It didn't take long for Eatonville High School's track and field team to put a stamp on the 2013 season. Lucas Hatton set a school record in the boys shot put at 52 feet 1 inch in a non-scoring jamboree March 11. He backed up that winning performance with a victory in the discus, too. And as a team, the Cruisers' boys and girls won their Nisqually League debuts in a four-way meet against Bellevue Christian, Life Christian and Vashon. That was one of three competitions in a busy first week of the season for Eatonville. Here are the highlights: " In the Icebreaker Invitational at Rainier last Saturday, Hatton won the shot put with an effort of 51 feet 3 inches.
