CHS Track & Field Competes at Oregon Relays at Historic Hayward Field
The Camas High School Track & Field Team competed in their first round of events at the Oregon Relays in Eugene, OR, on April 20. The setting at Historic Hayward Field was majestic with an enthusiastic crowd, sunny skies and 70-degree weather. It was amazing.
College and high school teams from several states and British Columbia compete in the annual event at Hayward Field, which is the home of the Track & Field Olympic Trials.
“This place has a lot of history,” said co-Head Coach Alisa Wise. “A lot of dreams have been realized here.”
Lyndsey Wourms and Megan Napier competed in the Girl’s 3000m race and placed tenth and 16th, respectively. Andrew Kaler and Andrew Duffy also competed in the Boy’s 3000m race. Kaler got ninth place with a time of 9:00; and Duffy placed 11th.
“I’m having a great time,” said Kaler. “I got nine minutes in the 3000m and I’m a bit sore but I’m excited to compete in the 1500m tomorrow.”
The Camas Girl’s Distance Medley Relay team (Camille Parsons, Kimi Knight, Austen Reiter and Alexa Efraimson) placed second with a time of 12:12.11 and broke the CHS record for that event.
The Boy’s Distance Medley Relay team (John Doyle, Kyle Schrader, Jackson Cutler and Tucker Boyd) placed ninth, and just missed scoring. First through eight place scores.
Daniel Ryan cleared his opening height in the High Jump and Paige Jackson competed in the Pole Vault. Triton Pitassi competed in the Shot Put.
In all, 28 CHS student athletes are competing at Oregon Relays this year.
