ONE BIG WEEK DOWN, ONE TO GO
Thanks to everyone that helped make the Region Championships as well as the Junior High North End Championships a huge success. The “usual suspects” went far beyond the expected to make sure that things ran smoothly. A special thanks to the coaches for all of their help. Without your help, it would have been impossible to host either meet, let alone both of them. Your love of the sport and commitment to excellence as an athlete, coach or official was very evident. THANKS!!
REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Boys repeated their 2nd place finish from last year and the Girls moved up a spot to 4th. Great weather and great efforts made for a very successful meet.
The Girls competition was especially tough with Davis, Fremont and Weber in the field. They could very possibly go 1-2-3 at State. Courtney Lemmons had the girls top performance of the meet as her 16'06" mark in the long jump placed 4th and qualified her for State. Brittney Martin’s 35'04 toss in the shot put placed 3rd and she also is off to State. All three relays earned a spot at State with 3rd-place finishes. Courtney and Rachell Lemmons, Sam Segura and Shelby Cadwell ran 52.79 to earn their spot at BYU. Sam, Shelby, Mallory Ashby and Sharlie Dimick finished 3rd in the medley relay running a season’s best 4:29.62. Sam, Sarah Sperry, Cheyna Field and Katrina Dunlap also punched their ticket to State running 4:16.38 in the 4x400m relay. In a highlight event, Michelle Thurgood won the pole vault clearing a school record 8'05. Mallory Ashby and Jaylen Hernandez cleared 7'06 to finish 3rd and 4th. This event is not contested at State but nevertheless, it was a great achievement by the lady vaulters.
Other Lady Titans placing but missing out on the top four State Qualifying spots were:
Katrina Dunlap, 5th 400m dash, 1:02.21;
Cheyna Field, 6th 800m run, 2:25.26;
Jaycie Smith, Sarah Sperry, Marisa Guy, 5th place tie high jump, 4'09.
The Boys had some outstanding efforts securing many spots at the State Championships. In the 100m dash, Kavika Fonua (2nd, 11.19, #2 all-time) and Jake Garver (4th, 11.42) will run again in Provo. Jaxon Worthen (1st, 15.42) and Shane Russell (3rd, 15.58) qualified in the 110m hurdles. Shane (1st, 40.47, #2 all-time), Jake Garver (3rd, 41.26) and Mike Russell (4th, 41.44, #4 all-time) will represent the Titans in the 300m hurdles. Jaxon Hansen (1st, 1:55.06) and Brandon Yardley (2nd, 1:55.85) ran great races to qualify in the 800m run. Jaxon’s time was a new Region One and Stadium Record. While the stadium hasn’t been around long, the Region records go back over three decades. Brennan O’Neil (3rd, 23.29, #6 all-time) and Matt Dunston (4th, 23.30) qualified in the 200m dash. Alex Vanderloo ran 22.84 in the 200m trials to qualify for State but pulled up a little lame and was held out of finals. Jeff Knighton’s 3rd place finish in the 400m dash in 51.55 earned him two (hopefully) more races at State. Brad Sherman won the discus throwing 151'05 and Spencer Hull the shot put with a toss of 50'00. Spencer’s mark is the #3 all-time at Syracuse. Jace Skidmore jumped 20'10.50 to place 4th in the long jump. That is the #2 all-time mark. Mason Woodward’s big PR toss in the javelin of 154'00 placed 3rd and is the #4 all-time mark. And in the pole vault, the “dynamic duo” of Zach Watson (15'00) and Jake Zaugg (14'00) went one-two. Zach’s clearance ties his school record. All three relays had previously qualified for State, but had great performances in scoring big points. Fonua, Garver, Watson and Zaugg ran 44.11 to finish 3rd. Zaugg, Watson, Will Haddick and Landon Greenhalgh also finished 3rd in the medley relay following a circus-type first handoff. And in an exciting climax to the meet, Knighton, Dunston, Yardley and Hansen ran away from the field to win the 4x400m relay in 3:28.97.
Other Titans scoring included:
Dunston, 6th, 400m dash, 52.27;
Ashton Bigelow, 5th, 300m hurdles, 41.81;
Hansen and Yardley, 5th and 6th, 1600m run, 4:26.14 and 4:30.06);
Will Haddick, 7th pole vault, 11'02, #6 all-time);
Nick Merriman, 6th discus, 130'03, #5 all-time) and 8th pole vault (9'08);
Steven Carter, 6th shot put, 43'10;
Braiden Tovey, 7th shot put, 42'11 and 8th discus, 125'11, #6 all-time;
Jarom Hansen, 8th shot put, 42'02.
There were many other great performances just out of the scoring. Distance runners Maddy Neyts, Erin Kibler (12:28, #3 all-time in the 3200), Becca Jacobsen, Katelyn Davidson, Adriana McFarland, Landon Greenhalgh (4:33.71, #7 all-time 1600m), Parker Greenhalgh (4:35.79, #7 all-time 1600m), Cody Kelley (4:38.57, #8 all-time and class record in th 1600m), Tom Hill (10:39.29, #10 all-time 3200m) all had major PR’s in their events. Spencer Woodhall had a 3' PR in the shot put and Jordan Bush big PR’s in the long jump and 200m dash.
It was a bittersweet meet as is was great to see so many outstanding performances. At the same time is was sad thinking that for the seniors, it was their last meet on the Titan track. There were some great memories established over the last three years and some great friendships. It’s going to hard to replace this great class of 2012.
