Track and field, golf, and tennis are part of wild finish to WIAA school year
It is championship week.
Let’s make it feel like it then, shall we?
It. Is. Championship. Week.
There, that’s better.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association always ends its school year with the spring championships all in the same week. Golf will get us started Tuesday and crown champions Wednesday. By Saturday, we will know the winners in all the other spring sports.
Clark County has baseball teams in the final four. Clark County has a soccer team in the final four. And Clark County has four softball teams ready to start their state tournaments.
However, the list below celebrates the athletes who have made it to state in the “Individual” sports. By our count (and please, let us know if we missed anybody) there are 181 athletes who have qualified for state competition in track and field, golf, and tennis.
There are 109 track and field athletes who have made it to the final week in an individual event. (Plus there are more when adding members of relay teams.)
There are 51 golfers who will represent Clark County in the various tournaments.
And there are 21 singles or doubles tennis players looking for glory in their sport.
Here are the names of all 181 athletes:
