SPORTS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2019 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A11 Hermiston’s Palzinski, Romero post wins at soggy Kiwanis Invite fter the sun wel- comed athletes and fans to the Kiwanis Twilight Invitational on Fri- day, the rain began to fall on the meet at Kennison Field for the fi rst time in recent memory. Event sheets were soggy, as were the athletes, but the rain did not put a damper on the event. Kamiakin ran away with the boys title with 233 points, while Hanford and Kamiakin fought to the bit- ter end for the girls team title. The Braves, who had a 1.5-point lead over the Fal- cons heading into the 4x400 relay, came away with the title (160.5 points) because Hanford (156) did not fi eld a mile relay team. Hermis- ton fi nished third with 107 points. Jaxson Nichols of Kami- akin, who won the high jump and long jump, and was sec- ond in the triple jump, was the boys high-point athlete of the meet. For the girls, the honor was shared by Hanford teammates Amanda Fraga and Katelynn Gelatin. Paige Palzinski had a productive day for the host Bulldogs, winning the shot put with a heave of 38 feet, placing fourth in the tri- ple jump (31-5), fi fth in the long jump (15-5) and sev- enth in the discus (98-4 3/4). She also ran the anchor leg on the winning throw- ers relay, but that event was nonscoring. Junior Jazlyn Romero won the javelin with a toss of 136-7 1/2. She also was fourth in the discus (107-3 1/2), and ran on the throwers relay team. “We had side wind, so I had to run at an angle,” Romero said of the jave- lin event. “There was some good competition, but not like at the Pasco Invite.” The Hermiston girls 4x400 relay of Jayden Ray, Amanda Nygard, Sydney Seavert and Abigail Sharon crossed the fi nish line fi rst in a time of 4:19.29. The Bulldogs’ 4x100 relay team of Sharon, MaKaylee Young, Kam- ryn Aldred and Ray fi nished third (51.77). Young added a sec- ond-place fi nish in the long jump (16-4), while Ray was second in the 400 with a time of 1:03.37, and Aldred was sixth in the 200 (28.42). Freddy Mendoza led the Hermiston boys with a third- place fi nish in the 800 with a time of 2:02.23. Stanfi eld-Echo had one winner on the day — Devan Craig in the javelin, with a toss of 157-8. Craig’s winning throw, which also is a personal best, came on his second attempt in the prelims. “I was a little timid at fi rst,” Craig said of throw- ing against guys from bigger schools. “I was a bit fright- ened. I scratched my fi rst throw, but I knew I’d be able to get my steps right. Once I got my fi rst throw in, I knew I’d be OK.” Rebecca Reynolds was fourth in the high jump for the Tigers with a PR of 4-10.

There is always a rush the last few days before the May 15 dead- line — last year, 83,630 of 471,262 total applications were submit- ted on the last day. ODFW expects even higher call volumes and traf- fi c this year on the last few days before the deadline, as custom- ers get accustomed to the agency’s new electronic licensing system. You can skip the line and apply online on the new system at MyODFW.com. Anyone who has applied for controlled hunts in the past and has preference points needs to use the “Verify/Look Up your Account” button to retrieve and verify their account fi rst if they haven’t already. Hunters and anglers who have purchased an annual license in the past three years, or have Pioneer or Disabil- ity status, also need to look up their account as they already have a pro- fi le in the new system. “It’s important to use Ver- ify/Look Up Your Account, or you’ll end up creating a duplicate account and won’t see your prefer- ence points, a problem some cus- tomers have encountered,” said Linda Lytle, ODFW license ser- vices manager. “We have added additional warnings in the system which should keep hunters from accidentally creating a duplicate account.” Complete the steps to verify your online account, including pro- Photo contributed by Jeremy Henderson Jeremy Henderson, of Springfi eld, with an elk taken in the Walla Walla unit on his 2018 Premium Hunt tag. viding a current email address, and then it’s easy to apply for a con- trolled hunt. Go to Purchase from the Catalog / Big Game Hunting / Controlled Hunts to choose your hunt series and/or Premium Hunt. Then Proceed to Checkout to com- plete hunt selection. New this year, there are no longer limitations on party sizes for controlled hunts. Be sure to double check your hunt numbers in the 2019 Big Game Regulations. Any changes to hunts or regulations are highlighted in yellow http://www.eregulations. com/oregon/big-game-hunting/ There are a few other changes to 2019 Big Game Regulations hunt- ers should be aware of posted at MyODFW.com. These include tag reductions for hunt 152B-Starkey deer, additional tags for several NE Oregon elk hunts, and an error in the regulations for the season date of hunt 256X (correct season dates for the Wenaha spike elk are Oct. 23-27). Another benefi t to accessing your online account is that you can change your hunt choices for free through your online account until June 1. Even customers who pur- chase at a license sale agent can set up their online account, again by using the Verify/Look up your Account feature and competing online account setup. For more questions about the new electronic licensing system or if you have problems verifying your account, visit the ELS FAQ or contact ODFW by phone (503) 947-6101), email (odfw.websa- les@state.or.us) or social media (@MyODFW on Facebook, Twit- ter, Instagram).

Most agents who used the old sys- tem are continuing to sell licenses on the new system, but call ahead fi rst if you don’t see your preferred vendor on this list: https://myodfw. com/articles/where-find-odfw-li- cense-agentsvendors The vendor will ask hunters who haven’t verifi ed their accounts on the new licensing system yet to provide some information such as their Hunter/Angler ID# (now known as ODFW ID#), or name and date of birth, to verify custom- ers in the new system. “Vendors can experience long lines the few days before the dead- line, and some have even been known to turn away customers who come too late on May 15,” said Lytle. “Please consider apply- ing early this year to avoid the last minute rush at license sale agents.” “At a minimum, please verify your account online ASAP if you haven’t yet so it’s easy to apply online later in the spring,” she added. As of April 12, about 45,000 cus- tomers of the 160,000 who applied for a controlled hunt last year still need to verify their account online or at a license sale agent. Oregon has limited-entry, aka controlled hunts, for many big game species in parts of Oregon, including all pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and Rocky Moun- tain goat hunts, eastern Oregon rifl e deer hunts, and many eastern Ore- gon rifl e elk hunts. The state’s Pre- mium Hunts — which offer a four- month season for antelope, deer or elk for the cost of a regular tag — also require application by May 15. and hit the ball solid,” Gree- nough said. Jenne struck out two and walked two in picking up the win. “She can bring it for her size,” Kennewick coach Patty Malloy-Flora said of her pitcher. “(Hermiston) got a few runs there and that got my heart going. They are a good hitting team, especially the top of their lineup.” Hermiston struggled in the second game, commit- ting fi ve errors and getting just three hits off Jenne, who struck out four and walked two. The Lions put single runs on the board in the fi rst three innings, then scored three in the fourth to secure the win. Stefani, Studer and Eliza Rodriguez all had hits for the Bulldogs, who will host Pasco on Friday. Warren hit a solo home run for the Lions and drove in two runs.
