Cascade track and field team eyes state berths at upcoming meet

Posted

Really, it was nothing more than a tune up match for the big one this week. The Caribou Trail League meet was held May 10 at Peshastin. The Cashmere won the boys’ competition with 95 points. Okanogan won the girls’ competition with 115 points. 

The Cascade boys were fifth, the girls were third. 

Senior Erin Mullins was in fine form, setting two league records in the 3200 and 800. 

“She currently holds the 1600 league record so it is a clean sweep for her holding all three distance races,” said Cascade Head Coach Bill Davies. 

Junior Ashley Parton had a great day, winning the 100 hurdles and placing second in the long jump, 300 hurdles and anchoring the 4x100 relay. 

“Sprinters Emily Gaines and Addie Astell also placed and were members of the relay team. I was impressed with freshman Kascia Muscutt who ran a great 800 and also ran the relay,” Davies said. 

For the boys, the 4x400 relay team consisting of Jayden Disher, Teague Duncan, Steven Tvetin, and Eli Fishburn won their race and are hoping to qualify for state. 

“Eli Fishburne also won the 800. Freshman Teaque Duncan ran a great 400 meters and 200 meters. He is a really fast freshman and I think we’ll see big things from him in the future. This week is the district qualifier for state. Hopefully, we will get several athletes to state.

The District 6 1A Championship Meet is Thursday at Cashmere.
