Joe Delgado of Ontario, who
won a Jr. Olympic national title in
the decathlon last summer, won the
Sweet Home Decathlon last weekend
- except it wasn't really a decathlon
because it only included nine of the
10 events.
The unpredictable weather is of-
ten a challenge during the decathlon
and heptathlon, with snow flurries,
rain and hail common. This year,
though, it was worse than normal,
as a heavy downpour most of Friday
dropped nearly 2 inches of rain on
Sweet Home, which, with accom-
panying east winds, prompted meet
officials to cancel the pole vault,
scheduled for Saturday.
Sweet Home Coach Billy Snow,
who is the event host, said he couldn't
remember having to ever actually
cancel an event, though he did recall
holding off on the high jump due to
lightning.
"In hindsight, we could .have
gotten the pole vault in, but they
weren't off on their predictions," he
said.+"A few of the kids were unhap-
py but I think most understood."
"Those kids who were out there
for both days, especially the first day,
they were to be congratulated. They
didn't have to be out there and they
were working hard. The kids just had
a blast, out there cheering each oth-
er on. During the high jump, it was
pouring rain and dumping buckets
of water. They were cheering each
other. It was just fun.
"I was impressed."
So was Sweet Home assistant
Also competing were Sweet
Home alumni Jake Comstock and
Alex Santana, who finished fifth
(4184) and sixth (3511). Comstock,
a 2010 gra& and Santana, who fin-
ished his high school career last
year.
Santana scratched on all three of
his long jump attempts, winding up
with zero points in that event, which
should have been one of his stron-
gest, after placing fifth in the 100.
The only current Huskies who
coach Jim Kistner, a veteran track- finished were seniors Jake Johnson
coach.
"These are the true athletes,"
he said as he watched the heptathlon
competitors high jump in a down-
pour Friday, while the decathletes
competed in the long jumP and the
shot put. "They're not complaining.
They're just doing it."
Delgado, a junior, scored 5364
points for the nine events, with Roy-
al Black of Southridge, also a junior,
second with 4557. Senior Zach Trask
of Philomath was a close third, fin-
ishing with 4475.
and Dakota Snow, who ended up far
down in the pack. Freshman An-
thony Vincent completed most of the
first day's events,
Jake Johnson won the discus
on his third try, after scratching his
first two throws, to edge Crow's Tan-
ner Eastlick by seven inches with a
throw of 126-3.

who is familiar to Sweet Home track
fans as the girl who nearly caught
Maria Kropf last year in the state 4A
100 hurdles final, Thomas falling to
the track as she tripped over the last
hurdle and tumbling across the finish
line. Thomas, a junior, won the hur-
dles (16.23), the long jump (16-6),
the 800 (2:32.42) and the 200 (25.85)
en route to scoring 3728 points.
Lebanon senior Kara Halleck
won the high jump (4-11) and placed
second behind Thomas in the 200
(28.10), the 100 hurdles (16.73). the
long jump (16-1 3/4) and also placed
second in the shot put (27-1) to finish
with 3661 points.
Snow Said he thought the condi-
tions may have affected some times
and marks, but his owrr son Dakota
got a couple of personal bests in
events.
"There were some preay im-
pressive times and marks," he said.
"We got to see some pretty impres-
sive athletes. That girl from Molalla
nd Kara Halleck of Lebanon are two
of the toughest girls in the state and
Joe Delgado and Royal Black had
some great performances.
"I was expecting, on Day 2, half
those kids not to show UP. They all
did. I don't think we were missing
more than four Or five guys and one
girl on Saturday."
The Huskies' regular track sea-
son resumes Wednesday, April 4, at
Philomath in a three-way meet with
Cottage Grove at 4 p.m., followed by
the Junction City Invitational Satur-
day, which includes most of the mid-
valley 4A teams, along with Crook
County, South Umpqua and Siuslaw,
and Toledo and Alsea from the lower
divisions. Field events start at 10
a.m. with track action beginning at
noon.
