SPORTS: Crescent dominates North Olympic League championships

JOYCE — Joel Williams won four events and Zuzana Jakubkova was a triple winner for Crescent at the North Olympic League track and field championships Wednesday at Crescent High School.

The Loggers easily won both the boys and girls titles as Williams captured individual wins in the javelin, 400-, 800- and 1,600-meter runs.

“That was a wicked combination for Joel,” Crescent coach Darrell Yount said.

“He didn’t have great marks but we just wanted him to win four events.

Basically, we wanted him to conserve energy to win the three running events.”

The Crescent boys won with 94 points with Neah Bay second with 37 and Clallam Bay third with 30.

The Logger girls captured first with 98, followed by Clallam Bay with 36 and Neah Bay with 17.

The Crescent boys 4×100 relay team had a scorching time of 46.95 seconds with Dylan Christie, Beau Bamer, Eric Larson and Kyle Hutto competing.

“That was extremely fast and puts our time with the state leaders,” Yount said.

Crescent’s goal was to win both titles, and the team competed at a high level, Yount added.

“I’m really proud of our athletes,” he said.

“Everyone competed at a high level. It was good to get the team titles.”

Jakubkova, meanwhile, won the 800, 200 and 3,200 for the Loggers.

Meet double winners were Matthew Waldrip of Crescent in the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles, Titus Pascua of Neah Bay in the 100 and long jump, Crescent’s Kailee Rose in the 1,600 and 400, Neah Bay’s Courtney Winck in the long jump and triple jump, Mike Zapien of Crescent in the shot put and discus and Clallam Bay’s Kirstin Erickson in the disucs and javelin.
