"These have been the best couple of days of my life," Bailey said.

With Oregon director of track and field Vin Lananna watching near the finish line, Bailey ran a wind-aided 21.11 to win the 200, preventing him from breaking Jordan Kent's state meet record of 21.29.

"It was crazy. I didn't think it would be that fast," said Bailey, who is going to Spokane Community College next year with the intention of later transferring to Oregon. "But I felt strong."

Bailey opened his day by running 10.65 seconds in the 100, pulling ahead of Lincoln's Jordan Polk in the final 10 meters.

"I had to catch Jordan Polk like I always do," Bailey said. "It was one of my best races."

Lincoln was the top team with 55 points, just ahead of West Salem West Salem may refer to:

Barlow's Eric Capelle was leading the high hurdles by five meters when he clipped a hurdle and fell and McBee was able to pass him for the victory.

But in the 300 hurdles, it was McBee who held a slight lead before catching the last hurdle with his foot and stumbling while Benson's Eric Bailey pulled off the upset in 37.78.
