Junior sprinter Josh Entwisle led off the Spartan boys’ track and field effort with a victory in the 100 meters in a time of 11.3 and then was followed by an avalanche of Stanwood runners, jumpers and tossers who finished among the top four during the Stanwood Twilight Invitational last Friday night as the Sparts were edged by Lake Stevens 210-192 in the seven-team competition.

points), Anacortes (115), Kamiak (36), Monroe (19) and Seattle’s Rainier Beach (6) also competed.
