Thanks to 18 individual titles and four relay wins, the Inglemoor High Vikings won both the boys and girls championships of the Northshore District track-and-field meet on Friday.

Andy Palmer, Mickey Mukai and Austin Victor led the boys team with two individual wins apiece.

The boys team scored 84 points, ahead of Bothell’s 60 and Woodinville’s 37.

Brandon Thurston (shot put, 49-6.5) and Paul Ena (400, 52.0) won the other two boys individual titles. Inglemoor also won both relays, including the close 100 relay race when Inglemoor edged Woodinville by three-tenths of a second (43.7 to 44.0). Inglemoor also won the 400-meter relay with a time of 3:27.1 ahead of Bothell’s 3:30.7.

Trey Parry won two distance events to lead the Bothell contingent. Parry and fellow Cougar Ashkon Nima were the first two across the finish line in the 800, with Parry finishing with a personal-best 1:58.2. The junior also had a personal best in the 1,600 with a mark of 4:22.7 to take the title.

The Cougars won gold in two throwing events, with Jackson Pierce winning the discus at 149-4 and Steven Wilhelmy winning the javelin at 170-9.
