PENDLETON — It was just a matter of time before Sam Jennings put his name atop Pendleton’s leaderboard for the javelin.

He did just that on Friday, April 30, with a toss of 198 feet, 11 inches at the Pendleton Triad. He surpassed Geoff Herd’s mark of 186-10 set in 2009.

Jennings’ mark ranks first in Oregon and seventh in the nation.

“Today was a good day,” Pendleton coach Larry Brizendine said. “He uncorked one. I’m sure before the year is done he will get over 200.”

Jennings has shown improvement each meet, which Brizendine attributes to Jennings running sprints and on the relay teams.

“He just keeps getting bigger and stronger,” Brizendine said. “Ever since he moved into sprints, it has saved his arm. He’s just not throwing all day.”

Jennings also was third in the 100 meters, and ran on the winning 4×100 relay team with Kyle Liscom, Sam Coleman and Anders Oja. He also ran the anchor leg on the winning 4×400 relay team that consisted of Trey Boston, James Thatcher and Garrett Rimbach.

Oja also won the 110 hurdles, while Rimbach won the 800, and Coleman the 200.

In the girls division, Pendleton’s Kendall Bonzani won the 300 hurdles in a personal best 48.68 seconds, and the 100 hurdles in 17.84.

Pilot Rock’s Emily Lambert won the shot put with a personal best mark of 35-10 1/2.

RIVER’S EDGE INVITATIONAL — Heppner’s Jayden Wilson won three events, and the Mustangs ran away with the boys teams title at Milt Durand Field in Umatilla.

Wilson ran a 24.93 to win the 200, then turned in a 54.01 to win the 400 meters by more than a second and a half. Wilson capped the day by running the anchor leg on the winning 4×400 relay team (3:43.36) with Joseph Sherman, Brock Hisler and Trevor Nichols.

Nichols also won the javelin (127-6), and was second in the 1,500 (4:22.44) and 3,000 (9:50.74). Teammate Conor Brosnan won the shot put ( 40-11) and discus (127-0).

Stanfield/Echo’s Sisay Hurty won the 1,500 (4:22.18) and 3,000 (9:47. 03), while Hobbs Hurty won the 800 in a personal best 2:14.68.

Umatilla’s Eric Hoyos won the 100 in a time of 12.03 seconds, and the long jump with a leap of 19-3.

Riverside’s Marco Landeros swept the hurdle events.

In the girls division, Hannah Payne of Riverside won the 100 (13.88), 200 (29.30) and ran legs on the winning 4×100 and 4×400 relay teams.

Heppner’s Madelyn Nichols raced to wins in the 800 (2:30.24) and the 1,500 (5:24.92), while teammate Hannah Finch won the triple jump with a leap of 31-10 1/2.

Umatilla’s Taylor Durfey won the shot put and javelin, while teammate Chantal Lemus won the discus and long jump. The Vikings’ Abigail Cardenas won both hurdle events.

Stanfield/Echo, which won the girls title, saw Zora Gehrke win the 3,000 (12:44.25) and place fourth in the 800.

In the second game, Parsons helped herself at the plate with a three-run home run. Garton hit two triples, a double and had two RBIs.

WALLA WALLA 3, HERMISTON 2 — The Blue Devils outscored the visiting Bulldogs 5-4 on penalty kicks to eke out their first Mid-Columbia Conference victory.

Carlos Cisneros put the Bulldogs (5-5) on the board 20 minutes into the game, only to see Wa-Hi tie the score at 1-1 at the half.

The Blue Devil (1-8) scored to take a 2-1 lead, but Angel Valencia found the back of the net in the 65th minute to make it 2-2.

Hermiston’s Miguel Moreno was given two yellow cards in the second half and was ejected. The Bulldogs still had scoring opportunities, but couldn’t connect.

That brought about the shootout.

“They score all of theirs and we hit one off the post,” Hermiston coach Rich Harshberger said. “It was an inch from going in.”
