Going the extra mile
Hermiston’s Trevino
played lacrosse in
Oklahoma during
coronvirus shutdown

ERMISTON —
While the coro-
navirus pandemic
derailed sports for
most athletes during the past
two years, Hermiston’s Vinny
Trevino went to Oklahoma to
work on his lacrosse skills.
His hard work and perse-
verance led to a scholarship at
Newberry College, a private
Lutheran school in Newberry,
South Carolina.
“I love it there,” Trevino
said. “It’s awesome. I defi nitely
liked the Southern hospitality,
how cool they were with me,
and how they communicated
with me. Everyone was very
welcoming.”
The Wolves play at the
NCAA Division II level and
are 18th in the United States
Intercollegiate Lacrosse Asso-
ciation Coaches Poll.
“I can play attack or
midfielder, but I am going
there as an attack (scoring
forward),” Trevino said. “I
am hoping to play for a spot.
That’s my goal.”
Newberry also has an
excellent nursing program,
which was another selling
point for Trevino. The college
broke ground in February
on its new Nursing & Health
Science Center.

Vinny Trevino (23) and his teammates ham it up for the crowd
during introductions before playing Hanford on Friday,
March 25, 2022, at Kennison Field, Hermiston.
“They have a solid
program,” he said. “They are
building a new health facility
down there, which looks nice.
I want to be a traveling nurse.
I love to travel. I think I will
travel around and see where I
fi t best. If I end up back here, I
won’t be too disappointed. It’s
a good town to raise a family
in.”
While Hermiston has a
strong lacrosse program that
has been in place for more
than 20 years, Trevino knew
if he wanted a shot at playing
in college that he had to actu-
ally play in competitive games.
“I played on a club team in
Oklahoma (Impulse Lacrosse)
and my club coach (Callum
Crawford), who plays in the
National Lacrosse League (for
the New York Riptide), helped
me get into a good college,”
Trevino said. “We had a great
coaching staff there. It was
awesome. They did all the
recruiting. COVID ended up
being a good thing for me.”
Trevino fi rst went to Okla-
homa at the end of his soph-
omore year to play lacrosse
in the summer. Living with
extended family, he stayed part
of the next school year, doing
his schoolwork online through
Hermiston High School, and
playing lacrosse.
He returned for his high
school season in the spring,
where the Bulldogs went 11-2.
Trevino returned to his
club team for a month this
past November to play in a few
select tournaments.
“If we would have gone to
the playoff s in football, I would
have stayed home,” said Trev-
ino, who was a wide receiver
for the Bulldogs.
While playing with
Impulse Lacrosse, Trevino
and his team played all over
the country, including tourna-
ments in Florida, Washington,
D.C., and Texas.
“With COVID taking
away my high school playing
time, we played against some
of the best teams on the East
Coast and in some good tour-
naments,” Trevino said. “It
helped me grow as a player and
I gained a lot of knowledge.”
Trevino’s time away helped
his game tremendously,
according to Hermiston coach
Jacob Arnold.
“He brought back a ton of
knowledge (from Oklahoma),”
Arnold said. “It was a good
experience for him. He was
one of our leaders last year,
and he’s one of our top three
leaders this year. We have a
handful of guys who take the
bull by the horns and get us to
where we need to be, and he is
one of them.”
The Bulldogs, who are 2-0
this season, are ranked 12th
in Washington and fi fth at the
3A level, according to Inside
Lacrosse’s March 27 rankings.
“We are very solid,” Trev-
ino said. “Our defense is
phenomenal, and so is our
off ense. We play very aggres-
sive defense. We have a lot of
players who are experienced
and knowledgeable.”
Trevino has been playing
lacrosse since he was in the
fi fth grade.
“I fell in love with it after
my fi rst year,” he said. “I put in
the work. It was a lot of fun. I
love the team energy, the team
vibe and the players.”

YAKIMA — If you
are going to win a state
title, make sure people will
remember you.
The Hermiston Stardust
dance team won two state
titles Saturday, March 26
at the 2A/3A State Dance/
Drill Championships at the
SunDome, and their Dance
routine earned the highest
score of the weekend.
Dancing to “Praying”
by Kesha, Hermiston’s
2 ½-minute routine earned
a score of 283.70, which was
the top score from 1A to
4A. Tumwater was second
at 280.90.
“It’s amazing,” Hermis-
ton coach Susan Stephen-
son said. “It has been a
long day, but we are pretty
excited.”
Her m iston’s Show
routine, performed to a
compilation of music that
tells the story of the Garden
of Eden, earned 265.30
points for fi rst.
The team performed its
Show routine in the fi rst set
of performances, then had
to wait about three hours for
its Dance routine, and a bit
more for its Hip Hop perfor-
mance, which they did not
place in.
“We were No. 4, then we
were No. 52 and then No.
69 for Hip Hop,” Stephens
said. “The dancers got to
sit and watch a lot of other
teams from throughout the
state that we never get to
see.”
Hermiston won the state
Show title in 2019, but the
2020 and 2021 state events
were not held because of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was nice to be back at
state,” Stephens said. “This
is a super fantastic team,
that’s what made them so
special. There were lots of
tears at the end of the day.
I could not have asked for a
better team.”
Track and fi eld
Hermiston senior Caden
Hottman continues his
assault on the school record
book.
Hottman broke his own
school record in the discus
— again — with a throw
of 184 feet, 5 inches on
March 24 at the Bulldog
Invite. His previous record,
set March 19, was 183-11.
In the shot put, Hottman
unleashed a monster throw
of 56 feet to set a personal
best and move into a tie for
third among the Bulldog
greats.
Hottman shares third
place with Tyler Hartsteen
(2005), and is just 7 inches
behind No. 2 Tre Neal (56-7,
2016). The school record is
56-8, set by Faafi aula Ena
in 2010.
