A lifetime’s worth of speedy experience rounded the track Monday night at the second Kiwanis All-Comers Meet of the summer, as the cheering crowd recognized the stamina of 400-meter runners ranging in age from exuberant 3-year-old Greta Gorbeck to old pro Gary Wright — age 79.
Greta and Wright had already run three races each, said event organizer Paul Benton, yet both finished hard, with up-tempo sprints as spectators applauded.
The speedy Dennon sisters — Darya (age 8) and Karina (10) — were again unbeatable, each winning four events, with Karina often racing against 11-year- olds and Darya running faster than her older sister in the 200-meter dash.
Also outstanding was Catrina Godfrey (7), who won her age group in the 60-, 100-, and 200-meters, then rushed past two 9-year-olds to win the 400-meters in a remarkably fast 1:32.6.
Winners of three races included Evie Beals (3), Etta Henry (4), and Brooke Anderson (6).
The Haizlip brothers seemed to be everywhere, Benton said, as Owen (5) and Cole (8) together tallied eight wins, while Milo (10) won his heat of the 200-meters.
Nine-year-old Howard Howlett, last summer’s overall runner-up for the season championship, had the most successful evening of all, winning five events (60-, 100-, 200-, 400-meters and the 60-meter hurdles) and running on the second place 4×100 relay team.
Caleb Nelson won the jogger’s mile, missing his predicted time by just a second, while Ben Childers was less than 3 seconds off.
More adults raced this week, Benton said, though often without getting their names and times recorded. Most notably there were seven men and women in the open 400, with recent Bainbridge track star Wyatt Longley, now in training for racing at Western Washington University, graciously pacing the others.
The summertime tradition series of free community track meets, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, continues Monday at the high school track. Sign in begins at 6 p.m. The jogger’s mile begins at 6:30 p.m.
