Prairie High senior Will Foster, the defending Class 3A state champion in the boys shot put, placed second at the event at Friday’s prestigious Oregon Relays to highlight athletes competing from Southwest Washington.  Foster’s best throw of 58 feet, 9.50 inches at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field was runner-up to winner Joseph Miraya of Mountain View (Idaho), who had a first-place throw of 60.1-50.  Foster owns Class 3A’s top throw this spring of 60 feet, 1 inch, a personal-best.  The elite field at Oregon Relays also featured Washington’s top-ranked shot putters in Class 4A (Puyallup’s Connor Inman), Class 3A (Foster) and Class 2A (Grandview’s Titus Jeffrey). All three lead their respective classifications in the shot put and own three of the top four marks across all classifications as of April 4. Inman and Jeffrey finished third and fourth, respectively, at Friday’s competition.
