Hermiston athletes storm
the podium at state meet
Hermiston Herald
In 2016, the Hermiston track and field
team got its feet wet at the OSAA State
Championships, with the girls team fin-
ishing tied for 19th out of 30 teams and
the boys in 13th out of 26.
But after a highly successful 2017
season that saw a Bulldogs team mixed
with senior studs and skilled underclass-
men dominate the district, this year’s trip
to state was to prove their worth. And it’s
safe to say Hermiston accomplished its
goal.
The Bulldog girls and boys both put
together strong finishes on Saturday to
earn top-five finishes, with the girls scor-
ing 53 points for a third place finish and
the boys grabbing 39 points for a fifth
place finish at Hayward Field. Summit
ran away with both team titles as the
boys had 71 points and the girls a stun-
ning 189 points.
Hermiston went 17 for 18 in placing in
qualified events, headlined by the strong
performances of all four relay teams. On
the girls side, both relays earned silver
medals, starting with the 4x100 team of
Ebony Wilson, Scout Reagan, Audrey
Lincoln and Elsa Torres finishing in
48.83 as the Dawgs and first place Sum-
mit were the only two teams to turn in
sub 49-second times.
The 4x400 team of Torres, Madison
Wilson, Reagan and Lincoln finished in
4:04.65, behind Summit at 3:58.64.
On the boys side, the 4x100 relay
team of Joey Gutierrez, Vaemu Ena,
Tyler Rohrman and Alexis Mercado
crossed the finish line in 43.30 seconds
— just .11 seconds out of first — for a
silver medal and a new school record.
The 4x400 team wasn’t quite as success-
ful, slipping onto the podium in eighth
as Rohrman, Felix Garcia, Isaac Sanchez
and Mercado finished in 3:32.23.
Individual stars for Hermiston in-
cluded Rohrman with a silver medal in
the 100 meter hurdles with a PR time of
14.68 and a fifth place finish in the 300
hurdles, Hiram Maciel with a silver med-
al in the high jump after a PR of 6-feet-5,
and Madison Wilson with a silver med-
al in the 100 meter hurdles with a PR of
15.12 and a sixth place finish in the 300
hurdles.
In the field, Ebony Wilson capped a
stellar season and successful career with
a fourth place finish in the triple jump
with a PR of 36 feet, 2 inches and Maddy
Juul placed twice with a bronze medal in
the shot put with a throw of 37-00.50 and
then sneaked onto the podium in the dis-
cus with a PR toss of 108 feet, 10 inches
for an eighth place finish.
