UHSTCA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Olympic Ice Oval was the site of some outstanding performances by the Titans. In the only scoring meet of the indoor season, the Lady Titans finished 2^nd and the Boys 3^rd. Over 60 schools from Utah and Wyoming competed.

The meet created a great deal of extra work for me as it took a lot longer to update the Performance and All-Time lists as well as School Records. That’s some extra work I really enjoy.

TEAM points for the Lady Titans came from the following:

Cidnee Davies- 1^st 60m hurdles (9.45, School Record); 5^th long jump (16'06.50, School Record); 6^th high jump (4'10).
Suzy Robertson- 2^nd 60m hurdles (9.67, #2 all-time).
Mallory Ashby- 2^nd pole vault (8'00).
Brenn Flint- 3^rd shot put (35'00.25).
Jentry Skidmore- 5^th 60m dash (8.20, #2 all-time).
Isabella Williams- 6^th 800m run (2:22.88, School Record).
Suzy, Mallory, Isabella and Sharlie Dimick- 2^nd 4x400m relay (4:22.63).     

Leading the Boys to their 2^nd place finish included:
Karson Nielson - 3^rd 60m hurdles (8.43, School Record);
Colton Yardley - 5^th 60m hurdles (8.78, #4 all-time); 6^th triple jump (37'06.50, #5 all-time).
Nick Merriman - 3^rd pole vault (13'00, #3 all-time); 4^th long jump (20'07, School Record). 
Kavika Fonua - 6^th 60m dash (7.20).   
Caden Call - 7^th shot put (45'07.75).
Blake Taurone - 5^th triple jump (38'07, #2 all-time). 
Taurone, Hunter Woodhall, Broderic Hall and Lucas Pectol- 5^th 4x200m relay (1:36.91).     
Yardley, Merriman, Nielson and Loren Burrell- 3^rd 4x400m relay (3:34.28).      

There were many huge PR’s that took place besides the ones scoring points. Here are just a few:
Adriana McFarland - 7 seconds in the 800 and 8 seconds in the 1600;
Gabby Young - 4.5 seconds in the 1600;
Renee Peterson - 16 seconds in the 1600;
Karissa Jacob - 20 seconds in the 1600;
Becca Jacobsen - 18 seconds in the 3200;
Hunter Woodhall - 4 seconds in the 400;
Loren Burrell - 1.5 seconds in the 400;
Cody Kelley - 5.7 seconds in the 800 and 6.3 seconds in the 1600;
Zach Griffin - 7 seconds in the 800 and 5 seconds in the 1600;
Tanner Robb - 6 seconds in the 1600;
Brady Cook - 3 seconds in the 1600;
Lane Dunstan - 9 seconds in the 800;
Zack Burrell - 13 seconds in the 1600;
Tyler Fessler - 5 seconds in the 3200;
Carson Andreasen - 4 seconds in the 3200.

There was another great performance during the meet. That was by the entire Titan TEAM that was so willing to jump in and help out moving hurdles, blocks, etc., to keep the meet moving. It did not go unnoticed by the coaches of other teams. THANKS for showing that the Titans are not just a good team athletically, but an even better group of young men and women.
