  • Marymoor Park Velodrome to Host Pacific Northwest Cycling Classic

    The historic Marymoor Park Velodrome will host the inaugural Pacific Northwest Cycling Classic this June, drawing elite cyclists from across the region for three days of track racing competition.

    Event organizers expect more than 200 cyclists to compete in categories ranging from junior development to elite professional. The velodrome has undergone recent renovations including resurfaced banking and upgraded lighting.

    King County Parks director Lisa Nakamura called the event a showcase for Redmond’s outdoor recreation infrastructure. “Marymoor Park is a crown jewel, and this event puts it on the national cycling map.”

    General admission tickets are $15 for adults, with children under 12 admitted free. VIP packages are available at redmondcyclingclassic.com.

  • Redmond Mustangs Clinch KingCo Conference Baseball Title

    The Redmond High School Mustangs captured the KingCo Conference baseball championship Saturday with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Eastlake at Hartman Park, securing the program’s first conference title in six years.

    Senior pitcher Jake Thornton delivered a masterful performance on the mound, striking out nine batters over six innings before giving way to closer Ryan Matsuda, who recorded the final three outs.

    The decisive moment came in the bottom of the seventh when junior outfielder Marcus Rivera launched a two-run double into the right-center gap, breaking a 3-3 tie.

    “These kids have worked so hard all season,” said head coach Tom Bradley. The Mustangs now advance to the 3A state tournament at Everett Memorial Stadium next weekend.
