Four for four.
Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk finished the three-day USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships having qualified for regionals in all of his events.
He’s eligible to compete in the 200, 400, 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 at that event, which is a precursor to nationals.
Regionals is July 4-7 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, the same place Conlisk ran this weekend.
After finishing 2nd in the 400 and 5th in the 4 x 1 Saturday, Conlisk roared to a 6th in the 200 Sunday.
Not feeling his best, he sat out the 4 x 4 finals Sunday, but is one of six Kitsap Fliers runners listed in the event, so advances along with his team.
Before regionals, Conlisk is slated to return to the track oval June 29 at South Kitsap Stadium for the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.
This is the second-straight summer Conlisk, a 2019 Coupeville High School grad, has run with the Fliers track team.
At the end of the summer, the two-time state champ departs Washington state and is bound for the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.
Conlisk will be running track on scholarship for the NCAA D-II school.
