The 2019 outdoor season opens Saturday in Tacoma at the Ed Boitano Invitational...
Those words above must mean the opening of the 2019 outdoor track and field season is here, as all four Washington Division II schools will converge on Baker Stadium on the campus of the University of Puget Sound Saturday for the Ed Boitano Invitational, starting at 10 am.
With only the NCAA indoor track and field championships in Pittsburg, Kansas remaining to conclude the indoor season, Central Washington, Saint Martin’s, Seattle Pacific and Western Washington are naturally sitting out those athletes qualified for next week’s national championship meet.
Among those making their 2019 season debut is Western Washington’s javelin All-American Raquel Pellecer (left/photo courtesy WWU Athletics).
Pellecer finished sixth at the NCAA Division II championships to earn All-America honors, and threw a personal best of 157-6 (48.01m) at the GNAC championships.
She enters the Ed Boitano Invitational as the defending champion, where she threw 142-5 (43.42m).
Alex Barry, who finished fourth at last year’s NCAA D2 championships in the men’s javelin, is not entered in the meet.
