Six points kept South Whidbey girls track and field from beating King’s.

The Falcons’ shortcoming was not for a lack of stellar performances. Six Falcon girls won their events and five finished in second place.

King’s won the Cascade Conference girls track and field meet, edging South Whidbey, 69-64. South Whidbey finished first and second in the 800 meter, 100-meter hurdles and discus. In the hurdles, freshman Tera Applegate paced senior Sylvie Kaul-Anderson with a 17.26-second race, Applegate’s best time of the season. The two also competed in the 300-meter hurdles, with Kaul-Anderson winning the event in 52.25 seconds. Applegate placed fourth.

Lillianna Stelling, a senior, won the 800 in a career-best 2:24.74 seconds. Not far behind was teammate Terra Wildon, a junior, who placed second in a personal best 2:35.11.

Throwers Angelina Berger, a senior, and sophomore Kristen Schuster battled in the discus. Berger, a state-level shot put and discus thrower, gave way to her teammate in the discus. Schuster won with a mark of 101 feet, 4 inches. Berger tossed for 99 feet, 4 inches; she also won the shot put at 39 feet, 11 inches, her career-best distance and a school record.

Nora Felt won the 1,600-meter race and set her career-best time at 5:29.88. The senior finished the mile almost eight seconds faster than her previous-best time earlier this season.

Anna Hood set her career-best time in the 100-meter sprint at 13.28 seconds for a second-place finish.
