TriDistrict Track
King's dominates Class 1A district track meet Herald staff SHORELINE -- The King's boys track and field team won state the past two years and three of the past four, and its looking like three in a row is within reach.
The King's boys crushed the field scoring 158 team points, 65 ahead of second place Charles Wright Academy and had multiple state qualifiers Saturday at the 1A Tri-District meet at King's high school. King's, along with the other boys teams of Charles Wright Academy, Bellevue Christian, Cedar Park Christian, Lynden Christian, and Meridian will all be invited to state, held at Eastern Washington University this Saturday.
"It looks like King's boys team will have a good chance to win again this year," King's head coach Daunte Gouge said. "Traditionally, if you place well in this Tri-District, you will do well in state."
King's Josh Fuller won the 100 meter (11.05 seconds), 200 meter (22.43), 400 meter (49.91), and was the anchor of the winning 1,600 meter relay (3:30.51) team. Last year, Fuller won the 100, 200, and 400 meter state events.
Gouge said the best race on the boys side was the 1,600 meters, where seven runners qualified for state, running times under four minutes, 35 seconds. The top five finishers all ran times under 4:26. Coupeville's Tyler King finished third in the event at 4:24.50.
"It was a great race from start to finish, easily all those guys will be fighting for a title," King's head coach Daunte Gouge said. "It was just an awesome day, weather and all and the competition was amazing."
King's Kyle Talbot set a meet record in the high jump, clearing the bar at six feet, four inches. The Knights' Curtis Clauson broke the old meet record of 39.9 seconds in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 39.51.
The Knights girls team also dominated, scoring 125 points. Bellevue Christian (100), Meridian (58), Seattle Academy (57), and Nooksack Valley (55) also punched their tickets to state.
The girls 200 meter race was a spectacle, as the top five finishers were within four-tenths of a second of each other. Li Murphy (26.56 seconds) of Annie Wright finished ahead of Seattle Christian's Lexi Petersen (26.76) and Meridian's Alicia Wolf (26.84).
The Knights' Olivia Thomas won the 800 meter race in 2:18.47, and placed second in the 1,600 meter at 5:00.34.
