The Washington Demons’ last warm-up before their conference track & field meet was an excellent outing, as the boys captured the team championship and the girls finished runner-up in team scoring at Monday’s Brookhart-Crew Relays in Fairfield.

Senior Brayden Hartman also was a winner again in the discus, hitting the top toss of 149 feet even.

Demon senior Aidan Ulin had his first victory of the season in the 100-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 11.12 seconds, while Washington’s sprint medley team was a winner with a time of one minute 38 seconds. Hartman was a runner-up in the shot put, as was sophomore Logan McDole in the 800 meters and senior Ethan Pattterson in the 200.

On the girls’ side, Washington’s 125 points put them 27 behind champion Mount Pleasant.
