Issaquah track and field teams sweep Roosevelt | Thursday prep roundup

The Issaquah boys and girls track and field teams recorded victories Thursday afternoon in Seattle.

The boys defeated Roosevelt 90-53 and the girls beat the Roughriders 89-52.

Senior Mike Baba earned a pair of wins in the shot put (41 feet, 3 1/2 inches) and javelin (171-7).

Senior Turner Wiley and junior Jorrell Dorsey also picked up a pair of victories. Wiley won the 1,600 (4 minutes, 42.1 seconds) and the 3,200 (9:51.2), while Dorsey won the 200 meters (24 seconds) and the 400 meters (53.9).

The girls were paced by pole vaulter Eva Perry, who broke the school record for the fourth time. The junior cleared 12 feet and currently leads the nearest KingCo 4A competitor by 30 inches. She is also ranked No. 2 in the state across all classifications.

Sophomore Mckenna Hogan also had quite a day, taking first with a new personal record of 17-3 1/2 in the long jump — leaving her just 3/4 of an inch off a new school record. No female competitor has jumped that far since Kim Bierner set the school record in 1975.

Senior sprinter Haley Jacobson picked up a pair of wins in the 100 (12.9) and 200 (26.5), and sophomore thrower Katie Zhong swept the javelin (94-2), shot put (27-7 3/4) and discus (73-4).
