The rain had the last laugh Tuesday afternoon at Astoria High School, as the Fishermen track teams hosted their final meet of the season under less than ideal conditions – or ideal for March, anyway.

The Astoria girls – still a little shy of being at full strength – still managed to post a 94-50 win over the Gulls, while the Astoria boys used their strength in the sprints for a 75-57 victory over Seaside.

Astoria senior Laura Bobek, competing in her final home meet, won the discus with a throw of 142 feet, 3 inches, then took the shot put with a 45-71/2.

“For these conditions, I guess they’re OK,” Bobek said of her winning marks. “I’d like to be throwing a little bit farther right now. I’ve been practicing in good weather, so it’s different throwing in this.

“I really haven’t set any goals (as far as marks), I just want to get better every time out.”

A constant rain kept most times and marks down, as both teams gear up for the upcoming district meet in two weeks.

“The strongest event of the day was the girls’ 400, with (Ashley) Mayfield and (Eleni) Duret,” said Astoria coach Lynn Jackson. “A 1:01 and a 1:02 – that was by far the strongest event.

“And Bobek continues to throw well, even in adverse conditions,” he said. “The discus is the event that gets affected the most in the rain.”

Mayfield had 1 minute, 01.03 seconds to win the 400 meters, then came back to win the 3,000 meters in 11:54.53, ahead of teammate Carlie Gilligan (11:58.75).

Mayfield has now competed in everything from the 200 meters to the 3,000 this season, as the multitalented Seaside senior makes a final run for the state meet.

Elsewhere, Duret won the 300 hurdles in 50.18, and Astoria’s Katie Leino had the winning times in the 100 meters (14.21) and the 200 meters (29.18).

Astoria’s Chelsey Olson overcame tough conditions to clear 7-6 in the pole vault.

On the boys’ side, “Benjo Musa’s 19-5 (to win the long jump) is a good jump, and Willie Einerson’s 168-9 in the javelin is a good mark for today, especially competing against Justin Laird,” Jackson said. “Those guys could be competing for that final slot to the state meet.”

The Astoria boys went 1-2-3 in both the 100 and 200, and 1-3 in the 400.

“The Musa, Alex Smalley and Alex Eterno sweep in the 100 is pretty strong,” Jackson said, with Musa’s winning time 11.88.

“Then in the 200 it was Justin Gagnon, Smalley and Musa,” with Gagnon posting a 24.52. Gagnon also took the 400 (55.34), ahead of Seaside’s Zeke Smith (55.71).

The 300 hurdles was “a good race for Jesse Boord,” Jackson said, as Boord won in 42.65.

“Jesse and (Seaside’s) Ben Wittman are going to be racing for a spot at state,” he said. “Overall, it was a solid deal. There were a lot of vacancies in the pole vault and high jump today, which changes the scores a little.”

Trevor Puckett (discus and shot put) was a double-winner for Astoria, while Cole Willyard had a nice day for the Gulls, winning the 1,500 meters (4:29.06) and 3,000 (10:02.00), followed by a nice final leg in the 1,600-meter relay, won by Astoria in 3:52.47.

Astoria will take a few athletes to Banks Thursday to make up for last week’s postponed meet, then will take part in the Dick Baker Invitational Saturday at Gladstone.
