Where will this Lynden speedster be burning up the track next spring?
Lynden senior Jasmyn Neria has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete for the Central Washington University track and field team next spring, according to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference website.
Neria won the Northwest Conference title in the 400 meters with a time of 59.14 seconds on Friday and Civic Stadium and helped the Lions’ 4x400 relay place third at the meet. Her time of 58.65 seconds at the April 1 Liberty Invite matches Cheney’s Alsatta Bakana for the state’s best Class 2A mark so far this spring and is the 12th-fastest time in all classifications.
Last spring she finished second at state in the 400 in 58.04 seconds, helped the Lions place second in the 4x200 relay at state and win a Class 2A state title in the 4x400 relay. She has placed in the top five at state in the 400 in her first three years as a Lion.
Neria also was a member of Lynden’s state championship basketball team last month, averaging 8.4 points per game.
