“Our girls worked hard to hold off Sequim,” Port Angeles girls track coach Bill Tiderman said.
“Great times and distances were hard to come by on a cold, windy track and field but the ladies got the places they needed to stay undefeated in the league so far.”
A few personal bests were recorded for the Port Angeles girls despite the weather, Tiderman added.

There were five double winners between Port Angeles and Sequim as Jolene Millsap and Willow Suess captured two wins each for the Riders and Jasmine McMullin took two events for the Wolves on the girls side.

Millsap took two of the three sprint events by winning the 100 meters in 13.01 and the 200 in 27.33 while Sequim’s Waverly Shreffler claimed the 400 in 1:07.83.
Suess took over in the distance events, taking the 800 run in 2:41.14 and the 3,200in 12:50.49.
McMullin, meanwhile, was first in long jump with a leap of 15 feet, 2 inches, and she took the gold in triple jump at 33 feet even.
Other area individual winners were Port Angeles’ Elizabeth Stevenson in the 1,600, Alexis Hefton in the discus and Brittany Norberg in the javelin, and Sequim’s Sarah Hutchison in 100 hurdles and Emily VanDyken in pole vault.
Norberg won by more than 20 feet as she threw the spear 104-04. The second-place throw was 83-10.
In addition, Olympic won the 4×100 relay while Sequim took the 4×200 event with McMullin, Hutchison, Hannah Hudson and Heidi Vereide, and Port Angeles won the 4×400 relay with Cassidy Hodgin, Madison St. George, Elyse Lovgren and Millsap.
In boys action, the Wolves won six individual events and swept the two relay races while Olympic won six events and the Riders took two.
Earning two wins were Sequim’s Yasumura in the 100 in 11.77 and the shot put with a heave of 48-09.5, a season best, and Brocklesby, who captured the high jump with a 6-foot even height, and the 400 in 52.88.
Other area individual wins went to Sequim’s Joshua Cibene in pole vault (10-06), Alex Barry in triple jump (38-05), and Port Angeles’ Kyle Tupper in 1,600 (4:38.74) and Tony Dalgardno in 800 (2:17.56).

Darrington 6,
Quilcene 5
DARRINGTON — A solid outing by eighth-grade pitcher Bailey Kieffer was spoiled by fielding errors and subpar hitting.
Kieffer pitched all six innings for the Rangers, who were without ace Sammy Rae.
“Boy, she pitched a good won,” Quilcene coach Mark Thompson said.
“Offensively, we just weren’t very good.”
The Rangers struck out 13 times and in the seventh inning stranded the tying run on second base with no outs.
Quilcene also committed three errors, which led to three unearned runs.
“We beat ourselves,” Thompson said. “That was a game we should have won.”
Freshman Megan Weller had two triples and an RBI, and Alexis Gray came of the bench to belt a pinch-hit double in the sixth inning.
Emily Ward and Jerrica Viloria had Quilcene’s other hits.
Rae missed the game with a minor back strain. Thompson said she probably could have played, but the decision was made to err on the side of caution.
The Rangers travel to Auburn today to play a doubleheader with Muckleshoot.

Rochester 3, 8,
Forks 2, 7
ROCHESTER — The Spartans dropped a pair of competitive one-run games to the Warriors, including a 3-2 nine-inning loss in the opener.
“It was a really good all-around game,” Forks coach Wayne Daman said of the first game.
The Spartans took a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning on runs by Mark Jacobson and Reis Lawson. But, that was all the runs they would score in the game.
“From that point, they shut down our sticks,” Daman said.
Rochester score a run in the sixth and another in the seventh to force extra innings, and then won the game with a bases-loaded walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth.
Forks’ Javier Contreras pitched seven innings for the third straight outing.
“He was really effective on the mound,” Daman said. “We got the lead and he held it for as long as he could.”
The second game was more of an offensive slugfest.
The Spartans jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Warriors responded with six straight runs.
Forks fought back to take a 7-6 lead with four runs in the top of the fifth inning before Rochester plated two in the bottom of the fifth.
Lawson was 4 for 4 at the plate and drove in a run for the Spartans.
Forks returns to action Tuesday when it plays at Montesano.
