Cardinals Qualify Fifteen For State Meet

Last week the Cardinals took part in their district track meet.  With the addition of the fourth district teams the competition included seven total teams.  This added depth and competition to the district competition which made it even more impressive for those athletes that did win an individual title and qualified for state.  In the team scoring the Cardinals did somewhat struggle in large part to their lack of numbers compared to some of the other schools.  More athletes means more chances of scoring team points.  The Soda Springs boys team finished in fifth place with a respectable seventy-six points.  In the girls team scoring the top four teams were separated by just sixteen points which is a narrow margin.  The Lady Cardinals competed very well but still finished in fourth place. With the team titles out of reach the Cardinal coaching staff focused on qualifying as many athletes for state as possible.  In this area Soda Springs did a great job.  The Cardinals ended up qualifying seven boys and eight girls for the state meet. 

The Cardinal men had two athletes walk away with individual district titles.  Cole Garbett has dominated the throwing events of the shot put and discus all season and things would not change in districts.  Garbett earned the top spot in both events and is among the top qualifiers for state.  Likewise Degan Stoor has had numerous wins in the two hurdle races in this his senior campaign.  Stoor brought home the district title for both the 110M hurdles as well as the 300M hurdles.  Joining Garbett and Stoor at state in individual events will be Landon Moldenhauer who placed third in the 3200M race and fourth in the 1600M race as well as Landon Martinsen who placed fifth in the triple jump.  Martinsen and Stoor will also run in two relays at state, combining with Kage Kirby, Zayden Garbett, and Jaxson Horsley in the 4x400 and the Medley.

The Lady Cardinals had three girls win district titles in a single event each.  The three district champs are Ellie Wood in the 800M, Lizzie Beutler in the 3200M, and Rosie Harris in the pole vault.  Each district champ also qualified in several other events for the state meet.  Harris added high jump, as well as the medley and 4X400 relays.  Beutler will also compete in the 1600 and 800M races and Wood added the 1600M and the two relays of the 4X400 and medley.  Other qualifiers for the Lady Cardinals include Layla Torman in the 100 and 300 hurdles as well as the two relays, Rebekah Evens in the 800M and the 4X400 relay, Indy Galloway in the 3200M, Madi Kempe in the medley and throwing specialist Soleil Somsen in the shot put, javelin, and discus.

The state meet will be this Friday and Saturday at Middleton High School.  Good luck to all of the Cardinal athletes.
