Aubry Botkin

Port Townsend’s Aubry Botkin was a double winner at this past weekend’s Port Townsend’s home track meetin.

Botkin won both the 100-meter hurdles and the triple jump at the event. It was Botkin’s fourth first-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles and her second first-place finish in the triple jump this season.

In fact, the only time she has been beaten in the 100-meter hurdles this year was at a 30-school meet, the Birger Solberg Invite, in which she lost to a pair of hurdlers from 3A and 4A schools.

Botkin finished second in the 100-meter hurdles last year at the state 1A meet and picked up an astounding total of 19 first-place finishes last season as an individual and relay member.
