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.

Skip the line, apply early for controlled hunts
BY OREGON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE
SALEM — Don’t wait until the
last minute to apply for controlled
hunts this year, the Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife advises.
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-

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)

trolled hunts at a license sales agent.
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.
