Easternoregonsports.com needs to explain a few things as this new track year opens. Unlike other media outlets, we provide more than the top three or five finishes for events. We believe every student athlete putting the effort forth deserves recognition. The runner finishing 28th did not work less than the runner crossing the tape in first. You will find every finisher in this article representing eastern Oregon schools. Yes, it is more work and yes, the article is long. But easternoregonsports is pleased you will find your favorite athlete no matter their finish.

NEW PLYMOUTH – The track and field teams of the Baker Bulldogs and La Grande Tigers jumped the border to New Plymouth, Idaho to get the season off to a start on Wednesday, March 15, taking part in the Pilgrim Spring Opener.

This meet did not keep team scores.

A few highlights for the Bulldog boys. Junior Malaki Myer took the top spot in the 100 meters, putting up a time of 11.81 seconds. In a race not even ran in Oregon (4-by-200 meters) the team of Rasean Jones, Myer, Sage Darlington and Kayden Garvin places second.

For the Bulldog girls, sophomore Sophia Kaaen grabs second in the pole vault after clearing 7 feet, 6 inches. Fellow sophomore Lilly Collins is fourth in the shot put with a throw of 76’11”.

For the La Grande boys, senior Landon Perry crossed the line in second place in the 3200 meters with a time of 10:52.74. Senior Myer Whitmore had the top spot in the shot put after a throw of 41 feet even. Freshman Lee Harris started his high school career with a third-place finish in the high jump after clearing 5’10”.

For the girls, the distance events continue to shine as the Tigers went one-two in the 3200 meters with sophomore Cecilia Villagomez taking first and freshman Brooke Perry taking second. Junior Emily Tubbs placed third in the 1600 meters. La Grande freshman continue to make news with Rowan Evans grabbing third in the 100-meter hurdles and Taryn Mcllmoil also taking third in the 300-meter hurdles.
