• Emma Timm competed
in the 400, although Cole said
her specialty is the 800.
“She competed strong
at districts and state while
learning how to manage the
strategy of the race,” Cole
said. “It has been fun watch-
ing Emma gain confidence
with her running.”
• Brooklyn Jaca competed
in four events and “had a very
strong showing in all four,”
Cole said.
She tied her personal best in
the high jump at 4-10, finishing
fifth. She also ran well in the
100 and 300 hurdles and ran
a leg for the 4x400 relay team
that placed third.
• Anna Belding qualified for
the 400 final by finishing sec-
ond in her heat.
She was disqualified in the
finals for stepping on the lane
line too many times, Cole said.
“The corners are so short
and tight that it is different
than what they run the rest of
the season,” she said.
• Jayden Whitford, a fresh-
man, competed in the pole
vault, an event she took up just
three weeks ago, Cole said.

Baker’s Jozie Ramos, shown here competing in the district track and field meet on May 14, 2022, at BHS,
placed fourth in the high jump and 12th in the shot put at the Class 4A state championships in Eugene
May 20-21, 2022.
“While she did not make
opening height, she had two
very good attempts at it,”
Cole said. “She will be back
next year.”
In addition to Baker’s third-
place finish in the 4x400 relay,
BAKER TENNIS AT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
the Bulldogs’ 4x100 relay team
placed 11th, matching a per-
sonal record at 52.77 seconds.
Relay team members are
Belding, Sofia Hanson, Whit-
ford and Alexis Conant. Cole
said Hanson, a freshman,
stepped in for Baeth due to
scheduling conflicts.
“Sofia stepped up and ran
a great leg with very little no-
tice,” Cole said. “I was super
proud of how she handles
it all.”
Boys individual results
• Thaddeus Pepera finished
seventh in the 300 hurdles.
• Daniel Brown, a freshman,
finished 10th in both the 1,500
and 3,000, setting personal re-
cords in both races.
“Daniel competed as well
as any distance runner I have
taken to state in 35 years,” Cole
said. “It is so difficult to com-
pete when the front kids are
so fast that it usually pulls the
runners beyond their capacity.
But Daniel stuck with his strat-
egy and performed very well.
He ran two perfect races.”
• Tate Powell placed 11th in
the discus.
“He had a rocky start be-
cause his was the first event at
the meet, and it wasn’t as or-
ganized as well as we would
expect,” Cole said. “It was a
bit of a rush, but he handled it
very well and stayed focused.
The discus ring is so different,
and some of the athletes did
not get a legal throw in. Tate
did throw well, and I consider
this a good first trip to state
for him.”
• Malaki Myer competed in
the 200 and 400, and was close
to qualifying for the finals in
both races.
“He competed very well,
but it just wasn’t in his legs to
compete at the top of his abili-
ties,” Cole said.
• Angel DeArcos competed
in the 400 and 800.
In the 400, “he ran a very
good race, but not quite
enough to get to the finals,”
Cole said. “He competed well.”
• Dash Bloomer competed
in the javelin and the 110 hur-
dles.
“He had three really good
throws right at his PR in the
javelin, but not quite enough
to get into the finals,” Cole
said.
• Reeve Damschen placed
10th in the pole vault, clearing
11 feet, 6 inches.
“I am very excited for how
he did,” Cole said. “He had
good attempts at 12 feet.”
• Baker’s 4x100 relay team
— Wyatt Hawkins, Kayden
Garvin, Diego Quintela and
Malaki Myer — placed ninth.
“They competed very well,”
Cole said.
• Baker’s 4x400 relay team
placed seventh, setting a new
personal record by three sec-
onds.
Runners are Wyatt Haw-
kins, Diego Quintela, Angel
DeArcos and Malaki Myer.
“Malaki ran a great anchor
leg,” Cole said. “This is such an
exciting race.”

OSU’s indoor facility, a new
experience for Baker.
Bell, who went on to finish
third in the tournament, won
6-0, 6-0.
“Sarah battled hard but her
set scores didn’t reflect it,”
Younger said.
In a consolation match,
Plummer lost 8-0 to Laina Ati-
yehn of Stayton.
“She played hard and walked
off the court very happy with
her performance,” Younger
said.
Baker’s girls doubles team of
Maya Smith and Olivia Jacoby
played Marin Roseman and
Sophia Dube of Oregon Epis-
copal in their first match, also
on an indoor court.
Smith and Jacoby led 3-2 in
the first set but couldn’t main-
tain their momentum.
Another game in the first set
went to deuce five times.
Roseman and Dube, who
went on to win the state cham-
pionship, won 6-3, 6-0.
Younger said Smith and
Jacoby “played very well and
fought a great battle.”
In a consolation match, also
indoors, Smith and Jacoby lost
8-5 to Phoebe Dodson and K
Bacho of Philomath.
“Again they battled for ev-
ery point and game won,”
Younger said.
She hopes to build on this
year’s results for the 2023 sea-
son.
“This was a great experience
for these players and hopefully
next year I will get to take more
players to state,” Younger said.

CORVALLIS — Baker’s
four state-qualifying ten-
nis players had to adjust to
tougher competition, and in
some cases to playing indoors
for the first time, at the Class
4A/3A/2A/1A state champi-
onships at Oregon State Uni-
versity.
Baker didn’t win any
matches on Friday, May 20,
and no Bulldogs advanced to
the final day of the event, Sat-
urday, May 21.
“The kids fought some
tough battles,” Baker coach
Amy Younger said. “The set
scores don’t always show how
good the games are.”
In boys singles, Danny
Cunningham took on third-
seeded Lucas Franssen of
Marist Catholic in the first
round.
Franssen won, 6-2, 6-1.
Younger said Cunningham
“had some good points and
even some games.”
In a consolation match,
which was played in the pro
set format (first player to
win eight games), Cunning-
ham lost 8-2 to Gage Hurst of
North Marion.
“I felt he played well and
fought hard and hopefully
he can go again next year,”
Younger said of Cunningham.
In girls singles, Baker senior
Sarah Plummer also drew the
third seed, Bailey Bell of Phi-
lomath, in the first round.
Bell placed second in last
year’s 4A state showcase event.
