KENNEWICK - Seven track teams, including the Moses Lake Chiefs, rebooted their seasons at Southridge High School and the Fast Times at Southridge High meet on Saturday.

Kayla Grigg (100-meter run, 13.55), Sadie Nielsen (discus, 110'7"), and Selina Koon (high jump, 4'10"), were the Chiefs' three runners up, while Holly Martin (1,600-meter run, 6:10.59) and Nielsen (shot put, 33') took third in their respective events.

Other top five finishes came by way of Taylor Ballard (fourth, shot put, 30'8"), Jordan Loera (fourth, javelin, 110'4" and fifth, long jump, 15'5"), Paige Dyer (fifth, discus, 84'10" and fifth, javelin, 107'2"), and the 4x100-meter relay team of Loera, London Cleverly Munoz, and Garcia (fourth, 53.84).

On the boys side, Hayden Wise brought home a second place finish in the 3,200-meter run (10:44.17) to take top honors home for the Chiefs.

"It is starting to feel like track weather now with a sunny day," Moses Lake boys head coach Kevin Whittall said. "With spring break wrapping up we are in the long home stretch for track. With league starting  next week and kids starting to get times and marks and seeing were they stand in league is always exciting. We are excited for both boys and girls so far this season  and both teams have a strong freshman class which is really helping us in scoring."
