Excellence in Washington State Track and Field

They took out the 49ers, the Rams, then snuffed the life out of the team that triumphed over us in the most painful turnabout moment in NFL history. This is like the end of the Godfather, where Michael Corleone destroys his enemies one by one with brutality.

Unreal. Cinematic.

@northtacoma I saw it at N 43rd and Verde! Big healthy fella.

@golutes @BrantMcAdams Myself and a LOT of other people are going to miss that Thanksgiving day text. This dude was the real thing, genuinely about service and making the lives of others better. Every interaction with him kept me grounded and uplifted me simultaneously.

Final score for girls 3A are in: Tides girls will collect the 3rd place trophy for team track and field. We were just trying to get people here and shoot our shot. Kids did a great job all around and honored our culture of preparation and competition and we are SO PROUD!!

Karin Heikkila 4th in 300H! Absolutely great race in 44.66 for 2nd fastest ever at GH. Came a long way this year despite all sorts of obstacles and will be back and hungry in the future!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Senior Taylor Sletner 4th in 3200m, her final event as a Tide. She is one of the finest athletes and people to ever run for this program!

OMG!! GIRLS 4x1 HERING HEIKKILA HUMPHREY HARRUFF STATE CHAMPIONS SCHOOL RECORD 10 TEAM POINTS ALL THE GOOD THINGS AT ONCE!!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Wow! Boys 4x1 Morris Chavez Avelar Arnold Olsen ON THE PODIUM in 6th!! Proving yesterday was no fluke! Very very proud of this group of juniors!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Izzy Harruff lost a runoff for the last spot out of the league meet in 2024 as a frosh. Today she is 7th in state in the 100m and hungry for more. You’ve come a long way kiddo and we are so proud! More to go!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Today’s big start: a tired Lejla Carlsson nevertheless runs down 2 to finish 2nd in the 800m. New school record, breaking the great Michelle Teodoro’s record from 1995. What a run!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Opened up my feed to see I hadn’t finished pointing out that Karin Heikkila made finals despite a near fall in the 300H. Ranked 5th going in.

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Girls 4x1 Hering Heikkila Humphrey Harruff wins heat and autoqualifies 3rd overall! New school record 48.14 and absolutely no one thinks we can’t run faster. ON TO FINALS

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Well well well. Boys 4x1 of Morris, Chavez Avelar, Arnold, Olsen came into this meet ranked 17th, not slated for much for than a free dinner on Wednesday night. But competitors COMPETE, and I can proudly announce they are ON TO FINALS! Massive PR for 6th 42.75!!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Finals of the girls 100H just now. Massive lifetime best for Eisley Hering in 14.89 and equally big lifetime best for Karin Heikkila also up for 6th in 15.09!! Both into a significant headwind. This was a super tight race with many returnees…keep your eyes on these two. 👀

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

ALL THE THINGS LADIES…ALL THE THINGS!!!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Izzy Harruff in the 100m final! First tides girls in roughly three decades to do so. 12.28 lifetime best surviving a testy start (one DQ due to false start and one due to misfire.)

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Karin Heikkila with a little q to finals in a lifetime best 15.35!! Came in seeded 10th and had a REAL tough hurdle at #6 but recovered to qualify 7th. These kids COMPETED. On to finals!!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

Eisley Hering starts this meet off RIGHT. Comes into this meet as the number 11 seed. Qualifies in 4th. 15.18 just off Pb into a bit 1.8 headwind!!!

[Kevin Eager @TidesTrack]

This site feels like tweeting (or X-ing into the void?) these days. But I’m still gonna live TWEET this state meet when it matters. 😤
