Track and field traveled to Shasta College for the Shasta Invitational. After doing an exceptional job, Humboldt State walked away with their heads held high.
With a first place victory in the 800-meter track event, senior Andrew Wright had a time of 2 minutes and 0.19 seconds. Eric Malain won in the 1,500-meter with a time of 4:03.72, and senior Jasper Peach won in the 5,000-meter with a time of 15:31.82. For the field portion, junior Thomas Wilhelm made first place in discus with a toss of 153 feet, 1 inch. Senior Kyle Sherry took second place in the men's hammer with a distance of 161-0.
The ladies were shining just as bright as the men. Junior Beth Kreiger received first place in the hammer with a distance of 170-0. Senior Johanna Bailey took second place also in the hammer with a distance of 136-9. In javelin, junior Kelsey Lemke took first with a throw of 138-0, she also took third in the discus with a throw of 161-0. The women were relentless, as senior Heather Moulton took second in the 1,500 meters with a time of 5:12.75, and junior Brittany Peterson received second place overall in pole vault with a clearance of 11-0.
This weekend, April 26-27, a few athletes will travel to Eugene, Oregon, for the Oregon Invitational, and then will meet in Los Angeles May 1-2 for the CCAA meet.
