Andrea Geubelle continues to win champions by leaps and bounds -- literally.
The Curtis senior placed first in the long jump last week at the USA Track and Field National Junior Olympic Championships in Omaha, Neb. Geubelle, who claimed Class 4A state titles in the long jump and triple jump, won the event with a leap of 19 feet, 8.25 inches in the Young Women's division, the highest category of competition. She also placed sixth in the triple jump.
Geubelle was joined at the meet by a few of her teammates from the Flying AJ's Track Club, along with other local teams, High Voltage and Seatown Express.
Here's how they fared:
Flying AJ's
Michael Okoro (Clover Park) was second in the Intermediate Boys 200 meters and fourth in the 400.
Spencer Marr (Clover Park) was eighth in the IB long jump.
Zach Smith (Kentlake) placed second in the Young Mens long jump.
Stephan Scott Ellis (Curtis) strained his hip on his first attempt in the triple jump and was unable to complete his jumps.
High Voltage
Germe Poston (Franklin Pierce) was third in her 200-meter heat and fifth in her 100-meter heat in the Intermediate Girls division.
Kelly Jacka (Bellarmine Prep) took second in her 200-meter heat and fifth in her 100-meter heat in the Young Women's division.
Seatown Express
Ariele Reeves (Lakes) finished fifth in her heat in the Young Women's 100 meters.
Paddling to Russia
Next week, three members of the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Racing Team will compete at the Moscow Junior World Test Team Trials in Oklahoma City, Okla. If Cedric Bond, Abbie Barber and Katy Hill qualify, they will travel in September to Russia to compete in a test regatta for the 2009 Junior Worlds competition.
Bond, Barder and Hill will be joined in Oklahoma City by GHCKRT teammates Katarina Batina, Makenzie Sousle and Zac Johnson, who are racing in Nationals. Hill is going for her fourth straight victory in the 500-meter K-1. Bond, ranked No. 1 in the country, is competing for the first time as a junior. Batina will race against Olympic-level kayakers for the first time as a senior. Sousle is the defending champion in the girl's bantam canoe division.
