10A FRIDAY APRIL 14, 2017 Spring Sports SeasideSignal.com Athletes DAILY ASTORIAN INVITATIONAL OF THE WEEK ATHLETES BATTLE ELEMENTS AT MEET SPONSORED BY: LUM’S AUTO CENTER By Gary Henley Seaside Signal W elcome to high school track and field on the North Ore- gon Coast. The 29th annual Daily As- torian Invitational had a little bit of everything Saturday afternoon … on the track, in the field and in the skies above Seaside High School. Less than 24 hours after a major wind- storm swept through the area, a weather sys- tem from the south kept things hopping in Saturday’s meet. SUBMITTED PHOTO WILL GARVIN Track One of the top hurdlers in the Cowapa League, Garvin began his senior season as a double-winner in a three-way meet at Tillamook April 6, winning the 110-meter hurdles in 16.4 seconds, and later the 300-meter hurdles in 42.2. Garvin won the 300 hurdles in the Daily Astorian Invitational April 8, finishing in 44.27. Alternating weather A 10-minute sample: At 1:10 p.m., sunshine and a slight breeze, with some very dark clouds offshore, followed by (at 1:15), a hailstorm of near-biblical pro- portions. And finally, at 1:20, it was back to a Bob Marley song — the sun was shining and the weather was sweet. And that’s how it was Saturday, as the clouds, wind, rain and sunshine alternated every 15 minutes. Through it all, the athletes were running, jumping and throwing their personal bests. Had the meet been scheduled for Friday, it would have been canceled, said Seaside coach Jeff Kilday. As it was, meet organizers were not able to set up for things until Saturday morning. Even with a late set-up, “I don’t know if we’ve ever been better prepared for this meet than we were today,” Kilday said. “We had eight National Guard volunteers helping us out, and with all the adults, from (Seaside ath- letic director) Jason Boyd to the coaches and other kids … we got through everything just great.” Weather-wise, “I don’t think we’ve ever had hail like that, and it was a little cooler than I expected,” he said. “But just from the fact that we didn’t have to cancel any events, I thought it was a great meet.” DAMIAN MULINIX/FOR EO MEDIA GROUP Seaside’s Phoenix Johnson set a new PR and took third in the boys high jump at Saturday’s home meet, clearing 5-feet-8. athletes competing. Athletes from Astoria and Seaside won 19 of the 34 events, with only one near-meet record. Of course, the defending state champion Astoria girls had a dominant day on the track, with wins and impressive performances from, among others, Natalie Cummings, McKenzie Burnett and newcomer Sam Hemsley. Ear- ly-season leg issues limited Darian Hageman, who finished second in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. And the Seaside boys flexed their muscle on the track, from sweeping the relays to the middle distances (Juneau Meyer in the 400 meters, Jackson Januik in the 800); to the long distances (Bradley Rzewnicki in the 1,500, Rafi Sibony in the 3,000 meters). The highlight race of the meet was a fa- miliar one — Astoria’s Lucas Caruana going head-to-head with Januik in the 800. Caruana — third place in the state meet last year — led for over half the race, before Twelve schools The annual “Daily A” meet showcases ath- letes from the local schools, plus a few out-of- towners for a one day event, hosted this year by the Gulls. The meet is never team-scored, but with a few state champions and state-placers in most of the events, there’s never a shortage of ex- citement at the Daily A. Twelve schools took part, with 300-plus Januik — the defending state champion in the 800 — passed Caruana on the final lap to win in 1 minute, 59.31 seconds, just off the meet record of 1:59.27, set by Astoria’s Jeremy Matlock in 1993. “That was just fun to watch,” Kilday said. “Without each other, I don’t know if they would have been able to run what they did. “I’d say those two are the top two, not only in the Cowapa League, but in the state at the 4A level,” he said. “And they do a great job of working together to make each other bet- ter. You usually don’t see Astoria and Seaside working together like that, but those two do it well.” Seaside’s Will Garvin added a victory in the 300-meter hurdles, after a rough start left him fourth out of five runners in the 110-meter hurdle race. “I look at the 300 as my redemption race, for whenever something doesn’t go as planned in the 110s,” Garvin said.

Gulls win Clatsop Clash By Gary Henley Seaside Signal WARRENTON — The Sea- side boys golf team shot a season low score and improved to 1-1 in Cowapa League play April 6, with a 366-406 victory over Astoria in golf’s version of the Clatsop Clash at the Astoria Golf & Country Club. Seaside’s Jackson Kunde was medalist with an 86. The Gulls’ Samson Sibony was second with a 90, followed by Connor Merrell (92), Mason Shamion (98) and Colby Lupfer (99). The Gulls have been able to lower their team score every time out so far this season. All but one member shot a season-low Thurs- day. “We are moving in the right di- rection,” said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch. “We dropped another 16 strokes from our last match. If John Whittle’s JV score had count- ed, we would have dropped anoth- er six. “Jackson (Kunde) played 16 good holes today,” he said. “He followed a triple bogey with a six- putt, quadruple bogey on the front. If not for those two holes, he might have snuck into the 70’s for the first time.” SEASIDE SPORTS SUPERFANS SEASIDE WELLNESS CENTER Mental Health Therapy Children, Adolescents, and Adults 503.717.5284 seasidewellnesscenter.net go gulls!
