Mead sprinter Dominick Corley wins 100-meter dash at Pasco Invite

PASCO – Mead’s Dominick Corley was just waiting for the right meet and right conditions to put together a complete race in the 100-meter dash.
With the weather cooperating for the 60th annual Pasco Invitational, Corley’s opportunity was there for the taking, and he delivered.
Corley highlighted a great day of competition for Spokane-area schools, clocking a personal-best and state-leading time of 10.45 seconds to win the boys 100 final on Saturday at Edgar Brown Memorial Stadium .
“I was really excited,” Corley said. “It was hot, some good competition. I was like, ‘This is the meet to throw down.’ ”
Corley began with a 10.6 effort in the preliminary round to advance his way into the 100 final later in the afternoon. In the 100 final, Corley ran away from the field, winning by 31-hundredths of a second over West Valley-Yakima’s Benjamin Pupplo (10.76).
“I’m happy but still got work to do a lot of improvement,” Corley said. “Not done yet.”
