Day one of the 2025 WIAA State 2A/3A/4A Track and Field Championships in Tacoma proved to be rewarding for a pair of Edmonds School District athletes on Thursday as Mountlake Terrace’s Allison Mervin and Edmonds-Woodway’s Nicholas Manz each came away from the event with medals.

Mervin placed fourth in the 3A girls long jump with a leap of 18-05.25 to earn her second podium finish in the event. The junior placed fifth in last year’s state 3A girls long jump competition.
