Progress and pride

Progress and pride propelled the Panther boys and girls track and field squads to first place at the 12-team Al McKee Invitational Saturday, at Stevenson High School. "Anytime you have success, it breeds a little more confidence and a little more pride," said head coach Dave Hajek. "Our girls and our boys expect to do well. When expectations are driven more by the athletes than the coaches, it's fun to just sit back and watch them perform. I don't feel like I have to say anything. They police themselves and they push themselves to get better." The Washougal boys racked up 166.5 points. Kalama was second with 149 points and all the other teams were under 100. The Panther girls edged La Center 113 to 112.5 for first place. The rest of the teams were under 100.
