PORT ORCHARD — The North Kitsap track team fell to the South Kitsap Wolves Wednesday, but there were several individual highlights for North.

Kolby Hoover grabbed first place in the 400 meter run with a 50.9-second finish — a personal best for him — and also took first place in the 110 high hurdles (16.2). Distance runner Jim Robson grabbed first place twice in the 1600 and 3200 runs. He grabbed the wins with times of 4:39.0 and 10:24.4 respectively.

On the boys’ side, the throwers also did well, with first-place finishes turned in by Mike Mitchusson in the discus (123’5”), and Ty Hildebrand in the shot put (44’0”).

For the girls’ side, the runners did well; Meghan Clark had a pair of first place finishes, blazing ahead of the back in both the 200-meter dash (in 28.3 seconds) and the 400-meter run (65.7 seconds). Robyn Embrey equalled the feat by taking first in the 100 hurdles (19.7) and 300 IH (53.2).

And for the throwers, Tara Smyth took first place in both the shot put (32’9”) and javelin (98’10”).

Despite the individual efforts, the boys fell to SK 96-49, and the girls lost 94-50.

Co-head coach Tim Adams said the athletes who competed for North did a great job — there just aren’t enough of them.

“We just don’t have any depth,” he said, noting that the team lacks the large number of sprinters other teams have. “It kills us every time.”

Adams was pleased with the team’s effort, especially the number of personal records achieved by the athletes, such as Hoover’s time in the 400. Robson was only a few seconds away from qualifying in league, and Smyth’s javelin throw was a personal record by several feet.

Adams, who last year coached the throwers, said, “The throwers did really well, but they usually do pretty well.”

He thinks some of the athletes are just starting to hit their stride.

He said, “It’s exciting to see the kids taking off.”
