NASELLE — Comet athletes took advantage of a home audience to bring out their best as they hosted the District 4B track meet last Wednesday.

Team scores put the boys in first place, just ahead of Pe Ell. The girls’ winning margin was out of sight of the next school, Mossyrock. Willapa Valley was third for boys and girls, with some solid performances, too.

In throwing events, sophomore Jessica Underhill had a PR of 82-6 for third in the discus, an event won by Willapa’s Sam Sheary. Sophomore Paige Haataja and Davis were fifth and sixth in the shot put.

As she did at South Bend a couple of weeks ago, Willapa Valley senior Emily Wilson won the 100, 200 and 400; she placed third in javelin. Junior teammate Jasmin Solso won both the 1,600 and 3,200. Naselle’s Karsen Green placed third in the 3,200.

Senior Derek Suomela won four events. He won the 400 with a season-best time of 51.99 and the 800 in 2:14.44, six seconds ahead of the second-place runner. He had a season best jump of 6 feet to win the high jump and won the long jump with 18-9.5, eight inches ahead of Valley’s Chase Porter.

NHS classmate Jacob Pakenen won the pole vault, equalling his PR of 12-6 ahead of teammates Jason Gardner and Reilly Browning; Pakenen was second in discus with a PR of 111-05 and fourth in long jump.

Eighth grader Gus Burkhalter won the triple jump with a PR of 37-8.75, while freshman teammate Andy Rosas improved his PR to 36-10.5 for third.

In the 3,200, freshman Caesar Garcia placed third.
