Conlisk and Co. show off their medal haul from this weekend’s USATF Region 13 Junior Olympics track and field meet.
It was a finale, but not THE finale.
Coupeville grad Danny Conlisk officially closed his high school track and field career Sunday, running for the third-straight day at the USATF Region 13 Junior Olympic Championships.
Fighting through a nasty summer cold, the two-time state champ claimed a pair of 7th place finishes in the 200 and 4 x 400 relay.
Conlisk hit the line in 22.58 in the 200, while he and his Kitsap Fliers teammates combined to put up a time of 3:34.12 in the meet-ending relay.
The top five finishers in each event advanced to the national meet, which is scheduled for July 22-28 in Sacramento.
And while he earned a ticket to the big dance in the 400 earlier at regionals, Conlisk will pass on making the trip to California.
It would have been his second-straight appearance at nationals, but the combination of the chest cold, and getting ready for college, factored into the decision.
Conlisk is headed to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he will run on scholarship for the NCAA D-II school.
