Invitational track meet returns to Snoqualmie


April 17, 2012 · 3:27 PM

It’s been more than 20 years since Mount Si High School hosted a major, competitive invitational track meet.

On Saturday, April 21, the Mount Si Invitational Track Meet returns to Snoqualmie for the first time since 1990. Participating teams include 2A, 3A and 4A schools from the greater Puget Sound area: Clover Park, Sequim, Hazen, Holy Names, O’Dea, Graham-Kapowsin, Marysville-Pilchuck, Snohomish, and the home ‘Cats.

Spectators will see some of the best high school level competition of the season so far in both track and field events. Old record could fall, but Bill Robey’s Mount Si 300 meter hurdles meet record of 40.75 set in 1985 could be tough to reach. Top athletes to watch at the meet include Totum Taylor from O’Dea in both the 100 and 200 meter sprints, Mount Si’s Bradley Stevens in the javelin, Kevin Yates of Snohomish in the long jump, Cecilia Jackson from Holy Names in the 100 meter hurdles, and Summer Cull of Marysville-Pilchuck in the pole vault.

Admission is $5. Events start at 11 a.m.
