BAKER TRACK & FIELD: Bulldogs do well at Hermiston meet

Published 6:00 am Monday, May 1, 2023

HERMISTON — The Baker track and field teams had a strong meet against several larger schools from Oregon and Washington at the Kiwanis Twilight Invitational Friday, April 28 at Hermiston.

The Baker boys placed fourth with 100 points. Chiawana of Pasco, Washington, was first with 177 points.

In the girls meet, Baker was fifth with 64 points. Hermiston won the team title with 219.5 points.

“This was a limited entry meet, and so these were our top four kids vying for district positions,” Baker coach Suzy Cole said. “We feel very good that we are progressing in the way we need to to be competitive in districts and state. We are very excited about the hard work that the athletes continue to put in.”

In the girls meet, Kayla Coley and Claire Bachman continue to improve, Cole said, with Coley running a personal best in the 100 at Hermiston, and Bachman with a personal best in the 200.

Anna Belding had a PR in the 400 and Emma Timm in the 800. Jozie Ramos had PRs in the shot put and javelin, and Skye Smith also set a personal best in the shot put.

The Kiwanis Twilight is a favorite event as it includes the steeplechase, a distance race in which runners have to leap hurdles and run through water.

Baker’s Daniel Brown won the boys steeplechase and teammate Jordan Mills was second. Sofie Kaaen was second in the girls steeplechase.

On the boys side, William Spriet had PRs in the 200 and 400, and Malaki Myer had a PR in the 400, placing fourth.

Mike Gentry had a lifetime PR in the shot put and Tate Powell had a lifetime best throw in the discus. Reeve Damschen won the pole vault, clearing 12 feet.

Baker’s 4×400 relay team placed second, running eight seconds faster than in any previous race this season. Team members are Thaddeus Pepera, Jaron Long, Giacomo Rigueiro and Myer.
