They threw weather at him, and a packed field, and yet he endured.
Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk stared down cold, windy conditions and a group of 31 other runners Friday, winning his prelim heat in the 200 at the USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships.
The two-time state champ, who is running for the Kitsap Fliers this spring and summer, hit the tape in 22.58 seconds at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.
That was the best showing in heat #5, and seeds him #3 for the finals in the event.
It also qualified Conlisk for the Junior Olympic Regionals, which go down July 4-7.
His current meet is a three-day affair, with Conlisk scheduled to run in two finals each of the next two days.
He’ll lace up his running shoes for the 400 and 4 x 100 relay Saturday, then head to the line Sunday in the 200 and 4 x 400.
