Early success breeds future success. And if this
year’s state performance by the Siuslaw track and
field team is any indication, the Vikings can expect
great things for the future.
Two track members, sophomores Ryan Rendon-
Padilla and Hannah Rannow, each brought home the
state crown in their respective events — Rendon-
Padilla in the javelin and Rannow in the 800 meters.
Rannow also placed fifth in the 3,000- meter race
(10:40.14) over the weekend.
Rendon-Padilla launched a personal record throw
of 181 feet, 7 inches for the javelin title; Rannow won
the 800 event with a PR as well, finishing in 2:18.54.
A total of five Siuslaw athletes scored points for
the Vikings during last weekend’s two-day state meet
at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, competing in
what was the final high school state meet to be held
at the facility before construction of the new Hayward
Field begins, possibly as early as the fall.
It was a fitting end to the careers of the team’s only
three seniors to reach state, throwers Trent Reavis
and KC Tatum, and para-racer Josh Payne.
Reavis, who was sidelined most of the season
while healing from knee surgery, came in late and
managed to secure a place at state in the shot put,
eventually landing fourth at 51-10.5. Tatum threw
the discus 133-9 to take eighth in the 4A.
Payne, making a retrun to state, finished with a
pair of personal bests, placing second in the para
1,500 meters (5:13.85) and third in the para 400-
meter race (1:16.87.)

Though the Sailors track team was
dominated by underclassmen this sea-
son, what it may have lacked in experi-
ence it made up for with enthusiasm
and hard work.
“I was extremely happy and
impressed with our young team,” said
Mapleton head track coach Johnny
Sundstrom, who returned to the helm
this season. “I think what we saw this
season, and with what we have coming
in from the middle school next season,
bodes well for our program.”
Even the team’s lone senior, Cole
Spencer, was a relative new-comer,
competing in only his second-ever 300-
meter hurdles event at district a little
over a week ago. Still, he managed to
place second and qualify for state with
his time of 46.96.
Spencer also placed second in the
high jump at district, tying the top leap
but landing second due to the number
of attempts to clear 5 feet, 8 inches.
But at state, the lone Mapleton senior
improved his best mark by 2 inches,
tying for fourth place with a mark of
5-10. Jack Lehnherr of Pacific also tied
for fourth.
Spencer went on to run the 300 hur-
dles, setting another PR with a time of
4 .66, but falling short of the finals.
Joining Spencer at state were fresh-

Mapleton senior Cole Spencer competed in the 300 hurdles and high jump
during last week’s 1A state track and field meet.
men Phillip Burnett in the 110-meter
hurdles, Jozzy Roby in the 1,500 meters
and JJ Neece in the triple jump.
While none came home with a top-
five finish, each placed among the
12-best in the 1A within their respec-
tive events.
Burnett ran a time of 21.69 in the
110HH preliminaries but fell just short
of reaching the finals.
In the triple jump, Neece cleared
36-07.5 to place ninth overall.
Meanwhile, Roby ran a time of
7:09.75 in the 1,500-meter race to take
12th individually for Malpeton.
“It’s been a great season for us,”
Sundstrom said. “We have a lot to grow
on, a lot to look forward to and some-
thing solid to build on for next year.”

WELL, WHAT A GRAND RHODY DAYS!
Hope you all had a fun time. The coronation was fabulous. What talent we have in our kids.
The Rhody Run had a good turnout. I came in 5th in my age group, even though I just walked!
The corn dog was a disappointment but the curly fries were sinful. The rides were fun, although a friend
that went on the one that went upside down looked a bit green afterwards. Then to top it all off,
the parade was just great! It’s a wonderful town we live in, no wonder people want to move here!
Next stop…Memorial Day!
Be safe and enjoy!
