2019 Wilsonville track season

After going 7-0 in league competition this year, the Wilsonville Wildcats sent a group of athletes to St. Helens High School on Friday afternoon to compete at Novice Districts. In the last meet of the season, plenty of athletes gave it their all and reached their peak at the exact right time. Senior Josh Corson placed second in both the 100 and 200 meter races, with a PR of 24.98 in the latter....

On a blazing Tuesday afternoon, the Wildcats traveled to Hare Field to take on the Hillsboro Spartans in the final league matchup of the season.

In the second-to-last league meet of the season, Wilsonville traveled to La Salle to compete against the Falcons, and the visiting Hillsboro Spartans. The team proved successful once again but was not scored at this meet.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Wilsonville Wildcats destroyed the Milwaukie Mustangs in a dual league meet. The girls varsity won convincingly with a score of 115 to 29, while the boys varsity scored 105 to Milwaukie’s 39. Milwaukie does not have a particularly large team and was absent from many events. For example, both the 4 by 100 and 4 by 400 relay races were entirely comprised of Wilsonvil...

On Wednesday afternoon, the Wildcat track team made the 37 mile trek to Scappoose high school to compete in a three team league meet against the hosting Indians and the St. Helens Lions.

And of course, St. Helens provided good competition, as they always do...

On Wednesday, the Wilsonville Wildcats hosted La Salle Prep in the first league meet of the year.

Nevertheless, the competition level was high and many great results were achieved. Wilsonville swept the meet, winning the overall team competition for both varsity and JV on the gi...

On Saturday morning, track athletes from Wilsonville had an early morning wake up call - an hour long bus ride departing from the high school at 7:45 AM. The destination? Battle Ground High School in Washington, just a short drive over the border, for the Tiger Invite. This was the first invitational meet for the Wildcats this season, and it was a good indicator of what’s to come in the next co...

On Thursday, March 14th, the Wilsonville High School track team had their first meet - an at home time trials with the West Linn Lions. Track season starts every year with time trials, which is a way for newcomers to get used to the intensity of a high school track meet. Time trials are also a great way to discover someone’s aptitude at an event they may not have considered before. For example,...
