Lutton returns, helps Franklin Pierce claim 1,600 relay
May 25, 2008
TODD MILLES
PASCO – Franklin Pierce’s Max Lutton saw a lot go out the window when he pulled up with a stress-fracture injury early this season.
Gone were hopes of defending his Class 3A state 400-meter championship. Best-case scenario, there was an outside chance he could slip into the postseason on a relay team.
Well, on the grandest stage Saturday – the final day of Star Track XXVI at Edgar Brown Stadium – a less-than-fully healthy Lutton was in his cardinal-colored uniform. He was warmed up. He was ready if the coach needed him.
Ah, that guy – the coach happens to be his father, Howard.
Bellarmine girls: team first
May 25, 2008
TODD MILLES
PASCO – There was a bit of extracurricular pointing toward the sky by the Bellarmine Prep girls track and field team as it was presented its trophy for winning the Class 4A championship Saturday.
The girls were tired.
They were somewhat relieved.
And they were still fuming.
The Lions achieved their goal of winning the 4A team title for the second time, and first since 2005, but the way they went about it? That was something coach Matt Ellis never figured on.
“As a coach ... you figure out how to script a run at a championship,” Ellis said. “And nothing went according to that plan.”
With 761/2 points, Bellarmine Prep ended Gig Harbor’s reign as 4A champion. The Tides were runners-up with 65 points in what turned out to be a two-team battle.

Duane Lee has built the Tacoma Invitational into one of the biggest regular-season track and field meets in the state. An eight-team event four years ago, 42 teams will compete Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School.
With so many teams attending, there is plenty to see.
“The fastest 4x100 relay teams in the state will be here,” said Lee, event organizer and Lincoln’s head coach.
Kentwood, Kentlake, Todd Beamer and Franklin Pierce all all be at the invitational. Led by junior sprinter Devin St. Clair, the Conquerors have clocked a 4x100 time of 43.0 seconds, half a second quicker than the Falcons, Titans and Cardinals.

Unterreiner, Cochran claim Narrows titles
Oct 18, 2007
Narrows League cross country participants have some time to prepare for the district meet.
But if Wednesday’s Narrows League cross country championships at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood was any indication, the champions at the district meet at American Lake Golf Course on Oct. 27 might be the same.
That’s because Gig Harbor’s Miles Unterreiner easily outlasted his competition to win the boys event in 15 minutes, 20.71 seconds.
He was followed by Wilson’s Kevin Rosaaen (15:40.13), Central Kitsap’s Shane Markowitz (15:53.05), Gig Harbor’s Conner Peloquin (16:08.24) and Olympia’s Colin O’Leary (16:10.25).
Gig Harbor also won the boys team competition with 36 points, followed by North Kitsap (88), South Kitsap (96), Central Kitsap (118), Olympia (129), Bellarmine Prep (132), Wilson (173) and Stadium (186).
The top 30 runners and six best teams qualified for districts in both the boys and girls competitions.
The storyline on the girls side was similar as Bellarmine Prep’s Nicole Cochran had little difficulty claiming first place.
Cochran finished in 18:08.21.
Gig Harbor girls win at Lake Washington
May 01, 2007
Gig Harbor High School track coach Kevin Eager has been waiting patiently for his girls team to perform to its ability.
The Tides finally seemed to do that Saturday at the annual Lake Washington Invitational, taking home the team title with 67 points. Bellarmine placed third (52), and Lincoln finished fifth (30.5).
“They did good today,” Eager said. “We haven’t been the kind of team that brought it in the big meets before. But today they were business-like. I got to see a team grow up and perform like I haven’t seen in two years, so it was fun.”
