Peterson was joined on the boys side by 3,200 champion John Christian (9:53.39) and top shot putter Spencer Moorman (52-2).

Brad Garrett was the other Rider runner-up, finishing second in the 800 in 2:10.26.

On the girls side, freshman Kathryn Moseley out-dueled classmate Kiah Jones for the 400 title, finishing in 1:03.40 to Jones’ 1:04.99. Meanwhile, Elise Reid tossed the discus 83-4 to narrowly beat Rider teammate Kiana Andrus (83-02).

Other Rider winners included Alison Maxwell in the 3,200 (13:00.05), Angela Pruitt in the pole vault (8-0) and Cece Stevenson in the 300 hurdles (48.09).

Stevenson also finished second in the 100 hurdles by eight hundredths of a second (16.60).

The Port Angeles 4-by-400 relay team of Lizzy Moriarty, Abbie Moseley, Stevenson and Kathryn Moseley won in 4:19.11.
