MONMOUTH, Ore. — Former Port Angeles High School standout Cody Sullivan was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s baseball player of the week last week.
Sullivan, a senior outfielder at Western Oregon University, batted 6 for 14 with a double, two home runs and six RBIs in the Wolves’ four-game sweep of Central Washington last week.
In the series finale, Sullivan was 3 for 4 and drove in two runs.
The 2011 Port Angeles graduate leads Western Oregon in homers with five. He also is tied for the team lead in doubles with five and runs with 18, and is second in RBIs with 16.
The Wolves were selected as the GNAC’s team of the week. They entered the four-game road series with a 5-8 conference record. The Wildcats, meanwhile, sat in the first or second spot in the standings all season.
The sweep moves Western Oregon up to second place in the GNAC.

Alex Barry takes second
LACEY — Western Washington University freshman Alex Barry (Sequim, 2015) placed second in the javelin in his first college meet, Saint Martin’s University’s SMU Open.
Barry, who won the Class 2A state javelin title last year, threw 195 feet, 8 inches at Saturday’s meet. His best mark at Sequim was 186-04, so he has already added more than 9 feet since last spring.
Barry was only 8 inches short of first-place finisher Cole Sunkel of Olympic College, who won the 4A javelin title for South Kitsap in 2015.
Two seconds for Braithwaite
TACOMA — Cameron Braithwaite (Port Angeles, 2012) earned a pair of runner-up finishes for the University of Puget Sound at its Peyton Scoring Meet late last month.
Braithwaite took second in the pole vault with a height of 13 feet, 5.25 inches. He also was part of the Loggers’ 4×400-meter relay that finished second with a time of 3 minutes, 31.81 seconds.
At last weekend’s SMU Open at Saint Martin’s University, Braithwaite had four top-five showings: fourth in the triple jump (43-0.5) and the pole vault (14-01.25) and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles (16.12 seconds) and the 4×100 relay (44.39 seconds).
Millsap third in relay
LACEY — Jolene Millsap (Port Angeles, 2014) helped Olympic College place third in the 4×100-meter relay at Saint Martin’s University’s SMU Open last weekend.
