'HoPROSSER - The Grandview High School boys track team finished Thursday's four-school meet in Prosser with a second place showing and the girls came away with third place honors.
Brittnee Sanchez of Grandview continued to shine with three first place finishes during yesterday's meet against Prosser, East Valley and Connell.
Sanchez came out on top in the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:46.07 and was first in the 800-meter run in a time of 2:34.46. Sanchez's third victory was as a member of the 4x400-meter relay team. She and teammates Giovani Gomez, Krystal Martinez and Kealey Johnston gained first place honors with a time of 4:29.02.
"We still have a lot of athletes trying to figure out what events they want to do this year," said Grandview High School track coach Jared Lind. "Brittnee has had a great start to the year and looks to drop her times each week."
The Grandview girls team also saw 300-meter hurdler Jessie Reynolds finish her event in a respectable time of 51.09.
According Lind, Anna George of Grandview is the one to watch in the discus events. "She is one of the top discus throwers in the Lower Valley," he said.
George placed second with a throw of 124 feet, six inches during Thursday's events.
Prosser High School won the girls meet with 91 points and Grandview finished with a team total of 47 points.
Lind said, "Many girls had personal bests and made some impressive improvements from last Saturday's Toppenish Invite. It will be exciting to watch our young team improve each week."
The Grandview boys came away with 70 points for their second place finish. The Prosser boys won the meet with 102 points.
"A lot of personal bests and some impressive marks, especially Joe Babcock's triple jump were seen during this meet," Lind stated. He said Babcock's first place 43-3.5 triple jump will be one of the longest in 2A this early in the season.
The boys team's strongest finishes came from Storm Shea, who participated in the pole vault. Shea came away with first place honors with a vault of 10 feet, 6 inches.
Viano Perez of Grandview competed in the 400-meter dash. Perez completed the race in 55.64 seconds for a second place showing.
Teammate Jordan Sanchez also came away with second place honors in the 3200-meter run. He finished in 11:02.62 against his competitors. Sanchez competed in the 1600-meter run and achieved third place honors in 4:59.81.
Another second place finish came with Keagan Christansen's discus event. Christansen threw a distance of 124-4 in the event.
The boys 4x400-meter relay team rounded out the second place wins in 3:41.04. The team included Matt Concienne, Viano Perez, Jordan Murataya and Juan Razo.
Murataya was strong in the 400-meter dash, coming away with third place honors in a time of 56.19 seconds.
Concienne participated in the long jump event. His 19-3 jump garnered him a third place showing.
Another third place finish was achieved by Freddy Rodriguez. Rodriguez threw 42-0 in the shotput.
Overall, Lind was impressed with the Greyhounds' showing. He felt the team is showing great improvement and will continue to do well in later competition.
"We look forward to competing against Prosser in our first league meet next Tuesday," he said.

By JEFF VANDERFORD

The South Whidbey track and field team continued to dominate early this season, with the girls and boys taking first and second in a four-way league match-up Thursday.
The Falcon girls won first place with 106 points, the boys second with 75, in the meet at Kings High School against league opponents Granite Falls (23/11), Cedarcrest (28/31.7) and Kings (101/117). The Tigers finished the meet at Granite Falls 23/11, the Red Wolves 28/31.7, and the Knights 101/117.
The boys
Falcon freshman sprinter Jon Poolman led the 100-meter race with a time of 11.54 seconds. Eric Stallman took third with 11.80.
Poolman and Chandler Thompson combined for a one-two knockout with 23.41 and 24.22 in the 200. Scott Stallman was first in the 400 at 56.34.
The boys didn’t fare as well in distance runs, but freshman Jordan Thornley brought in a third in the 3200 with 11:55.27.
Andy Bennett jumped the high hurdles in 46.44, good enough for second.
In field events, David Monell put his shot 38 6-75 for third place while junior Cory Soto threw his javelin 119-9, also for third.

Girls Track and Field | Fast times for orange and blur
By John Boyle
Special to The Seattle Times
PREV 1 of 2 NEXT
MARK HARRISON / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Sophomore Charnay Combs, talking with sprints coach Eric Metcalf, is one of the latest Rainier Beach sprint sensations.
Charnay Combs and Dyneeca Adams sat in the bleachers at a recent assembly, Rainier Beach's track present watching as the past was honored.
For Combs, a sophomore, and Adams, a junior, it was impossible not to feel the burden of high expectations as Ginnie Powell had her track jersey retired two months ago.
In recent years, wearing the Vikings' orange and blue track uniform, especially for the girls, comes with the pressure to run fast. And since both won state championships last year -- Combs in the 200 meters and Adams in the 400 -- Beach's latest track successes can't avoid begin compared to past stars.
From 1999 to 2002, Powell dominated the hurdles, setting state records in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles that still stand. She went on to an All-American career at USC and is the defending NCAA and U.S. champion in the 100 hurdles.
Two years behind Powell at Rainier Beach was Jacqua Williams, who won three straight state titles in the 100 and 200, and was also a state long-jump champion. Williams is a sophomore at Georgia Tech competing in basketball and track and field.
"After winning state last year, that puts some pressure on me because so much is expected," said Adams. "It's a lot of pressure, but it's also good motivation."
For Combs, who grew up running for the Rainier Beach Community Center, comparisons to Williams started at an early age.
Athletes to watch
Devin Brooks, Sr., Holy Names -- Three-time Class 3A state champ in 100 hurdles.
Charnay Combs, So., Rainier Beach -- 3A state champ in 200, second in 100 last year.
Dyneeca Adams, Jr., Rainier Beach -- 3A state champ in 400.
Brittany Aanstad, Sr., Lake Stevens -- 4A state champ in javelin.
Bianca Greene, Jr., Garfield -- 4A state champ in 200.
Olivia Sylvester, So., Seattle Prep -- Won 3A state title in 800.
Katrina Drennen, Sr., Sumner -- 4A runner-up in 3,200 also one of state's best in 1,600, 800.
Lindsey Moore, So., Kentwood -- Basketball star also one of state's top high jumpers.
Amanda Stewart, Sr., Decatur -- Fourth at state in 4A high jump.
Alisa Bryant, Sr., Inglemoor -- Third at state in discus, fifth in shot.
Tiffany Tibbot, Jr., Skyline -- Fourth in 4A 100, third among 100 and 200 returnees in all classifications.
John Boyle
And while she knows that her state title in the 200 and runner-up finish in the 100 will put a target on her for the rest of prep career, Combs isn't bothered when her name is thrown around with the likes of Jacqua and Ginnie.
"Everybody that runs track here looks up to her," Combs said of Powell. "She did well here and in college, which is what I want to do too. It's motivating to try to live up to that and be like her."
Combs, nicknamed "Naynay," posted times of 12.06 seconds in the 100 and 24.71 in the 200 last year. Both rank as fifth best in state history for a freshman.
"I see a lot of good things for her," said Eric Metcalf, one of Rainier Beach's sprint coaches. "As long as she stays focused and doesn't worry about the pressure of what everyone expects of her, she'll be able to do some very good things. I noticed this year that she's willing to do more than she has been in the past, knowing that she has that target on her back."
Metcalf, who ran track and played football at the University of Texas and was a three-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, also coached Williams on his summer team, Seatown Express. He pointed out that Combs had better freshman times than Williams.
While Combs has been a top sprinter for her age group for years, Adams' state title was something of a surprise. She never had success or liked running the 400 and reluctantly ran the event early last season because "Eric made me run it," she said.
As her times plummeted, Adams began enjoying the event many track experts consider the most grueling.
"My first few times running it, I was running 1:05, 1:04, but then I ran a 58 when I had more competition," Adams said of last year's rapid improvement. "Once I realized I could run it, then I started loving it."
At state, she ran 56.79 to win the Class 3A state title. Over the summer, she improved to 56.43.
"She's willing to work," said Metcalf. "The key with a 400 runner is, you have to be willing to go through that pain. The key is her mental toughness. She doesn't mind working hard."
Adams and Combs, whether they like it or not, are already drawing comparisons to the school's past track stars. And as they watched Powell's jersey being retired two months ago, they couldn't help but dream.
"Hopefully, we can be in that same position one of these days," Adams said.

ANACORTES SEAHAWKS
Coach: Case de Vries
Top athletes: Josh Freeman, Sr., jumps, sprints; Thomas Kassa, Fr., jumps, sprints; Danny Lindstrom, Jr., distance; Travis McBee, Sr., PV; Bo Oglesbee, Sr., javelin; Carlos Pagan, Jr., throws; Chris Pelletier, Jr., distance; Austin Portis, Jr., throws; Shaun Remmenga, Sr., throws; Thomas Stoneham, Jr., sprints; Spencer Wilhelm, Jr., hurdles.
Outlook: Even though he’s a freshman, Kassa has already won a handful of events against NWC competition. The athletic Freeman is good in the jumps, especially the long jump. Anancortes should have a handful of athletes contend for state berths, but the Seahawks will likely be overmatched by stronger and deeper NWC teams for the league title.
BELLINGHAM RED RAIDERS
Coach: Bill McClement
Top athletes: Chris Kwiatkowski, Sr., middle distance; Brocken Baltrus, Sr., middle distance; Adam Bodyen, Jr., middle distance; Matthew McClement, Jr., middle distance; Graham Thomas, Jr., middle distance; Logan Darling, Jr., sprints, hurdles; JT Fitzgerald, Jr., sprints, hurdles; Robby Robinson, Sr., sprints hurdles; Brian Dundas, Sr., sprints, hurdles; Ernie Starcevic, Fr., sprints, hurdles; Kyle Stewart, So., throws; Luke Lockwood, So., throws; David Waddell, So., throws; Luke Brog, So., jumps; Jason De La Vega, Jr., jumps; Stevenson Tran, Jr., PV.
Outlook: Kwiatkowski is a threat to win the 1,600 and 3,200 this spring. He lost the mile by two-tenths of a second last year and his victory in the 3,200 was voided after race officials questionably disqualified him. Darling is Bellingham’s other state returnee â€â€

Monarchs' VanZanten continues to raise the bar
By Rick S. Alvord

A sheepish smile engulfs Ross VanZanten's face when asked if he has seen the movie "White Men Can't Jump."
Saw it. Thought it was funny.
And although the Mark Morris High School junior possesses a slight resemblance to the backward-cap, baggy-shorts, tie-dye-shirt-wearing Woody Harrelson in the 1992 box-office hit, further comparisons end there.
VanZanten can jump. Oh, how he can jump.
At 6 feet even, he can easily dunk a basketball with two hands. He was a key reserve for the Mark Morris basketball team, which finished second in the state tournament earlier this month at the Tacoma Dome.
During the Monarchs' first-round win over Clarkston, VanZanten attempted a dunk late in the game on a drive to the basket from the free-throw line.
It rattled out. "My friends would have gotten on me if I hadn't tried it," VanZanten said. "My teammates said I showed guts for trying."
But it's in track and field where VanZanten's natural springs are on full display.
He's one of the top 100-meter high hurdlers in Southwest Washington, settling for an eighth-place medal in last year's state finals after hitting a hurdle late in the race. And, after competing in just one meet this season, VanZanten already has established himself as the state's No. 1 high jumper in all classifications.
His leap of 6 feet, 8 1/4 inches in the Longview Rotary Relays on March 17 broke MM's 30-year-old school record (6-7 by Alan Taylor in 1977). The jump would have won last year's Class 2A state meet by more than 5 inches and the 3A meet by more than 2 inches.
The only athlete in the state with a jump even close to VanZanten's in the early weeks of the season is Eric Greenwood of Edmonds-Woodway, a 4A school in the Seattle area. Greenwood broke the E-W record last week by clearing 6-7 in a four-way meet.
VanZanten now has his sights set on 6-10, which he just missed clearing on his first attempt moments after breaking the school record on St. Patrick's Day.
The weather hasn't even warmed up yet, so 6-10 isn't out of the question for later in the season.
And ... 7 feet, perhaps? "Oh yeah, that's my dream," said VanZanten, who sat out Tuesday's meet at Longview Memorial Stadium against R.A. Long and Castle Rock with a mildly hyperextended knee, an injury he sustained while hurdling at the Rotary Relays. "My goal this season was to break the school record, so now I'll have to reset my goals. I'll probably try to go up 1 inch at a time ---- 6-9, then 6-10. My 6-10 jump was close.
"If I can get 6-10, then who knows?" he said. "Seven feet is doable. If not this year, then next year ---- if I stay healthy."
Not bad for a kid who grew up watching his sister.
Kara VanZanten, a 2005 MM graduate who now competes in volleyball and track at Northwest University in Kirkland, went to state twice in the high jump and once held the school record in the pole vault.
So this wasn't any ordinary sister.
"I'm a visual learner, so watching my sister jump was good experience," VanZanten said. "My dad (Eric) is the sprints coach at Mark Morris, and he used to coach the pole vault and some throws at R.A. Long. So I kind of grew up around the track, just watching and taking it all in."
There was only so much VanZanten could learn by observing. The rest just came naturally.
He's gifted with extraordinary leaping ability for a rather ordinary looking 165-pound 17-year-old. And the progression has been rapid.
His personal best in the high jump in the seventh grade was 4-10. That improved to 5-6 in the eighth grade, 6-foot in the ninth and 6-5 last year. He placed third in the state meet as a sophomore with a leap of 6-4.
It didn't stop there. When basketball season arrived in November, VanZanten noticed a dramatic physical difference.
"I had more springs. I was getting higher. I could barely dunk before, and all of a sudden I was dunking two-handed," he said. "It was kind of weird, really. I'd worked out a little bit, but I think it was just more of a maturing thing."
Imagine VanZanten's surprise when he cleared 6-8 1/4 in the season's first meet, a day when the temperature barely broke 50 degrees.
"That really stunned me. I cleared 6-6 on my third (and final) jump, and I remember thinking that I was happy with that because it was a PR (personal record)," he said. "Then I decided to just go for it all (the school record), and it happened on my first jump. That surprised a lot of people ---- including myself.
"It was crazy. It had to be the best jump I've ever had," he said. "I remember thinking, 'Did that just happen?' It was kind of weird, to be honest."
Mark Morris track coach Sam Tilton was blown away by VanZanten's record-breaking performance.
"That's getting in rarefied air. It was highly unlikely for a kid coming off the basketball tournament just one week earlier," Tilton said. "To walk out there after basketball and jump that high ... that's something a kid might do in May, not in March.
"But that's indicative of where he's at with his skill level and body control," the MM coach added. "Ross also brings that mental ability to the event. He's able to block out all outside influences and get in the moment. If he stays healthy, he has the chance to be a 7-foot jumper."
If VanZanten manages to enter the elite 7-foot club, he just might have to pay a visit to the video store to remind himself of Woody Harrelson's leaping ability all over again.
"White men can't jump ... I guess I'm out to break that myth," he said with a laugh. "It was a good movie, but it's not always true."

When Shayna Shute practices to defend her state shot put title this spring, the scene may be surprising.
She stands in an asphalt parking lot, using a curb to simulate the edge of the ring, and tosses the shot into a field. At the other end of the lot, Shute practices discus by throwing over a chain-link fence into another open field.
This is how the Vancouver Christian senior and her teammates have to work out since the school lacks a track facility and other local tracks are often in use. It’s produced some uncomfortable moments â€â€

Bickleton's Hess scores well in discus, shotput at Yakima meet
By Lynda Jo Gross
YAKIMA - Bickleton's Eric Hess earned second and third place honors in the discus and shotput, respectively, at Riverside Christian's Papa Wells Invite in Yakima this past Saturday, throwing three feet past his personal best in the shotput.
Despite only throwing three preliminaries due to having to leave early, Hess earned second place honors in the discus, throwing 121-4.
Hess's third place 44-8 throw in the shotput is considered a "huge improvement," said Coach Darrell Lang.
"We believe in the new B1 school alignment that Eric is, or is probably real close to, being the state leader in both the shot and discus in the classification of small schools," said Lang.
Looking to crack or get close to the 13-minute mark in the 3,200-meter run, Lady Pirate Danielle Raschko narrowly missed the mark by seven seconds, earning second place honors with her time of 13:07.
"Danielle continues to improve on her times as she knocked off 30 seconds off her best time in the 3,200-meter from last year in taking a second place finish in a large field of runners," said Lang.
Returning from a foot injury, Bickleton's Patrick Meader was back on track, catapulting to third place honors in the pole vault at 10 feet. Lang said that Meader also "came very close" to clearing 10-6.
"He really looks a lot stronger this year with lots of room to increase his height," said Lang. "It was a really good first outing for him."
Lady Pirate Alejandra Molena placed fifth in the discus, throwing 86-10. Her brother and fellow Bickleton Pirate Edgar Molina earned sixth place honors in the shotput, throwing 36-4.5, a personal best for him.
"Young, big and strong, Edgar continues to improve every week as he (set personal records) in both of his events," Lang said.
Lang set there were other Bickleton athletes that, while they didn't score, they did set personal records, including senior Chelsey Mercer, who improved her long jump by a foot, leaping to a distance of 11 feet, 9 and a half inches.
Bickleton's Orion Yoesle cracked the six-minute mark in the 1,600-meter race, also setting a personal best at 5:58.
"Phylicia (Pearson cracked) the 80-0 mark in the javelin," added Lang.
The Pirates' next competition will be at Kiona Benton High School this Tuesday.

Vazquez third in two running events
By Jennie McGhan
YAKIMA - The Mabton High School track team this past Saturday competed at the Riverside Christian Invitational.
"It was a good first meet and I am very encouraged for the rest of the season," said Mabton High School track coach Scott Sexton.
Two third place finishes for Mabton's Sara Vazquez were the highlight of the meet for the Vikings. She ran the 800-meter run in 2:38 and the 1600-meter run in 5:38.
In the girls long jump, Daniela Aguilar of Mabton had a strong jump with 14-10.
"We have a young team this year with only three seniors returning. So, we are looking at a rebuilding this year," commented Sexton.
For the Mabton boys team, Robert Marquez threw 40-2 in the shotput and teammate Moises Gutierrez, looked strong in the long jump with a personal best of 19-1, according to Sexton.
The Viking boys' 4x100-meter relay team, consisting of Andy Rivera, Arnold Pineda, Hector Brambila and Moises Gutierrez finished with a strong showing of 48.6 and Sexton said he looks for them to be strong throughout the year.
"Many of the athletes have only one year of varsity experience and we have a large number of athletes for whom this is their first year of high school track," Sexton said.
The Vikings travel to Ki-Be on Tuesday, March 27.
