The longest continu-
ously running track and
field invite turns 52 this
year.
At 1 p.m. on Saturday,
Shelton is hosting its 52nd
annual Shelton Invitation-
al.
"This Saturday is the
granddaddy of all invita-
tionals in the state," Sells
said. "Our 52nd annual
Shelton Invite is the lon-
gest continuously running
invite in the state of Wash-
ington."
More than 75 teams are
entered for the invite this
year.
"Out of those teams,
we pick the top 16 ath-
letes in each event to pro-
duce such an outstanding
field to watch," Sells said.
"This track meet is so
great because it brings to-
gether a lot of community
members that volunteer
and help."
He said the Highclimb-
ers will have a few athletes
competing.
"Entries are still coming
in and we are still picking
our top 16 in each event,"
Sells said.
Prior to the Shelton In-
vite, the Highclimbers con-
tinued their regular meet
schedule.
Last week, the team
competed at two meets,
one at home and one on the
road.
On April 18, the High-
climbers hosted South Kit-
sap and Timberline. The
boys' team took third place
with 96 points while the
girls' team took third with
98 points.
"The team did the best
they could against South
Kitsap and Timberline
last week," SHS head
track and field coach Doug
Sells said. "Both are very
strong teams. South Kit-
sap has a large number of
athletes and Timberline
has some very talented in-
dividuals."
Sells said most of the
Highclimbers set per-
sonal records during the
meet.
"We are at the point
where everyone is im-
proving meet by meet," he
said.
He highlighted two
Highclimbers for outstand-
ing performances.
"Senior Roman Hurst
jumped 43'1" in the triple
jump," Sells said. "He is
only a foot and a couple
inches away from our
school record. It's going to
be fun to watch him break
it."
He said that freshman
Hannah Womer tied her
personal record in the
high jump with a height of
4'10".
"This ranks her fourth
in the 4A Narrows League,"
Sells said.
On Friday, the High-
climbers traveled to Yelm
for the Mountain Invita-
tional.
The boys' team took fifth
place out of 15 schools with
57 points while the girls'
team finished 12th out of
15 with 22 points.
"The Mountain Invite in
Yelm was a great meet for
the Highclimbers," Sells
said.
Senior Bryton Rodgers
won the pole vault with a
season personal record of
13'6", Sells said. This tied
his career personal record
for the pole vault.
"We saw sophomore
Cody Williamson run an
outstanding 3200 meter
race," Sells said. "Cody
battled his way to second
place and broke his per-
sonal record by almost 20
seconds."
He said senior Nathan
Morgan had a great third-
place finish in the 1600
meters, setting a personal
record at 4:29.77. His pre-
vious best time was 4:51.86
set last season.
"All-in-all, this was an
outstanding meet for us,"
Sells said. "We had a lot of
top eight finishes and a lot
of great performances."
"Our 52rid annuat Shelton nvite is the
longest continuously running invite in
the state of Washington°"
