WASHINGTON NOMINEES

Kenyon Andrews, Hazen boys track and field: Became Washington's all-time leader in the 300-meter leader with his time of 36.24 seconds at a KingCo dual meet, breaking Lyricc Lopez's record time (36.26). Andrews is reigning Class 3A champion in the event as well.

Sutton Flint, Liberty of Issaquah boys track and field: Among the state leaders in all three sprints (100, 200, 400), junior won the 110-meter hurdles in state-leading (and PR) 13.44 seconds, which just missed all-time Washington record. He is ranked No. 2 in the country this spring.

Josiah Gopaul, Cascade Christian boys soccer: Tallied a season-high four goals and an assist in the Cougars' lopsided win over King's. Three of those goals came in the second half, including a pair of scores on penalty kicks.

Ally Hetzel, Mount Si softball: UW signee might do a lot of things in sport - but never this again. Against Hazen, she had a 10 RBI-showing, fueled by a pair of home runs, including a grand slam in a 26-0 win. Also homered later in the week against Moses Lake and Sammamish.

Shane Johnson, Lake Washington baseball: Extended his scoreless streak to 17 innings by tossing a five-inning no-hitter against KingCo foe Mount Si. He struck out seven batters in notching a victory in his third consecutive outing.

Tom McDevitt, Cashmere baseball: Tossed six no-hit innings of shutout baseball, striking out 14 batters to get the Bulldogs going in a 1A SCAC sweep of Connell. The junior also laced a double from the bottom of the order.

Chase McGee, Camas boys track and field: He finally surpassed Washington pole vault legend (and idol) Casey Carrigan (17 feet, 41/2 inches) in becoming the all-time leader. Went 17-5 in his first try at a 4A GSHL dual meet against Union to eclipse 56-year-old record.

Emmalee Mohr, Richland softball: Cranked a big home run and drove in four RBI in 4A/3A MCC sweep of Kennewick. Also pitched four shutout innings to earn the win in the first game of the doubleheader.

Shelby Swanson, East Valley of Spokane softball: Senior infielder went off against unbeaten 2A GSL Deer Park, collecting three hits, including a home run and double, and driving in five runs in toppling the Stags.
