Track: Oak Harbor finishes Wesco regular season

The Oak Harbor track teams competed in their final regular season Wesco meet Thursday, April 29, at Everett Memorial Stadium.

The meet was the first of two contests in two days for the Wildcats; therefore, the Oak Harbor coaches juggled the line up and limited the number of events for some of the athletes. The result was lower team scores than usual.

The Wildcats will take part in the Twilight Invitational in Mount Vernon Friday at 5:30 p.m.

The Everett boys won Thursday’s meet over Marysville-Pilchuck and Oak Harbor 92-63-26. The Tomahawks took the girls meet with 77 points; Oak Harbor earned 65 and Everett 43.

The only win for the Wildcat boys came in the long jump; Donovan Hunt (20-04) led a 1-2-3 Oak Harbor finish ahead of Josh Higbee (19-09.75) and Derrick Clarit (19-02).
