Dayville School freshman Kristina Humphreys makes the top of the podium for javelin in last weekend's OSAA Track and Field State Championships in Eugene.

EUGENE — Dayville High School freshman Kristina Humphreys set a goal for first in state in javelin and reached it with a throw of 129-2.

She’s competed in the sport since sixth grade, and this year, with the help of head coach Peter Bogardus and assistant coaches Skip Inscore and Savannah Martin, Humphreys sailed to victory.

Humphreys said she was nervous at first with the big crowd.

“I started warming up, and then they called us down to the field,” she said. “My heart was racing because everyone was watching. It was crazy.”

Still, she enjoyed the experience.

“My goal next year is for going again and seeing if I can do better,” she said.

A team of fans to cheer on Humphreys attended the event included the coaches, athletic director Tiffnie Schmedeka and her husband, Taylor, and their son, Grayson, as well as Superintendent/Principal Kathryn Hedrick.

Dayville’s high school track and field team this year included only three athletes, and Bogardus hopes to see more out for the team next year.

“The more the merrier,” he said.
