Nicole Shaw of Jesuit has also cleared 12 feet this season.

 and has jumped as far as 18-51/2 this season. Trinna Miranda of Southridge appears to be her top competition.

TRIPLE JUMP - It's the same 1-2 as in the long jump, but reverse the order. Miranda went 37-4 to win a district title and qualify first. But Rhodes is defending champ here, too.

HIGH JUMP - Jessica Shivers of South Eugene, Lexi Ross Ross , Sir Ronald 1857-1932.

British physician. He won a 1902 Nobel Prize for proving that malaria is transmitted to humans by the bite of the mosquito.

THROWS

SHOT PUT - Two athletes surpassed 40 feet in districts, led by defending champion Alyssa Hasslen of McMinnville. She qualified first at 41-71/2 and has a throw of 42-9 this season. Kelsey Strot of Gresham threw a season-best 40-91/2 at districts.

DISCUS - Courtney Tripp of Sandy and Emily Redmayne-Titley of Aloha will try to keep Hasslen from doubling. Tripp qualified first at 126-10, and Redmayne-Titley leads the state this year at 131-7.

JAVELIN - West Linn's Ali Super is in line to win a second straight title, having thrown a state-best 150-5 to win her district title.

SPRINTS

100 - Kayla Smith of Benson was the state meet's runner-up at both 100 and 200 last year, and she leads the fields into the sprints this time around. Kelsay Hones of Southridge and Baylee Hearns of North Medford North Medford is the name of some places in the United States of America:
  • Medford, Maine

200 - Smith, Hones and Hearns are all candidates to double in the sprints, but the top quailifier is Gresham's Shaveyantay Hill in 24.73. Smith has the state's top time this year, 24.54.

400 - Hill returns to defend her state title, having matched her 2007 state-meet time of 56.68 this season. A 100-200-400 triple for her is not out of the question.

MIDDLE DISTANCE/DISTANCE

800 - This race could come down to a duel duel, prearranged armed fight with deadly weapons, usually swords or pistols, between two persons concerned with a point of honor. The duel may have originated in the wager of battle, an early mode of trial in which an accused person fought with his accuser under  between Lauren Lloyd of Hood River The Hood River is a tributary of the Columbia River in northwestern Oregon in the United States.

Each came in under 2:15 at districts, and they're the only two in the state to run under 2:17 this season.

1,500 - Jones of St. Mary's is the top qualifier, followed by the Jesuit duo of Adrienne McGuirk and freshman Anna Marie Maag. Jones has run 4:37.56 this season.

3,000 - McGuirk of Jesuit qualified first at 10:09.65 and is followed by teammate Sarah Bridges. Gresham sophomore Khalia Tidwell could factor into both distance races.

300 INTERMEDIATES - Monk's attempt to double in the hurdles could be blocked by Alyssa Rife of Southridge. She was the state's runner-up last year and ran 44.45 to qualify first this time.

RELAYS

4x100 METERS - Rife and Hones lead the Southridge quartet, which ran 48.51 to win a district title and qualify first. Hill could help Gresham challenge, while Lincoln has this year's top time of 48.06.

4x400 METERS - Again, Rife and Hones make Southridge a factor to win - and thus capture a second straight title - but St. Mary's ran 3:57.64 at districts and is the top qualifier. South Eugene is one of four teams to come in under 4 minutes this year, though the Axemen qualified 10th at 4:04.55.

TEAM OUTLOOK

Jesuit will be pushing for first after finishing second to Lincoln a year ago. Gresham and Southridge are among the likely challengers.
