Eatonville Athletes Earn SPSL 2A Spring All-League Honors

A strong spring sports season for Eatonville High School produced a lengthy list of South Puget Sound League 2A all-league honorees, with student-athletes earning recognition across track and field, girls tennis, baseball and fastpitch softball.

Eatonville placed 16 athletes on all-league teams across the four sports, a reflection of the depth and competitiveness the Cruisers brought to the league throughout the spring slate.

Track and field led the way in terms of total honorees, with Eatonville placing seven athletes across first and second team selections. Jarrin Ragazzo, Austin Connor and Ava Tatro each earned first-team honors in the javelin, pole vault and pole vault, respectively. The Cruisers' second-team contingent was equally impressive, with Jacob Simons earning recognition in the 100 meters, Gabe Kolsrud in the 3,200 meters, David McClain in the high jump and Mason Kinley in the shot put.

The program's success this spring did not go unnoticed at the league level. Track and field coach Geoff Olson was named the SPSL 2A Coach of the Year, an acknowledgment of the work he and his staff put into developing one of the more well-rounded rosters in the classification. Eatonville qualified 27 athletes for the district championships earlier this spring, and the program produced a state champion in Taylor Johnson, who captured four titles in the ambulatory division at the WIAA State Championships.

In girl’s tennis, the doubles tandem of Jessie Zumwalt and Isabel Volk continued to build on a strong season by landing on the first team. Rilynne Johnson, Emma Abston and Charlotte Stumph each earned second-team honors to round out the Cruisers' representation in the sport.

On the baseball diamond, outfielder Ryder Herbrand was the lone Eatonville player to crack the first team, capping a standout individual season with one of the program's more prestigious individual honors. Pitcher Ben Smith and catcher Santiago Ruvalcaba each earned second-team recognition, giving the Cruisers three total selections in the sport.

The Lady Cruisers fastpitch program had arguably the strongest showing of any Eatonville team when it came to all-league recognition. Four players earned first-team honors, with Amy Tozier and Ryleigh Chopic both named at infield, Kaitlyn Kenney recognized in the outfield and Lilah Chapman honored as a designated player. The quartet helped anchor an Eatonville squad that competed deep into the postseason before falling to North Mason in the district playoffs.

Three additional Lady Cruisers landed on the second team. Josie Lavergne earned recognition as a pitcher, Aubree Mills was honored in the outfield and Morgan Laird picked up a nod at infield, giving Eatonville seven total selections in fastpitch and 16 across all spring sports.
