The South Kitsap boys track and field team went into Star Track with few competitors, but still managed to come away with points out of the competition Friday and Saturday at Edgar Brown Stadium in Pasco.

Wolves’ junior Sean Allison, who won the Narrows League and West Central District titles in the javelin throw, finished with a personal-best heave of 181 feet, 5 inches to place seventh in the Class 4A competition.

Heritage’s Jacob Wilson won the event at 207-10.

“Two kids broke the meet record,” South coach Joanne Warren said. “Any other year, he probably would’ve been in the top three.”

Besides Allison, the Wolves’ 1,600-meter relay team also earned points with a fifth-place finish in 3 minutes, 23.17 seconds.

Central Valley won that event in 3:20.45.

South’s team, which consistent of sophomore Leon La Deaux and fellow juniors Dan Nadeau, Jon Phillips and Kyle Stolp were just happy to get to state after an incident at districts, where they were embroiled in controversy when Nadeau and Kentwood sophomore Tristan Askew made contact.

Askew, who replaced injured senior Demetrius Bronson on the team, hit the track first and Nadeau tripped over him.

The tangle-up resulted in the Conquerors’ disqualification.

Kentwood coach Steve Roche filed a protest after the race that Askew interfered because he was pushed down by Nadeau, which was denied.

He filed a subsequent appeal to have the race run again between the three affected teams, South, Curtis and Kentwood, but that also was denied.

Phillips said the team was angry about the incident and would use it as motivation at state. It seemed to work as they finished with their best time of the year.

“They kind of snuck in,” said Warren, adding that the group was seventh in the preliminaries. “They beat Mount Tahoma, which was good because they’ve been beat up by them.”

Warren said she also is excited about the prospect of the entire group returning next season.

She thinks La Deaux can advance to state in the 300 hurdles and expects Phillips to improve in the 800, where he finished ninth — one spot out of qualifying for the final.

The only state qualifier for South who graduates is Devlan Miller. He finished 16th in the javelin at 133-8.

South junior Jose Andriano won the 100 and 200 and was second in the 800 and 1,600 wheelchair runs.

Wolves didn’t send any members of their girls program to state, but Warren said, “We’ll definitely have some girls next year.”
