Congratulations to University girls track and field thrower Addy MacArthur for being voted SBLive’s Washington High School Athlete of the Week for April 7-April 12!

The reigning two-time Class 4A discus champion is performing at another level this spring. At the Pasco Invite, she ripped a new personal best in the discus - 155 feet, 5 inches - to not only win the event, but increase her overall top mark in Washington (she backed it up with a 151-1 at a meet five days later). Her throw is also one of the best in the nation, lurking just outside the top 10. The Boise State signee's previous best was 145-7, set as a junior.

MacArthur received 51.1% of the vote, beating out Lynden Christian baseball player Austin Engels, who was second with 24.8%.

WASHINGTON NOMINEES

Adalynn Anderson, Royal softball: In non-league showdowns against the reigning Class 2B finalists (Adna, Warden), the senior bopped home runs in each game, registering two RBI against the state-champion Pirates, and three RBI (and a double) against Warden in a doubleheader sweep.

Avery Brewer, Selah softball: Fresh off her career-best nine RBI game last week against Ephrata, the junior demolished Toppenish in a 2A CWAC doubleheader with three home runs, 11 RBI and going 8-for-8 in a sweep of the Wildcats.

Mac Carlson and Jacoby Tait, Cashmere baseball: Ninth grade power! The freshman battery took care of Class 1A runner-up Meridian as Carlson allowed no earned run in a complete-game effort while Tait, the catcher, had two doubles to raise his team-leading batting average to .464.

Austin Engels, Lynden Christian baseball: Became the school's all-time hits leader when he went 3-for-5 in a Northwest League win over Mount Baker. His third hit gave him 101 hits for his career, according to information provided to Whatcompreps.com.

Alonzo Flores, Hockinson boys soccer: The Hawks' big striker was a force in a 2A GSHL game against Ridgefield. She tallied a hat trick - a first-half goal off a free kick and a pair of second-half goals off a penalty kick and corner kick in a 3-1 victory.

Connor Moffitt and Layne Bennett, Mount Spokane baseball: This pitching duo for the Wildcats was in a stingy mood against Shadle Park. Moffitt struck out six hitters in 3.1 inning pitched, and Bennett had five strikeouts in 3.2 innings of a combined 3A GSL no-hitter.

Owen Powell, Mercer Island boys track and field: UW signee won the 3,000-meter run at Arcadia Invitational, coming in at 8:12.92, just ahead of Crater's Josiah Tostenson (8:13.45). His times is tops in the nation.

Simon Rosselli, Mead boys track and field: Reset his all-time Washington discus mark a week later with his throw of 218 feet, 7 inches to win at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational in California. His mark is No. 2 in the nation this season.
