Washington High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Corbett takes 2nd in 400 behind Superman

Thu - 17 May Written by Jim Ecker

DES MOINES - Nick Corbett came to the Class 4A state track meet Thursday to win the 400 meter dash, but he couldn't be too disappointed with second place.

He lost to Superman, aka James Harrington of Cedar Falls, one of the top high school track athletes of all time in Iowa.

Harrington normally torments sprinters in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, but he added the 400 to his bag of tricks Thursday to score more points for his team. The victim was Corbett, a rapidly improving junior from Cedar Rapids Washington.

Harrington won the Class 4A 400 in 48.27 seconds. Corbett took second in 49.46 and beat some good quarter-milers to claim the silver medal.

Hammond and Kamin doing double duty for Wash

Tue - 15 May Written by Sher Jasperse

You might well wonder why Washington’s best girls tennis player and top golfer are running around on a collision course with other athletes as center-midfielders on the Warriors soccer team.

Call it the yin to their yang for two talented athletes who simply can’t choose between their favorite sports – even when those two sports are played during the same season.

“Tennis and soccer are completely different atmospheres,” says senior Katie Hammond, the No. 1 singles player on the Warriors’ undefeated tennis team, currently ranked No. 2 in the state in Class 2A. Hammond sports a dazzling 12-0 record and is ranked No. 2 in singles.
