Both the boys and girls Mountlake Terrace Hawks track and field teams earned fifth-place finishes Saturday at the Terrace Invite, an annual prep meet hosted by the school. Seventeen teams participated in this year’s event.
The Hawk boys were led by strong results in the jumping and throwing competitions. Freshman Brandon Bach won the javelin event with a career-best toss of 160-06, bettering his previous best effort by more than ten feet.
On the girls’ side, Terrace was paced by their runners. Senior Katherine Walter captured the 1600 meters, edging out second-place Isabel Duxbury of University Prep by less than one second.
