Van Amen breaks South Kitsap record in shot put

South Kitsap junior Nolan Van Amen broke the school record in the shot put on Thursday at the Class 4A West Central District meet in Kent.

Van Amen, the defending state champ in the event, threw 59 feet, 10.5 inches to win the district title and advance to next week’s state meet.

The old record was 59-4.25 set by Gene Daunais in 1970. Van Amen entered the meet No. 3 on the list. No. 2 was SK throws coach Renard Williams, who threw 59-3 en route to a state title in 2007.

The West Sound record is 64-8.5 set by Bainbridge’s Matt Wauters in 2004.

Klahowya’s throwers relay qualified for districts

Klahowya has an unlikely entrant into this weekend’s Class 1A West Central District track and field meet at Bremerton.

The Eagles 4×100 relay team will improbably running for a spot at state.

With a shortage of sprinters this season, coach Jim Felty asked for some volunteers to run the relay. He got them in a group of throwers (and a pole vaulter). Trevor Hargrove, Connor Swaney, Christopher Greene and Cooper Martinson, three of them football players, took third at the Olympic League 1A/sub-district meet over the weekend. Top three qualified for districts (it helped that Coupeville was DQ’d).

They ran it in 52.27 seconds, which was more than six seconds behind second-place Port Townsend.

“And they have more fun than anyone else,” Felty said via email.

All said, it was a pretty good weekend for the Eagles, who won the boys league title and tied with Coupeville for the girls title.

Reclassification cycle changing to four years instead of two

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s Representative Assembly passed nine amendments, including a significant change to the current two-year reclassification cycle.

The classification cycle amendment (Rule 4.1.0) is changing from every two years to every four years according to a press release from the WIAA on Friday. A school can appeal its classification after two years. A school can appeal due to significant decrease in enrollment, declining enrollment, an opening of a new school or unforeseen circumstances.

The current cycle is completing its first year this spring. The next reclassification cycle would be for the 2016-17 school year. That’s when the four-year cycle would begin.

The other three amendments that passed that deal strictly with high school sports were Rule 17.5.8D which now allows an athlete who is invited to participate in a national championship event the opportunity to be coached by their high school coach.

Rule 18.23.3 allows a high school student, who is not represented by a high school, to compete against a college team and maintain their amateur status. Rule 65.3.3 also gives 1B schools the choice for varsity volleyball matches to chose the number of games they play, best two-of-three, three-of-five and five-of five.

For a list of all amendments, you can click here. You can also find a podcast of the RA meeting here.
