Easternoregonsports.com has picked up so many new followers, we need to explain a few things. 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.

COLLEGE PLACE, WA – The Tigers and Pioneers were out in force as the two representatives of Oregon as the La Grande and McLoughlin track and field teams battled Washington schools at the Hawk Invite on Saturday, March 26.

In the team scoring, the Tiger girls placed second while the Pioneers grabbed the seventh slot.

The future appears bright for the Tigers as freshman Kayle Collman picked up second place in the 100 meters followed by a fourth-place finish in the 200 meters. Sophomore Kiah Carlson was second in the 800 meters.

Tiger youth dominated the distance events also as freshman Cecilia Villagomez-Edvalson won the 1600 meters and was runner-up to teammate Emily Tubbs in the 3200 meters.

The youth also played a part for McLoughlin as sophomore Madi Perkins was second in the javelin event with freshman Addy Brown placing fifth. Perkins did grab a first-place medal as her leap in the triple jump was tops among the field.

The boys saw the Tigers pick up fifth place in the team scoring while McLoughlin followed in sixth.

Pioneer sophomore Johnny Koklich saw only one runner faster in the 200 meters, picking up a second-place showing.

La Grande junior Chaz Howard ran away from the rest of the field, taking first in the 800 meters.

The Pioneers look strong in the field events with senior Shaq Badillo winning both the shot put and discus events. Senior Leo Rodriguez helped the McLoughlin scoring with a win in the triple jump.
