Shorewood ran past the other high schools at the Terrace Twilight track and field meet on Apr. 16. It was a fundraising event for MTHS track and field held at Edmonds Stadium.

Shorewood’s boys and girls scored an astonishing 251 points for the men’s team, and 180 points for the women’s team. In addition to MTHS and Shorewood, other schools included: Monroe, Anacortes, Franklin, Bellevue, and Bishop Blanchet in this event.

On the women’s side, MTHS came in third with 89 points, and for the men, MTHS hurdled their way to second with 173 points.

“Track is like an army, honestly, I’d rather be sleeping at home right now, but you learn a lot of life lessons in track. Sometimes, you don’t feel like doing anything, but you just have to suck it up. I have to come here to win because I have my team to support me,” Merriam Mboya from Shorewood said, who has been doing track for seven years, and won the women’s 100 meter.
