Fans voted early and often for 2015 Northwest graduate Diego Zarate in the first round, earning him an upset victory over second-seeded sprinter Brendon Stewart. Zarate won four individual state titles at Northwest and could have added more if he had not been forced to miss most of the 2015 outdoor meet due to sickness. (Photo by Lisa McArthur)
