Athletes talk about being “in the zone” — that rare, sublime experience where you are locked into the moment and time slows. You are hitting the sweet spot, your swing is perfect, the ball appears huge and accomplishment is close to effortless.

Calvin Gutierrez, a Western Washington University sophomore hammer thrower from Everett’s Mariner High, found himself in the zone during the Pee Wee Halsell Invitational track meet at Civic Stadium in Bellingham on April 24.
