Two finals down, two to go.
Coupeville grad Danny Conlisk stormed through the Saturday session of the three-day USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships, picking up two top-five finishes.
Running at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Conlisk, who is competing with the Kitsap Fliers this summer, finished 2nd in the 400, and he and his teammates claimed 5th in the 4 x 100.
He zipped across the line in 50.52 seconds in his individual event.
The Fliers relay squad struggled in the early legs, but got a big surge down the backstretch from their Coupeville ace and finished in 44.76.
Conlisk competes in two more finals Sunday, when he’ll run in the 200 and the 4 x 400 relay.
After that, he returns to action June 29 at the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.
Conlisk is also scheduled to appear at the USATF Region 13 Junior Olympic Championships July 4-7 and the Pacific Coast Championship Games July 13-14.
After wrapping up the summer track season, the two-time state champion is off to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he’ll run for the NCAA D-II school on scholarship.
