Bears Take 8th Straight Track and Field Title

Jay Barrett/KMXT
The perennially strong Kodiak boys track and field team wrapped up its eighth straight Region III championship over the weekend in Nikiski. The Bears finished with 168 team points, easily outdistancing runner-up Colony’s 123. Soldotna was third, foll0wed by Wasilla, Kenai, and Palmer.
Kodiak was led by sophomore Levi Thomet, who took four titles – three individual and one team. He finished first in the 800- 1,600- and 3,200-meter events and was on the winning 4-by-800-meter relay, along with Clayton Hannah, Levi Fried, and Cole Christiansen.
The Kodiak boys also won the 4-by-100 and 4-by-400- meter relays.
Michael Ma’inifo took first in the long jump at 20-feet 5.5-inches, and the triple jump at 40-feet 8.5-inches. He was third in the high jump at 5-feet 8-inches.
The Kodiak girls were fifth, with 63 team points. Wasilla was first with 115, followed by Colony, Kenai, and Soldotna. Palmer took up the rear in sixth.
We have full results after the jump.
