its series for the
first time in program history,
didn’t lose a midweek game
and ended the regular season
on a 10-game winning streak.
The Bruins (47-8) were
rewarded for their remark-
able consistency Monday
with the No. 1 national seed
in the NCAA Tournament.
“We have a terrific confer-
ence. We believe it’s the No.
1 conference in the country
from top to bottom,” UCLA
coach John Savage said. “The
competitiveness they were
challenged with all season,
we stepped up, and we defi-
nitely feel we’re prepared for
the next part of the season.”
The 64-team tournament
opens Friday in 16 region-
als. Winners advance to eight
best-of-three super regionals.
Those winners move on to
the College World Series in
Omaha.
The No. 2 seed is Vander-
bilt (49-10), which has won 22
of its last 23 games and is the
first team to sweep the South-
eastern Conference regu-
lar-season and tournament
championships since it did so
in 2007.
Behind UCLA and Van-
derbilt are Georgia Tech (41-
17), Georgia (44-15), Arkan-
sas (41-17), Mississippi State
(46-13), Louisville (43-15)
and Texas Tech (39-17).
The top eight seeds play
at home for super regionals if
they win their regionals.
Seeds nine through 16
are Oklahoma State (36-18),
East Carolina (43-15), Stan-
ford (41-11), Mississippi (37-
25), LSU (37-24), North
Carolina (42-17), West Vir-
ginia (37-20) and defending
national champion Oregon
State (36-18-1).
Pioneers in 4A
quarterfinals
By BRETT KANE
East Oregonian
It came down to the
final inning, but Mac-Hi
ultimately took home a
narrow defeat to end their
softball season.
Madison Graham deliv-
ered a two-run, walk-off
single to lift the Braves to
a 6-5 win over the Pioneers
Friday in the 4A quarterfi-
nals in Banks.
Despite the loss, the
Pioneers jumped out with
the lead early on. With two
outs on the board in the top
of the first, Courtney Cain
drew a walk, and Ally
Marly singled on a hard
ground ball to left field on
the next at-bat. Graci Bull-
ock followed with a double
to score both runners.
But the Braves evened
things out in the bottom of
the third. Kaylin Hernan-
dez bunted Haelee Saun-
ders home, and Emma
White hit an RBI single to
tie the score at 2-2.
Three scoreless innings
went by before Lexi Mont-
gomery scored on Graci
Bullock’s walk to put the
Pioneers ahead 3-2 in the
top of the seventh. Bella
Perkins doubled on a line
drive to left field to score
Cain and Marly.
But the Braves put up
four runs in the bottom of
the seventh. Abigail Camp-
bell scored on a wild pitch
to tie the score at 5-5, and
Graham’s single sealed the
Pioneers’ fate.
Sydney Earls fanned
nine Braves and threw
just one walk for the Pio-
neers. Bullock sent three
runners across the plate,
and Marly’s 2-for-3 batting
performance scored two
runs.
Mac-Hi ended their
season with a 17-9 overall
record.
