Record Performances At Raft River Spring Break Meet

Last Wednesday the Cardinal and Grizzly track teams traveled to Malta to take part in the Raft River Spring Break meet at Raft River High School.  The athletes were treated to a beautiful day of weather which helped assist in several personal records being set as well as a few school records.

The first event of the day was the sprint medley relay.  Each of the boys and girls races had just two schools going head to head in the event.  Those two schools just happened to be Grace and Soda Springs.  Both races were very competitive and entertaining to watch.  Strong anchor legs made the difference in the end for each race.  In the girls race Ellie Wood anchored the Cardinals to the win while Carter Mecham anchored the Grizzlies to the victory in the boys race.  After the sprint medley finished the field events got underway.

With week one of the season landing during spring break for Soda Springs the Cardinals were thrilled to have a larger contingent of athletes at Raft River.  The throwers for the Cardinals had a big day.  Soleil Somsen and Andi Carpenter each earned new pr’s in the shot put and discus with Carpenter also getting a pr in the javelin.  The Cardinal men also threw well with freshman Carson Cook earning new pr’s in all three throwing events and setting a new school record in the javelin.  Not to be outdone Cole Garbett heaved some big throws in the shot put and discus as well.  Garbett’s discus throws had officials wondering if they should have parked the buses farther away.  On one of his throws the discus bounced and landed within inches of one of the team buses.  In the end Garbett has moved into second place in the school record books while easily placing first on the day.  In the running events several Cardinals got off to good starts on the season with many earning season best times.  Landon Moldenhauer earned a pr in the 1600 meter race placing second at the meet.  Senior Degan Stoor in his first meet of the year did not hit his pr’s in the hurdle races but did enough to take home wins in both races.  Several other Cardinals put up good season starting times that they will look to improve on as they move on through the season.   

The Grizzlies also saw some great performances at this meet from both the boys and girls teams.  In fact Grace did well enough for the girls team to earn second place as a team while the boys were the top team at the meet in first place.  The list of pr’s for the Grizzlies is very long so I will just touch on some of the great performances.  Junior Bryant Moss had a monster day as he set new pr’s in three events.  Moss earned best times in both the 100 and 200 meter races as well as getting a big pr in the shot put.  Case Williams also set big new pr’s in the shot put and discus while Carson Reeves was able to move into the top five in school history in the discus with a pr.  Jack Eddins was another Grizzly to move up in the school record books sliding into fifth all time in the pole vault.  Gavin Draper also hit new pr’s in three separate events the 400 meter race, the javelin, and long jump.  Even with all of the pr’s and high placings the Grace boys were outdone by the girls team.  Jeanaelie Shaffer racked up pr’s in the 100 meter race, and the long jump while running some great legs for some of the relay teams.  The Coleman sisters Cally and Lily earned pr’s in the 800 meter race together with Lily earning one in the 1600 meters and Cally getting one in the 3200 meters which she placed first in.  In addition to all of these great performances the girls team also broke two school records on the day.  In the newest event the javelin Tessica Jorgensen threw herself to a new school record by over fifteen feet.  Also earning a new school record in the 800 meter race by beating her own first place time from a year ago was sophomore sensation Brooklyn Porter.  Porter also currently holds the school record in the 1600 meters.  The Grizzlies are off to a good start this season and look to be real contenders for district and state trophies.  Grace will next be in action Friday once again at Preston High school.
