The Hub City Track and Field Club announced their picks for the 2026 Lewis County All-Area Track and Field Team last week, and many of the selections met for a photo at Tiger Stadium in Centralia.
The team was picked based on season-best marks (using Fully Automatic Timing for track events and distances for field events) throughout the 2026 spring season.
Times and marks listed are Lewis County’s best marks of the spring, according to athletic.net.
The year’s team included an even dozen boys and 11 girls, including seven state champions.
“Congratulations to these athletes who represented our area this year,” a statement from the coaches said.
