A Sandy senior won a gold medal at one of the premiere track and field events: the Oregon Relays, a multi-day outing that brings together the best athletes from around the region.
The Relays were held Friday-Saturday, April 19-20, at Hayward Field in Eugene.
Sandy’s Lander Marak won the hammer with a massive personal record toss of 61.59 meters. That bested the runner-up by nearly five meters.
Marak also placed 13th in the discus (44.48) and 34th in shot put (13.25).
The Pioneers strongman wasn’t alone at the Oregon Relays. Some other local finishers included:
Caleb Perry, Barlow sophomore, 6th in the javelin (51.96 PR)
