NICK’S PICKS
Boys soccer: Mount Vernon at Squalicum
1 p.m. Friday, March 28
Squalicum High
Last season, Mount Vernon finished second in the Northwest Conference with a 13-4-3 record, while Squalicum was third with a 14-6-0 record. With both teams returning most of their rosters after deep runs in the postseason, it will be a great litmus test. Squalicum will be led by all-conference midfielder Isaac Grimes while Mount Vernon will have staunch defender Eli Natekin.
Track and field: Bedlington Invitation
3:30 p.m. Friday, March 28
Lynden Christian High
Lynden Christian’s track and field team will host nine other Northwest Conference teams in an early season meet. Several top competitors in the 1A, 2A and 3A will compete alongside each other for an early test. Last season, Meridian boys and Lynden girls won the meet.
