Ridgefield High sophomore Trey Knight added to his state championship haul on Sunday by winning the Washington State High School Hammer Championships at Centralia.
Knight defended his title with a throw of 233 feet, 7 inches, which was more than 30 feet from his winning mark in 2017. It is also the national-leading mark for his age group.
Knight’s throw was 29 feet more than second-place finisher Ian Frost of Mary M. Knight High School, who went 204-10.
Dalton Lewis, a junior from Camas, placed 18th out of 29 competitors with a throw of 114-4.
In the girls hammer, Camas senior Maggie Wells placed fifth out of 32 with a distance of 135-11. Mayyi Mahama, a senior from Pullman, won with a state-meet record of 175-4.
Camas junior Riley Kankelberg was 13th (106-7), and Camas senior Morgan Kielty was 14th (106-4).
Hammer is not a WIAA-sanctioned event, so it is contested outside of the WIAA Track and Field Championships.
