Siuslaw senior Destinie Tatum passes Philomath’s Hannah Hernandez for the win in the 800 meters last Friday.

Reavis’ mark of 49-9 in the
shot on Friday was also the
winning throw.
Given that Reavis is only a
junior, there’s a distinct possi-
bility he could be the first
Viking in school history to
complete a sweep of the throws
by next year should he add
another 14 feet to his current
PR-javelin throw of 164-7.5 set
at this year’s Oregon Relays —
a mark that earned him the No.
5 spot on Siuslaw’s all-time
list.
The current record in the
javelin (IAAF) is 177-9, set by
Kody Reavis in 2008.
However, freshman Ryan
Rendon-Padilla could chal-
lenge that sweep after coming
Tuesday 4/18
within 2 inches of Reavis in the
javelin on Friday, with Rendon
Padilla landing at 156-10.
It wasn’t just in the throws
that Siuslaw had a standout
performance on Friday.
Senior distance runner and
defending state champion in
the 800 meters Destinie Tatum
clocked the Oregon 4A’s best
time of the season in 2 minutes,
23.58 seconds to win the event
in her season debut. Tatum cur-
rently holds the school record
in the event with her time of
2:17.62, which was set at the
same meet last season.
On Friday, Tatum also
leaped the day’s best high jump
mark at 4-6.
Meanwhile, senior thrower
Carissa Oliver nabbed the title
in two events at the CCI,
throwing 40-4 in the shot put
and 134-1 in the discus.
Oliver also threw a personal
best of 103-11 in the javelin to
place third overall.
Other top finishers from
Friday’s meet included: Senior
hurdler Clark Hooper personal-
record time of 41.91 for the
win in the boys 300-meter hur-
dles, then running 16.04 in the
high hurdles for second place;
senior Jack Pickell finished
second in the 3,000 meters with
a PR at 9:28.48 for the third-
fastest time in the 4A this sea-
son; sophomore Madison
Reynolds placed second to
Oliver in the shot put with a
mark of 33-9.5; and senior
Ryan Alletson landed a person-
al record in the high jump with
a leap of 5-4 to tie for second.
