Juniors Brandi Williams and Rachel O’Neil provided the fuel to drive the Ravens to a second-place team finish at the state 4A track and field championships last weekend at Mount Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma.

The Ravens – who edged out Curtis by a point for the district title on May 19 – fell shy to the Vikings for the 4A title. Curtis scored 62 points to Auburn Riverside’s 55.

O’Neil notched a first-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles with a 15.02-second time, edging Chiawana senior Sadie Sparks, who finished with a 15.04.

Williams, who won the long jump title last year, repeated with a 19-feet, 6 1/2-inch jump.

“It was exciting because it was a PR (personal record),” Williams said. “I’m hoping to go 20 (feet) soon, hopefully by this summer, but definitely by next year.”

Williams’ winning jump is 3.75 inches farther than her previous best of 19-3.75, set at the South Puget Sound League 4A meet on May 9.

Williams added a second in the 100 with a tome of 12.24, a little more than a second slower than the 12.11 personal best she set in the state prelims.

“It feels really good,” Williams said. “I got a really good start, powered out the blocks and just ran my hardest to the finish.”

Curtis’ Kennadi Bouyer was first in the 100 with a 12.10.

Williams also finished third with a 25.13 in the 200. Bouyer won the race in 24.95.

Also placing for Auburn Riverside was sophomore Brittni Williams, who was sixth in the long jump with an 18-0 mark, and senior Ali Rodseth, seventh in the long jump with a 17-09. Rodseth also finished fourth in the triple jump with a 36-08 mark.

In the distance events, senior Rachel Atwood capped her prep career with a third-place finish in the 3,200 with a 10:54.57.

The Montana State-bound Atwood also grabbed seventh in the mile with a 5:07.62.

In the 400 relay, the Raven girls team of Atwood, O’Neil, Brandi and Brittni Williams finished sixth with a 49.89.
