Tyler King picks his moments.
With his University of Washington track team facing off with arch-rival Washington State University Saturday for the 97th time in their storied history, the Huskies needed one more point to claim a victory on the mens’ side of the battle.
Up stepped King, the former Coupeville High School star, and he delivered more than one point, zooming to a second-place finish in the 3000 meter race.
He clocked in at a brisk eight minutes, 15.97 seconds on the school’s brand-new purple track, which was making its debut, and sealed the deal for the UW.
The two schools first faced off in 1901, but this year’s battle will go down as the Year of the King.
