EUGENE — A number of Central Oregon boys and girls were crowned state champions at the 2014 Hershey’s Track and Field Oregon State Finals, held Saturday at Hayward Field.

Among the winners from Central Oregon was Bailey Knirk, of Sisters, who placed first in the girls 9-10 age division in both the 50-meter dash (7.63 seconds) and the standing long jump (6 feet 6 inches).

Other individual winners included Lexie Miller, of Bend (9-10 girls 100 meters, 15.08); Maya Hopwood, of Bend (13-14 girls 100 meters, 13.00); Ben Bonetto, of Bend (9-10 boys 200 meters, 30.44); Cody Crain, of Redmond (9-10 boys 400 meters, 1:12.79); Jeremiah Schwartz, of Redmond (9-10 boys standing long jump, 6-10); Cambree Scott, of Bend (13-14 girls standing long jump, 8-1/2); and Heath Pickhardt, of Powell Butte (13-14 girls softball throw, 197-7).

Also winning was the 9-10 boys 4×100-meter relay team of Crain, Schwartz, Nathan Wachs and Micah Leblanc, of Redmond; their time was 1:04.06.

The marks of winners from the Oregon meet will be compared with winning marks from elsewhere in the Northwest Region (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Montana, and Alberta and British Columbia, Canada) to determine which athletes will qualify to advance to national competition. The Northwest Regional team will be announced July 11. The Hershey’s North American Finals are scheduled for Aug. 2 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
