Local Track Teams Finish Regular Season

Jody Reeves

On May 1st several track and field teams gathered in Dayton for the final track meet of the season before district meets begin.  With a mix of snow, rain, sunshine and wind Soda Springs, Grace and North Gem were among the teams competing at West Side High School.  With districts right around the corner there was a multitude of strategies at play to maximize athletes chances of success leading into the final two meets of the year.

Soda Springs

The Cardinal men did not see big changes in the running events.  Zayden and Cole Garbett each PRed in the 100 meter race.  Degan Stoor dominated the hurdles once again, winning both races in convincing fashion.  In the field events, Cole Garbett did very well in the throwing events, placing second in the shot put and winning the discus.  Cooper Thompson earned a season best jump in the high jump, while Landon Martinsen and Mason Finlayson each leaped to PR’s in the triple jump.  The Lady Cardinals would once again see team scoring success with their combination of talent and number of athletes.  As a team, the girls won the meet with a high score of 152.5.  The Lady Cards had five girls set season records in the 100 meters and two others PR in the 200 meter race.  Jinettie Garbett swept the sprints winning all three races.  Rebekah Evans won the 800 meter race with a season record and Lizzie Beutler and India Galloway placed second and third in the 3200 meter race.  Anna Petrova placed third in the 300m hurdles while Addie Hill set a PR.  The 4x100, 4x200, and medley relays all took top honors.  Chloe Garbett set PR’s in both the shot put and discus.  Rosie Harris set a PR in the pole vault while placing first place and finished second in the high jump.  The Lady Cardinals saw a handful of other jumpers and throwers earn PR’s on the day as well.  With the projected weather forecast, the district meet has been moved to Wednesday and Thursday and will take place at Bear Lake High School.  Several of the Cardinal athletes are ranked very well in the district and should do great at the meet.  With the high level of competition in the 5th district this year several wild card spots to state could end up going to Soda athletes as well.

Grace

The Lady Grizzlies were a little reserved in their approach to this meet, choosing to save some of their energy for the district meet next week.  Brooklyn Porter did PR in the 400 meters being the only Grizzly to compete in any of the sprints.  Tessica Jorgensen snagged a PR in the 800 and Tayler Yost grabbed second place in the 300m hurdles.  Bella Eddins and Skyla Cloud each set PR’s in some of the jumping events.  The Grizzly men saw a mix of PR’s and athletes getting some first marks in new events for them.  Carson Welch and Bryant Moss each PR’ed in the 100 meter race.  Adrian Mejia earned a season best in the 400 meter and posted a new PR on his way to winning the 800 meter race.  Parker Yost shone in the hurdle races, setting PR’s in both distances.  The 4x100 relay represented well, earning third place at the meet.  Carson Reeves threw to a new PR in the shot put.  Jack Eddins tried his hand at some jumps and got PR’s in the pole vault, high jump, and triple jump.  Kaylum Balczewski also PR’ed in the triple jump.  The Grizzlies will travel to Thunder Ridge High School in Idaho Falls for their district meet on May 9th and 10th.  Grace will rely on a variety of athletes to try to earn team points and vie for a district title.

North Gem

The Cowboys would enter last week's meet as one of the smallest teams in terms of number of athletes.  Despite the low numbers the Cowboys would give it their all and see some great strides heading into districts.  The boys team started off with Rusten Hatch and Helber Langrus earning PR’s in the 100 meter race.  Alex Curtis joined the PR club earning one in the 200 meters.  Haydn Frandsen would round out the running PR’s with earning his in the 800 meter race.  Hyrum Barnes was the sole Cowboy to PR in a field event for the boys team as he set one in the discus.  The Lady Cowboys would also get some good performances from their athletes.  Kaylin Jenkins set a PR in the 100 meter race.  She would be followed up by Indyana Hatch and Mariah O’Brien who both set PR’s in the 400 meter sprint.  Shalyn Thompson set a season best in the 3200 meter race and earned a PR in the 1600 meters.  Kymberli Jensen would round out the PR’s for the Cowboys with hers coming in the long jump.  The Cowboys will join the Grizzlies at the 1A 5/6th district meet in Idaho Falls at Thunder Ridge High School on May 9th and 10th.
