Hoquiam’s Burteshaw leads local contingent at Chehalis Activator

Grizzlies sprinter breaks school, meet record in the girls 100 meters

Six Twin Harbors prep track and field stars won a total of eight individual events in the Classic competition at the Chehalis Activator Friday through Saturday at W.F. West High School.

Leading the way for local student-athletes was Hoquiam’s RenaèJah Burtenshaw and Aberdeen’s Ailyn Haggard.

In only her freshman season, Burtenshaw put her name in the record books, winning the girls 100-meter sprint with a time of 12.28, beating Tumwater’s Ava Jones by 0.37 for a new personal-record time.

Burtenshaw’s dash was the 15th fastest time across any class in the state this season, breaking her own school record and the Activator meet record in the process.

The Hoquiam freshman phenom also won the long jump with a leap of 16 feet, 8.75 inches, also a new personal best.

Haggard was also in top form over the weekend, dominating both the girls 800 and 1,600-meter races.
