Celebrating a Southeast Conference crown is exactly what the Washington boys’ track team did last night when they bested the six-team field at Thursday’s conference meet in Keokuk.
The Demons compiled 162 points on the evening to beat out second place Fort Madison with 130. Seven events belonged to Washington including Lance Sobaski being a three-time champion. The junior won the 800m (2:01), 1600m (4:41), and 3200m (10:22). Reece Mayer had the beast heave in the discus (139’8.5’’), Ethan Patterson won the high jump (6’1’’), and Elijah Morris had the fastest time in the 400m (51.1). The one relay that nabbed first was the sprint medley consisting of Evan Miller, Wyatt Stout, Jacob Miller, and Morris (1:37). The Washington girls finished fourth in the team standings with 64 points and Fairfield ran away with the title compiling 198 points. Two relays claimed the top spot including the distance medley relay of Olivia Marek, Nevaeh Brown, Abby Kleese, and Grace Voss (4:44) as well as the 4x800m of Kleese, Iris Peterson, Taylor Bartholomew, and Voss (10:52). Voss picked up a second place finish in the 800m run (2:42).
