Adam Kruger of Toledo High School secured runner-up positions in both the triple jump and long jump at the Ridgefield track meet. After a shaky start in the triple jump, he managed to qualify for the finals and perform well.
May 9âRIDGEFIELD â Once Adam Kruger finished his three long jump attempts, saw he hit a new personal best and was in second place, he decided to opt out of the three additional jumps. The reasoning was simple.
Stay as fresh as possible for his marquee event, the triple jump.
It nearly backfired. Kruger scratched his first two leaps, putting him in danger of not medaling in the event he left Yakima with a state medal last spring.
"I was like 'Oh my gosh, I better get in the finals at least,'" Kruger said.
Like he did plenty of times on the gridiron and on the hardwood, the Toledo High School senior came through in the clutch.
His third preliminary attempt was 43 feet, 4.25 inches to put him in the driver's seat for a top-three finish and he eclipsed that mark a jump later of 43-05 to place second at Friday's Spudder Invite held at Ridgefield High School.
Back-to-back PR jumps allowed Kruger to leave feeling relieved. It's been a season of plenty of winning and some second place finishes sprinkled in. Still, there wasn't a lot of offseason work outside of strength-building.
"I've put in the work, my coaches have put me through the right training," Kruger said. "It is fun to see the results.
Practices have been focused on his steps rather than actual jumping, which has allowed for Kruger to be as healthy as possible for meets. He admitted after the triple jump he felt his steps and marks were off a bit, a reason for the two scratches.
He put it all together on the jumps that mattered. Kruger has gone over 40 feet six times this spring, tying the number he registered as a junior. At least in the triple jump, he's aiming for the top podium spot.
"All it takes is a couple inches," Kruger said. "That's really pushed me to be the best version of myself I can be. I know what I can do in my mind and seeing people are out there doing that, like, why not me?"
The long jump is another event Kruger is seeking a medal in. He didn't make it out of districts his freshman season or last spring, but went over 21 feet for the first time on Friday.
"Long is fun," he said.
The Riverhawks, which were the best area finishers in the team race with 45 points to take fourth, also had Trevin Gale place second in the 400-meter dash. He was neck-and-neck with Elma's Ricardo Guadarrama through the staggered turn and both ended up going under the previous meet record of 50.41, set by Hockinson's Nick Barclay in 2014.
Guadarrama's time of 49.37 clipped Gale's 49.95 mark. It was a PR for both.
"It is mostly mentality," Gale said. "Last year and the beginning of this year, I was always like 'Man, that's the worst race in track. Who wants to run a lap at full speed?'
"Everyting thinks those people are the dogs and I wanted to be that dog. It is probably my favorite event if I had to choose."

For the first three years of his prep career, Gale was a fixture on the football field, but injuries kept him out his senior season. He admitted it was difficult to watch his buddies get to play at Husky Stadium in the Class 2B state championship game.
The sacrifice of not playing football was to go after a state track and field title.
"I had to do what's best for me," Gale said. "It definitely helped me focus on track. I don't regret what I did and I'm happy I made the choice."
It's now back-to-back weeks of Gale going under 50 seconds. He also placed fourth in the open 200 in a new season-best of 22.81 out of Lane 7 and eighth in the 100 from the first heat.
"Consistency is always good, no matter the time," Gale said. "The peak is where it'll be most exciting for me."
Elsewhere for Toledo, Conner Hill placed top-five in the 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs, nabbing a PR in the former. Cooper Fallon (discus) and Brody Lawrence (javelin) both placed sixth. Lawrence made the finals out of the first flight.
Rainier's Willie Mendoza tied his PR in the pole vault of 12-06 to take second. It's his final meet of the season; he'll be participating in FFA state for the Mountaineers. He left with three attempts at 13-even, but couldn't clear the bar.
"I'm happy with 12-06," Mendoza said. "I was learning to get my arm straight, kind of force it straight, that has been helping me."
He'll have a full offseason to attempt to break the school record next spring, currently held by Brayden Lasher and Ryan Doidge at 14-feet.
"I'd like to," Mendoza stated.
The Mountaineers had the lone boys win from the area in the 800 relay. Their quartet of Jacob Hanson, James Morrison, Jordan Pringle and Alex Salinas ran around the track in 1:37.18. Zach Hamilton (3,200) and Morrison (800) each registered top-six finishes.
Tenino's Tucker Matheson was fourth in the high jump, Winlock's Arean Thapa took seventh in the shot put and MWP's Mathew Parvin secured a pair of top-four placements in the long jump and 100.
Napavine's 400 and 1,600-meter relays placed in the top-seven, with Masen Jeg, Travis Kirkpatrick and Ryan Groves running in both of them.
