CHENEY — Michael Davis of King\'s claimed his third consecutive javelin state championship with a meet-record throw in the Class 2A track and field championships Friday at Eastern Washington University.
Davis, a senior, threw 199 feet, 3 inches, almost eight feet more than his meet record of 191-5, set last year. He also owns the state record of 211-3, set two years ago as a sophomore.
Going into the weekend, the King\'s senior had the state\'s best javelin throw this year for athletes from any school classification, at 201-10.
But his records might have a challenger in coming years. Colville sophomore David Musson was runner-up Friday at 191-4 — one inch off the old meet record.
In the girls meet, Sultan junior Krystal Paszkeicz won the discus at 127 feet, more than six feet ahead of runner-up Tevaite Tauvela of Orting.
In other 2A girls finals, Steilacoom freshman Alex Davidson won the 400 meters in 57.80 seconds. In the 2A boys meet, Evan Dull of King\'s was third in the 1,600.
The 2A, 1A and B championships conclude today at Woodward Field.
