Fourth and fifth grade students from all over Mercer Island squared off in the 45th annual All-Island Track Meet Friday afternoon at Islander Stadium.

Teams from Island Park, Lakeridge, West Mercer and St. Monica School battled through sprints and relays, as well as the long jump, shot put and softball throw competitions.

For the third year in a row, West Mercer Elementary won first place at the event with a team score of 403 points. St. Monica won the Best Spirit award, while Lakeridge earned the honor of loudest fans and Island Park won the Sportsmanship award.

The meet saw one All-Island Track record broken. In the fifth-grade girls 400 meter race, St. Monica’s Makena Wick set a new record with a winning time of 1:05.56.
