Raymond wins 10th combined trophy at Henrie-Weisel Meet

The Raymond Seagulls took both the boys and girls team titles to win the overall combined trophy at the Henrie-Weisel Tri-District Meet on Thursday, April 7, at the Don Weisel Oval on the campus of South Bend High School.

The competition was fierce at the three-team Pacific County meet featuring South Bend, Willapa Valley and the aforementioned Seagulls.

Raymond won the boys competition with 78 points, followed by South Bend (60) and Willapa Valley (29).

Raymond got event wins from senior Jaxson Freeman (100 meters, 200, shot put), Austin Snodgrass (1,600), Tanner Bayless (3,200), Morgan Anderson (110 hurdles, triple jump) and Tre’ Seydel (300 hurdles, long jump).

South Bend’s boys were led by Robby Stigall, who picked up wins in the discus and javelin, and Brandon Vongmixay, who won the 800 meters with a personal-best time of 1:01.31.

The South Bend 4×100-meter relay team of Judah Milton, Ferrill Johnson, Liam Parkins and Trevor Toepelt also won what was arguably the most exciting race of the meet by holding off a late-charging Raymond team for a victory by 0.07 seconds.

Willapa Valley picked up event wins from Chris Western, who took the pole vault event with a personal-best mark of 12 feet flat, and Tyson Portmann, who winced in pain in what appeared to be a hamstring injury as he crossed the finish line first in the 400, but later reported it was due to some minor leg cramping.

In the girls competition, Raymond’s Kyra Gardner cleared 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump — matching her previous season-best (second in state) — and won three additional events as the only four event winner of the meet to lead Raymond to a team victory with 72 points.

Willapa Valley (63) and South Bend (43) finished second and third, respectively.

The Seagulls also benefitted by event wins from Kendall Thompson (100) and Karsyn Freeman (pole vault).

“We had a bunch of kids step up and try some different events today and I was really happy with how everyone performed,” Raymond head coach Mike Tully said after the Seagulls claimed their 10th Henrie-Weisel trophy in the 10th year it has been awarded. “The kids take a lot of pride in that and it showed in their performances today.”

Willapa Valley sophomore Emily Wilson won both the 200 and 400 with teammates Brooklyn Strozyk and Jasmine Solso winning the 1,600 and 3,200, respectively.

Vikings senior Hannah Hamilton won the shot put with a personal-best 33-07, fellow senior Lanissa Amacher took the discus title (82-02) and Willapa Valley’s 4×200-meter relay team (Strozyk, Hamilton, Amacher, Wilson) also won on Thursday.

South Bend got event wins from Dakota Bale (300 hurdles), Hannah Jewell (javelin) the 4×100 and 4×400 relay teams.
