Cowboys Throw Several PR’s

North Gem's Indyana Hatch led the team in the long jump in last weeks meet.
The North Gem track team attended the Cardinal Invite in Soda Springs last week. The meet got off to a late start due to a microburst storm that came through right at the start of the meet. The delay didn’t dampen the Cowboys efforts through the event. The meet was a smaller, more intimate competition with just three schools in attendance. The Cowboys joined the host school Soda Springs and Malad to make up the field of competitors.
The Cowboys were missing some of their athletes for this meet but those that did attend made some great advances on their personal best marks. The greatest improvements for the boys team came in the throwing events. Landon Hayes placed sixth in both the shot put and discus while setting new pr’s in both. The other two Cowboy throwers did even better. Hyrum Barnes earned pr’s while placing third in both the javelin and shot put as well as placing second in the discus. Finally Haydn Frandsen placed fourth in discus, second in shot put and won the javelin competition with pr’s in all three events.
The Lady Cowboys also earned several new pr’s on the day while turning in good performances in several relay races as well. The girls placed first in the 4X200 and 4X400 relays and second in the medley relay. Individually freshman Ciara O’Brien had the best day setting new personal bests in the 100 meter dash, javelin, and long jump. Ciara’s teammate Indyana Hatch got a pr in the long jump as well while placing second overall.
The Cowboys will stay relatively close again this week as they will travel to Bear Lake for their final meet before districts.
