Clark 2nd in javelin for Riders in early action

TACOMA — Port Angeles senior Teanna Clark wrapped up her prep javelin career with a runner-up finish at the Class 2A State Track & Field Championships on Friday at Mount Tahoma High School.

Her longest throw of 129-3 came in her fourth out of six attempts.

She was passed on the final attempt by Anacortes’ Elliott Davis, who threw the javelin 135-9.

Clark managed 126-11 on her final attempt. In three years of throwing the javelin at state, Clark finished third in her sophomore season, second in her senior season and first in her junior season.

Port Angeles’ Brody Pierce competed in the long jump Thursday, finishing eighth overall after achieving a length of 21 feet, 9.5 inches. Tumwater’s Jaxon Budd (24-2) won the event.
