Prep track and field: Best friends Dubiel and Mervin make one last run at state titles

Mountlake Terrace track stars Allison Mervin and Brynlee Dubiel, both seniors competing for the Hawks, are chasing state titles this spring after narrow misses last year. Mervin finished second in the 3A triple jump by tiebreaker, while Dubiel placed second in the 300-meter hurdles and third in the 100-meter hurdles. Both have started strong this season, winning all their events at early meets. The state championship meet is May 28–30 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.
