Shorewood was represented well at the State meet this past weekend at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma on May 23rd - 25th, 2024.

The trip was a wonderful showcase of the talent from across the State as well as from our community. On extremely windy and sometimes sprinkling (story of the season) days the athletes competed with the best from around the state.

It was a tough field. The athletes competed well - all should be proud of their efforts, and all should be proud of the athletes representing Shorewood Track & Field. 

The girls team placed 17th in the entire State in the 3A classification and Shorewood boys team placed 19th. There were 51 scoring teams in girls 3A and 48 scoring teams in boys 3A.

Four athletes broke school records that had stood from 14 to 42 years.

Mila Fotinatos #6 placed 14th in the 200m. In the 400m she placed 6th while breaking her own school record from a couple weeks ago! previously from 35 yrs ago.
