Senior Jake Bingaman led the way for Imbler, winning the 100-meters and placing second in the 200-meter races while setting new personal records. In the 100, Bingaman crossed the finish in 11.46 seconds. His time in the 200, 23.69 seconds, was also the quickest time of his career. Bingaman added to his day with a victory in the long jump with a measurement of 21 feet, 06 inches.

Junior Adam Gordon will soon find his name on the board at Imbler High School after his second place showing in the 1,500, 4 minutes, 12.14 seconds, is a new school record.

Senior Trevor Treat ruled the hurdle events, winning the 110-meter event in 15.68 seconds and taking the tape in the 300-meters in a time of 40.78 seconds.
