It was a well combined track and field meet.
Highline was facing the combined Evergreen/Tyee squad for the all-Highline School District title, with the Pirates being a Class 3A team and Evergreen and Tyee both 2A in a combined Seamount League.
And for this meet, four boys ran with one girl in a combined 3,200-meter run.
Grace Stephans of Highline found herself running the girls portion by herself, and she thus won that event with her time of 13 minutes, 9.58 seconds.
But for the whole race she was either just ahead, equal to or just behind one of the boys runners -- Chinh Nguyen of Evergreen. She was not alone until Nguyen turned on his after burners down the home stretch and finished in 13:05.05.
Derek Ingraham of Tyee won the race in 10:31.25, followed by Highline's Josh Nord (11:08.63) and Zach Todd (11::29.86).
Highline's depth helped it to carry the day, outscoring Tyee, 114-10, and Evergreen, 96-38, on the boys side as Evergreen topped Tyee, 89-10. Highline beat the Tyee girls, 113-16, and downed Evergreen, 106-27. Evergreen outscored Tyee, 61-23.
Colleen Pacholski of Highline won the girls 100-meter dash in 13:57 and teammate Whitney Diggs took the 200 in 26.58 with Tracey Stolz capturing the 400 in 1:04.26. Thais Pedro of the Pirates won the 800 in 2:25.07 and the 1,600 in 5:50.67.
