Eureka wins own TerriFic and FanTastic meet

EUREKA — Eureka got a team sweep of its own TerriFic and FanTastic track and field meet, and a couple State B qualifiers at the same time on Friday.

Jesse Day won the javelin at the triangular meet with a throw of 166 feet, 4 inches. That leads Class B and meets the state qualifying standard. Day also won the shot put and was second to Noxon’s Ricky Williams in the discus. 

Williams, meanwhile, had Friday’s most impressive mark: He cleared 6-4.5 to win the high jump. The height leads all classes in this young season and is well above the Class C qualifying mark of 6-1.

Eureka won the boys team title with 70 points. Noxon was next at 39 and Troy followed at 13. It was the same order on the girls’ side: Eureka (77 points), Noxon (26) and Troy (24). 

Eureka’s Emmett Manges won the boys 100 and 200 titles, and teammate Josh Lambertsen took the 400 with a time of 54.19 seconds. Lambertsen also cleared 11-9 to win the pole vault.
