Msvl. WA—As spring sports wrap up, we are taking a moment to congratulate and showcase six high school student-athletes on their hard work and dedication, which enabled them to compete in the WIAA State competitions in their sport.
Marysville Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell High Schools sent athletes to the 3A WIAA State Track and Field Meet held yesterday, May 23, through Saturday, May 25, at the Mount Tahoma High School Stadium in Tacoma, Washington. Gianna Frank, a senior from Marysville Pilchuck, will compete in the Girls' Shot Put this morning and in the Girls’ Discus Throw on Saturday afternoon. Later today, 10th-grade Maya Velasquez, also from MPHS, will compete in the Girls’ High Jump. Marysville Getchell senior Shawn Etheridge will compete tomorrow in the Boys’ Long Jump. At the District 1 Track and Field Championships, Shawn’s jump distance of 21 feet and 9.75 inches earned him second place.
Tulalip Heritage High School seniors Lincoln Pablo and Tieriana McLean had fantastic golf seasons, leading them to Tumwater, Washington, for the 1B/2B WIAA State Golf Championships on Tuesday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 22. Tieriana placed 19th after qualifying for both days of the competition, and Lincoln tied for 38th place on Tuesday. The Tulalip Heritage Hawks Golf Team is only in its second year.
