TACOMA -- With the discus competition winding down, Dan Boyden of Arlington was just moments away from a coveted championship on Friday's second day of the Class 4A state track and field meet at Mount Tahoma High School.Damon Unland of Ferris had one last throw to pull ahead of Boyden into first place. And with all the pressure of a make-or-break toss,bottega veneta replica, Unland let loose an impressive fling of 185 feet, 5 inches -- roughly 5 feet shy of the state meet record -- to snatch the victory away from Boyden.The Arlington senior, competing in his third state meet, settled for second with a throw of 176-2."Damon is an incredible thrower," Boyden said. "It's a little devastating to lose on the last throw, but at least I'm losing to a good thrower.

"That was my best throw," he said.Joining Boyden in the discus finals was a trio of other Western Conference throwers. Wyatt Meyring of Edmonds-Woodway placed fifth (153-0), Nick Demars of Cascade was sixth (152-10) and Joshua Sharpe of Snohomish was seventh (146-1).
