The Cowboys Run In Malad

The North Gem track team continued their season last week running in the Malad Invitational.  There were eleven teams at the meet, most of which were 3A and 4A schools.  Being the smallest school at the event made it difficult for the Cowboys to compete.  In the 100 meter sprint alone there were seventy-five girls and over one hundred boys competing.  Although they were unable to have any top finishers at the meet several of the Cowboy athletes were able to post some great marks with many putting up new personal best times. 

For the boys team Clay Johnson, Stone Wight, William Wakley, John Roberts and Brandon Lee all earned new personal bests in the 100 meters.  Stone Wight continued to improve his distance running and earned a new PR in the 3200 meter race.  Clay Johnson also jumped to a new PR in the long jump as did Jeremiah Perry.  Perry followed that PR up with a new PR in the triple jump as well.  

The girls team was limited on their numbers for this meet but still saw some good improvements.  Sadie Daniels earned a new season best time in the 100 meters followed closely by Indyana Hatch who ran a new personal best time.  Hatch was also one of only two top ten finishers in the meet when she came in tenth place in the long jump.  The other top ten finisher was Gracie Christensen who finished in eighth place in the 400 meter race while earning a new PR.

This week the Cowboys will travel to Murtaugh High School to participate in the Jennifer Crystal Invitational on Thursday.  With the weather forecast showing a dip in temperature it will be more of a traditional east Idaho track meet.
