finish in Mount Si history with a total of 41′ 5 ¼”. Nick Verbon dominated
the hurdles winning the 110 high hurdles in a time of 16.15 and the 300
hurdles in 44.33 seconds.
MJ Crandall turned in a blazing performance in the 800 meters with
a time of 2:06.8, tying his personal best. Newcomer Ben Eaton attacked
the long jump, soaring to 19′ 8 ¼ inches for first place. His mark was
nearly two feet more than any of his competitors’.
Austin Bachelder broke his personal record in the shot put,
winning the event with a throw of 42′ 9″.
Jesse Bauman took top honors in the javelin, throwing 146′ 1″, while
