Cardinals Are Ready For District Meet
May 07, 2025 12:37PM ● By Jody Reeves
Soleil Somsen throws the javelin at the Direct.Com meet earlier this season. Somsen has improved all season in the event and should perform well at districts.
The Soda Springs track team prepared for the upcoming district meet by competing in their final regular season meet at Declo. The Cardinal men saw a mixed bag at this final meet. Some of the Cardinals continued to make improvements while others took the opportunity to rest from some of their usual events and took part in some new events. Others still, took a relaxed approach so they could save themselves for the district meet. Distance runner Landon Moldenhauer only ran one race the 1600 meters but he did set a new pr in the event and placed first at the meet. Hurdle specialist Degan Stoor took the week off from hurdles but set a new pr in the 200 meter race setting a new pr and placing third overall. Finally Cole Garbett once again swept the shot put and discus placing first in both events.
The Lady Cardinal sprinters took a different approach with each of them going all out. Every girl that ran in the sprint races for Soda Springs earned either a new pr or a season best time. Distance runners Ellie Wood and Lizzie Beutler put up some season best times with Wood winning the 800 meter race and Beutler winning the 1600 meter race. Layla Torman placed second in the 300 hurdle race while setting a new pr. Lastly Soleil Somsen has quietly been improving in the throwing events. Somsen earned new pr distances in the shot put and javelin placing fifth in the shot put and an impressive second in the javelin.
The Cardinals seem to be primed and ready for districts this week. That district meet will be a two day affair taking place Wednesday and Thursday at Kimberly. The Cardinals have several athletes that will be vying for spots in the state meet. If you are able, make the trip to Kimberly and support these great young people one last time before state.
