“I’ve got a lot of kids out and interested,” Timberlake track and field coach Brian Kluss said of the javelin. “I’ve always said it’s a hook event. You have a really easy time getting them to try it. In Oregon, there’s some absolute specimens that can do it. If a kid is fast and strong, you can find a place for them to do it.”

“Finishing second requires a group of dedicated, competitive guys,” Timberlake track and field assistant coach Shawn Lawler said. “At a 3A school, most of the kids participate in two or three sports. Many of the boys on the team either competed in a winter sport, worked out in the hallways, weight room or just ran in the snow.”
