It was a day full of close finishes and medals won for Edmonds School District student athletes competing during day two of the 2025 WIAA State 2A/3A/4A Track and Field Championships at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma Friday.

Mountlake Terrace’s Allison Mervin missed becoming a state champion by the slimmest of margins in the 3A girls triple jump. The junior had to settle for second place after she and Silas’ Addison Kelly posted the same best leap of 38-6 1/2 in the event — Kelly was awarded the state title due to a five-and-one-half-inch differential in the two competitors’ second-best efforts.

Mervin’s second place medal was her second podium finish of the state meet after capturing fourth place in the 3A girls long jump on Thursday.

Terrace’s Brynlee Dubiel won the third-place medal in the 3A girls 100 meter hurdles on Friday with a time of 14.89, the same mark of fourth place Eisley Hering of Gig Harbor – Dubiel’s third place was determined after officials examined the meet’s official finish line photo.

In the event, Dubiel finished .01 second behind second place Eloise Newman of Mercer Island and .1 second behind event state champion Davina Kostecka of Central Valley.

Mountlake Terrace’s Sierra Swan finished fifth in the 3A girls javelin throw finals.
