2023 XC NEWS

KINGCO & METRO PRE-SEASON JAMBOREE

The Boys and Girls Cross Country (XC) teams kicked off the season at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle against many of the Kingco league’s toughest programs. The massive Wolves XC team stands at 149 athletes, dwarfing last years team of 118. While most races are a 5K (3.1 miles), the Kingco Jamboree is only a 2 mile season tune up. The very hilly 2mi course may not have been fast but the Wolves improved their grit and mental toughness.

The Freshmen boys led off the day with strong performances from Yonatan Turgeman and Jonah Yoon finishing as the top 2 Wolves. On the Freshmen girls side Anna Schneidler finished 3rd overall (7th fastest EHS girl on the day) follow by the duo of Saniia Riabinina and Amy Harlan. All 3 finished in the top 8 overall. The Sophomores kept the strong performances rolling with Rodrigo Montano, Zack Rikkinen, and Aarush Thandani as the top 3 Eastlake boys. Sydney Lamb finished 2nd overall (6th fastest for Eastlake) and Kiera Quinto 6th overall. The 11th grade boys races had several Wolves up in the front pack, with Eli Yoon finishing 2nd overall, Andrew Talius 8th, Lukas Talius 12th, Colin Thompson 14th, and Preston Daniels 16th.  The Girls side had a very strong showing as well with Jane Roos in 2nd, Sally Roos in 3rd, Fiona Wolf and rookie Holly Carroll in 7th and 8th and fellow rookie Grace Schorr in 12th. Wrapping up the day with the senior races. Daniel Montano finished 4th, Max Qu 7th, and Chase Beckstead 8th. For the girls, Abbey VanValkenburg closed with 3rd and Vanessa Hepkin in 15th.

SCHOOL RECORDS DROP AT STATE TRACK MEET

HAGWELL AND QUINTO SET TWO SCHOOL RECORDS

Ava Hagwell and Peyton Quinto ended their Eastlake track careers in spectacular fashion on Saturday May 27th at the State Meet in Tacoma by running on the 4x200m and 4x400m relays, both of which set new school records while placing 6th and 2ndplace respectively.  The 4x200m squad, which also included Peyton Glennon-Robbins and Sofia Robe ran a time of 1:44.16, surpassing the previous record of 1:44.18, which was set in 2013 by Ellie Woerner, Anna Carskaden, Audrey Knutsen and Maddy Kennedy.  Carskaden went on to run track at Cal Poly while Woerner played basketball at Boise State and the University of Portland.  In the 4x400m Allyssa Flindt and Jane Roos joined forces with Hagwell (University of Chicago recruit) and Quinto to courageously run a 3:58.63 clocking. All four girls ran under 60 seconds for their splits, narrowly missing the win to Camas. (Sally Roos ran in the prelims Friday night, helping the Wolves move on.)  The previous record of 3:59.71 was set by Ellie Talius, Alexia Bryant, Azita Balsara and Brooke Manson in 2018.  Talius went on to triple jump for Sandford while Manson is finishing up her middle-distance career at the University of Utah where she has been all Pac12 in the 800m multiple times.

HOM TWINS AND ZAHN PODIUM

Distance runners Connor Hom, Justin Hom and Noah Zahn all reached the podium over the three-day state meet.  Connor Hom got the Wolves off to a great start on Thursday by placing 2nd in the 1600m in a personal best time of 4:14.04.  He is now 2nd all time for EHS, surpassing Joey Corr who went on to run distance at the University of Minnesota and is less than a second away from the school record which is held by Nate Pendleton who ran distance for the Washington State Cougars.  Justin placed 8th in a time of 4:20.8.  Both Hom brothers qualified for the finals of the 800m where Connor placed 3rd in a time of 1:55.76, while Justin placed 4th in a time of 1:56.11.  On Saturday afternoon Noah Zahn despite missing the first half of the season due to a foot injury, courageously lead the last half of the race and narrowly missed winning the 3200 with a third-place finish in a time of 9:19.76.  Zahn will continue his running career next year at Lehigh University where he will run both cross country and track for the Mountain Hawks.

BAKER AND KAPUR MEDAL

In their best showing in years, the field athletes made Eastlake proud.  Leading the way for the Wolves was discus thrower Kai Baker, who for the 2nd week in a row, threw a huge personal best toss of 152-09 which earned him the silver medal!  Baker leaves EHS   3rd all time in the discus, just behind Gino Bresolin who played college football at the University of Texas El Paso. Sophomore Addison Kapur, who already set the school record in the javelin this season, continued her stellar season by improving her record to 126-02 and by placing third, taking the bronze medal.  Masson Heisser also had a great day in the triple jump where he had a personal best leap of 43-04.75, good enough to make the finals where he placed 9th.

 

DISTANCE BOYS SWEEP DISTRICTS

CONNOR HOM WINS TWO INDIVIUAL TITLES

The Eastlake boys distance squad continued their spectacular season at the District State Qualifying Meet at Renton Memorial Stadium on May 17th and 20th.  In an encore performance to the King Co Championships that were held last week, the Wolves once again took top honors in the 800-3200m runs.  Junior Connor Hom lead the way winning both the 800 and 1600m, while his twin brother Justin was runner up in the 800m and had a state qualifying 4th place finish in the 1600m.  Teammate Noah Zahn, who will compete in cross country and track next year at Lehigh University, claimed the 3200m title.  Ethan Pedersen also punched his ticket to the State Meet by placing 3rd in that event. 

The record books took a beating in all three races.  In the 800m Connor and Justin both ran huge personal records of 1:52.87 and 1:53.42 respectively.  They are now the #2 and #3 all time behind Nathan Pixler who ran collegiately at the University of Colorado and was a WAC 800m champion for Seattle University.  In the 1600m Connor is third all time, moving ahead of Pixler with a time of 4:15.3 while Justin is 5th all time with a 4:17.8, besting Adamson Bryant who went on to run cross country and track for Duke University. Zahn, who was sidelined with a foot injury the first part of the season ran a personal best in the 3200m in a time of 9:18.07 which is the 6th fastest at Eastlake.

The Wolves field events crew had their best district meet in years, qualifying four individuals to the State Meet.  Mason Heisser (triple jump), Addison Kapur (javelin), and Peyton Glennon-Robbins (long jump) were all runners up in their events while Kai Baker took third in the discus.  Kai Lane (javelin), Olukitan Sojinrin(triple jump), Azadeh Teague (discus) and Hannah Sahagian (pole vault) all narrowly missed qualifying by placing 5th.   Baker threw a huge personal best of 147-04 in the discus and is now ranked 3rd all time for the Wolves. Sahagian and Sojinrin also moved up in the record books with their marks.  Sahagian is now the 4th best pole vaulter in history for the Wolves while Sojinrin is the 7th best triple jumper.

The girls relay teams continued to impress by qualifying all three to the State Meet.  Glennon-Robbins, Sofia Robe, Peyton Qunito and Ava Hagwell all ran on both the 2nd place 4x100m and 4x200m squads.  Their 49.82 clocking in the 4x100m gives them a 3rd place all time.  Hagwell and Qunito combined with Alyssa Flindt and Sally Roos in the 4x400m’s runner’s up performance.  The time of 4:00.20 is 2nd all time for the Wolves.  The boys 4x400m also placed 2nd to qualify.  The team of Evan Harper, Justin Hom, Harry McHugh, and Connor Hom ran a 3:26.32, cracking the top ten in all time standings. 

Additional individual qualifiers include:

*Evan Harper continues his stellar senior season and will run both the 400m and 200m at State.  He placed 4thin the 400m in a personal best time of 51.08 and ran the qualifying standard in the 200m with his 22.31 clocking.  He is now ranked 5th on the all-time list for the 200m.

*Sally Roos, Jane Roos, and Harry McHugh qualified in 800m, 1600m and the 200m respectively by meeting the qualifying standard.  Sally’s time in the 800m (2:15.7) is 5th all time for EHS.
