Nelson, Jackman, Johnson, Kratz, Leaf win state track titles

The Kenai Peninsula showed up in droves to take on the state’s fastest, strongest and most agile athletes Friday and Saturday at the state track and field championships at Dimond Alumni Field in Anchorage.

In the end, three event victories went to peninsula entrants in the Class 4A meet and eight event wins went to peninsula entrants at the Class 1-2-3A level.

A week after a perfect Region III performance — with wins in the girls 100-, 200- and 400-meter races and a relay win — Soldotna senior Daisy Nelson was up to her tricks again Saturday. Nelson claimed the gold in the girls 400 with a time of 59.11 seconds, her first state victory on an individual level and her fourth overall, to go with her three state wins with the SoHi girls 3,200-meter relay in 2013, ‘14 and ‘15.

“I knew going in that I was going to pour my heart into it,” Nelson said. “But it’s a different feeling not having your relay team win it with you. It was different holding the (parade lap) flag.”

Nelson was a part of the state-record holding SoHi girls 3,200-meter relay from last year that had since disbanded after former teammates Sadie Fox and Dani McCormick graduated last spring.

Nelson added a relay victory later in the day in the girls 1,600-meter relay for the fifth gold of her prep career, joining teammates Brittany Taylor, Olivia Hutchings and Lindsey Wong, to win in a time of 4:08.86, nearly four seconds ahead of second-place West Valley.

On the boys side, Kenai Central junior Josh Jackman picked up his second state crown in the boys long jump, and he met a personal goal as well, eclipsing 22 feet for the first time in his prep career, officially reaching 22 feet, 2 3-4 inches.

“It felt great,” Jackman said. “I knew it was a big jump, and just the idea of being able to win a state title helped me.”

Jackman fell just shy of winning a triple jump title as well, as his 42-foot, 1.5-inch leap wasn’t enough to top Colony junior Brandon Nicholson at 46-2. Jackman settled for the silver. Jackman also finished fourth in the boys 100-meter sprint and sixth in the 400.

At the Class 1-2-3A level, it was another impressive display of team depth for the Homer girls, who won three of the four relays. The Mariners took wins in the 400, 800 and 3,200-meter relay races, and the Homer boys took the 800-meter relay. Teddy Croft, Luciano Fasulo, Zane Boyer and Jake Richter comprised the Homer boys winning relay.

To make the Homer girls 800-meter sprint relay even more legit, throw in the fact that the team is composed of two freshman, a sophomore and a junior.

First-leg runner Alia Bales and anchor Kaylee Veldstra are freshman, while Sarah Wolf is a sophomore. Lauren Evarts is a junior on the squad.

“Our coach (Bill Steyer) trains us, and he studies and analyzes where we can hand off better,” Wolf explained when asked why the Homer relay teams are so stout.

“We notice other teams doing sprints, and we do fast tempo endurance workouts,” added Evarts.

The Homer girls made up four of the top eight positions in the girls individual 200-meter sprint, and three of the top seven in the 400.

The tough workouts worked for Evarts in the girls 300-meter hurdles as well, as the Homer junior notched her first state title in the girls 300-meter hurdles, running a personal best of 46.67 seconds.

In the boys 1-2-3A shot put, Nikiski senior Luke Johnson put a bow on a stellar high school career that includes 13 state appearance across three sports. Johnson won the boys shot with a heave of 46 feet, 7 1-2 inches, Friday to tally his second career shot put state championship.

“I was gunning for that 3A state record,” Johnson said, referring to former Grace Christian thrower Grant George’s 1-2-3A state record of 49-10. “Still, it’s pretty cool to take it and I’m really proud of that.”

In the boys 1-2-3A hurdling events, Cook Inlet Academy junior Noah Leaf nearly made it a clean sweep, taking the win in the boys 110-meter hurdles but falling just short in the 300 hurdles by .09 seconds to Eielson senior Kalib Dunlap.

“I really poured it on in the last 100 (meters), but Caleb just was able to maintain his form,” Leaf said.

Leaf, who held the fastest 300 hurdles time in the state for most of the year, said he knew by the first hurdle that the race was going to be tough to win.

“Most of the time, I make up the stagger in the race by that first hurdle, but Caleb was still right in front of me,” Leaf said.

Seward junior Hunter Kratz picked up a victory in the boys 800 meters, beating the competition with a winning time of 2:00.80.

Team scores were not available as the Clarion went to press Saturday night.
