ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Nico Errichetti, East Jefferson track and field
Published 4:30 pm Monday, April 6, 2026
East Jefferson’s Nico Errichetti is off to a fast start this track season.
First, Errichetti won the 3,200-meter run at the Port Angeles Invitational on March 21, then he won the same race again at the 12-team Bedlington Twilight meet in Lynden with a personal-best time of 10 minutes, 6.08 seconds.
On Friday, Errichetti was part of two first-place relay teams at the Tenino Twilight, posting the top splits both in the 4×800 and the 4×400. Errichetti’s effort helped the Rivals boys win the team title in Tenino as East Jefferson won a total of five relay races. Joshua Yearian deserves mention for being part of three of those relay teams.
Errichetti even won the 10K at the non-preps Elwha Bridge Run held west of Port Angeles back in February.
With East Jefferson’s strengths in the relays and the distance runs, look for the Rivals to make a lot of noise all spring in track and field.
Athlete of the Week is sponsored by Swain’s General Store in Port Angeles.
