Cardinals and Cowboys Hit the Track

On Friday the Cardinal and Cowboy track teams escaped the snow covered grounds of Caribou County and made the trek to Malta to take part in the Raft River time trials.  The Lady Cardinals had a great showing as they brought a large contingency of athletes.  In the 100 and 200 meter sprints the Lady Cardinals would claim five of the top ten spots in each event.  They were led by Brooklyn Kempe who finished in 2nd place in each race while posting PR’s (personal record) in both.  In the 400 meter race Kempe would grab first place and post another PR followed by Macee Simmons and Madilyn Kempe in second and third place respectively as well as Aspen Christensen in fifth place.  Rebekah Evans would take third in the 800 meter and second in the 1600 meter race behind teammate India Galloway who would also place second in the 3200 meter race.  The Cardinal throwers were also well represented with seven different girls throwing shot put and discus.  Izzy Shelton was the top thrower finishing second in the shot and fourth in the discus.  Rosie Harris would place third in the high jump and grab first in the pole vault.  Kristin Hansen would take second in the long jump with a PR with fellow jumpers Ashley Dalley and Kylee Fulmer each getting PR’s as well.  Overall the Lady Cardinals would take first place in the team scoring with 133 total team points.  

The Cardinal men would be far less in number than their counterparts but would see their fair share of success.  Caleb Thompson would lead the Cardinals off in the 100 meter finishing sixth followed closely by Landon Martinsen in ninth.  In the 200 meter race Degan Stoor would place third with Thompson coming in fifth.  Thompson would have his best finish of the day in the 400 meter race where he would place second.  Dre Lloyd would be the lone runner for the Cardinals in the 800 and 1600 where he would finish seventh and third.  Degan Stoor would dominate the hurdle races where he would take the top spot in both the 110 and 300 meters.  Dre Lloyd would get a PR in pole vault and Landon Martinsen would grab second place in the long jump with a PR of his own.  Overall the Cardinal men would finish with 57 team points and place fourth as
a group.  

For the Lady Cowboys Kaylin Jenkins would PR in the 100 meter race coming in just ahead of teammate Kymberli Jensen.  In the 200 meter race Jenkins and Jensen would be joined by Mariah O’Brien as all three would get PR’s.  Mariah O’Brien and Indyana Hatch would each PR in the 400 meter race.  Indyana Hatch and Sadie Daniels would take fourth and sixth respectively in the long jump and the girls 4X100 relay would place seventh.  Overall it was a good starting point to the season for the
Lady Cowboys.  

For the Cowboy men all four runners that competed in the 100 meters would PR with the fastest time coming from Isaac Yost.  The Cowboys would have four PR’s in the 200 meter race as well with Alex Curtis, Evan O’Brien, Rusten Hatch and Helber Langrus.  Rusten Hatch would also run the 400 meter placing eighth overall.  The Cowboy throwers would perform well with Rusten Hatch placing second and Evan O’Brien placing third in the shot put.  Fellow throwers Isaac Yost and Hyrum Barnes would PR in the shot as well.  In the discus Evan O’Brien would take the top spot in the meet with Yost posting another PR.  Alex Curtis and Helber Langrus would finish off the individual events with each getting a PR in the long jump.  The Cowboys would add a third place finish in the 4X100 relay and post 32 team points coming in fifth place overall.
