ILWACO — Eleven-year-old Adam Wilson was the big winner in the first ‘All-Comers’ meet of the season last week at Ilwaco High School, the annual track meet that welcomes kids and adults of all ages and abilities to run, jump and throw in a variety of traditional track and field events.
Adam Wilson, 11, was awarded four first-place ribbons, sweeping all of the individual running events including the 50 meter, 100 meter, 200 meter and 400 meter races.
Max Harrell, 7, was right behind Wilson in each race, taking second place in the heats. Max, along with seven-year-old Amelia Nesbitt, were the youngest participants in the meet. It was the first time attempting several of the events for Amelia, who got some assistance from Ilwaco track coach Crystal Bell.
“It went better than I thought,” Amelia said after attempting the baseball throw and javelin events for the first time.
In the field events, Lucas Binion, 13, took first place in the long jump and javelin. Binion had set the Ilwaco 7th-grade record earlier this season in the discus, with a throw of 115-feet-7.
