Girls beat Cottage Grove, JC in track

It’s been a tough season for the Sweet Home track teams in terms of performing in front of their home crowd – it’s only happened once this year and that was Thursday, April 21.

The Huskies’ other home meet, scheduled for April 7 with La Pine and Sisters, was cancelled after the other two teams couldn’t make it because of snow on the passes.

The day was chilly but the Huskies put on a good show for the home crowd, as the short relay teams were characteristically dominant, even with girls anchor Maria Kropf sitting out to nurse a sore leg.

“We did that without Maria,” said Coach Billy Snow of the girls’ 83-63½ victory over Cottage Grove, with Junction City a distant third (32 1/2).

The boys were edged by Cottage Grove 70 ½ – 65 ½, with Junction City third (43).

Without Kropf, the girls got most of their wins on the track from the short relay, which ran 52.34 with Sabrina Davis stepping into the breach, and from the distance crew. Olivia Johnson won the 1500 (5:21.96) and Sami Webb won her first 3000 of the year in 12:53.60, running by herself most of the way, although both Webb and Johnson got to run against their younger brothers, David Johnson, a freshman, and Justin Webb, a sophomore, when Snow combined the boys’ and girls’ distance events. The brothers won.

On the field Annie Whitfield was a double winner for the Huskies, taking the javelin (124-3) and tying for first in the shot (31-7).

“That was her lifetime best and she is still rough with her form,” Snow said. “This year the shot put is down at the 4A level. It would be really neat for her to get out to 33 or 34 feet. “

Devyn Makin won the long jump with a leap of 15-1 and Laura Mauer won the discus in a season-best 89-5, less than a foot off her all-time best.

For the boys Alex Santana won the 200 in 23.01, Nick Hall the 400 in 51.33, and sophomore Daniel Danforth won the 800 – his first ever – in 2:12.76.

In the field Jake Johnson won the discus in 135-11 and Zach Jackson took the javelin with a throw of 170-07 and Harvir Grewel won the pole vault (9-6).

Snow said he was happy with some of the second- and third-place winners – Zane Jackson, who placed third behind his brother in the shot with a PR of 40-5, and Carissa Swanson, who was edged by Junction City’s Isabel Iboa at the finish line in the girls 800.

What has been a “wierd” season continues to be so as the Huskies move into May with a meet Thursday at La Pine, which will be missing a number of key athletes due to a choir trip. The only meet left after that, before the district competition, is at South Albany on Wednesday, May 4.
