Cardinals Stay Busy On The Track

The Soda Springs Cardinals kept themselves busy last week by participating in two separate track meets.  They kicked their week off by hosting a district preview meet on Tuesday that featured many of their district foes as well as Preston and North Gem.  Following that meet they wrapped up their week by traveling to Logan Utah to take part in the very large and competitive Grizzly Invitational at Logan High School.  

In their home meet the Cardinals finished right in the middle of the pack in both the boys and girls competition.  Both the boys and girls finished above Preston, Declo and North Gem but came in behind West Side, Malad and Aberdeen.  Despite coming in behind their biggest district rivals in the team scoring, several Cardinals were able to manage hitting new personal bests in this meet.  Some notable performances by the boys team were as follows.  Zayden Garbett hit a new best time in the 200 meter sprint and finished fifth overall.  Landon Moldenhauer earned a season best time in the 800 meter race and also finished in fifth overall followed by teammate Johnathan Beutler who came in seventh.  The 4x400 relay team of Jaxson Horsley, Kage Kirby, Landon Martinsen, and Landon Moldenhauer grabbed the top spot in that race.  Landon Martinsen also earned a season best distance in the long jump finishing in second place as did Jaxson Horsley in the triple jump.  Cole Garbett continued his terrific season with first place finishes in both the shot put and discus.  Garbett also inched closer to a new school record in the shot put by breaking his own personal record.  Garbett's sophomore teammate, Carson Cook is following in his footsteps and finished in fourth place in each of those events.

The Lady Cardinals also saw some good individual performances.  Soleil Somsen threw her way to a third place finish in the shot put and a fourth place finish in the discus.  Her teammate Andi Carpenter earned a new personal record in the discus and finished in fifth place.  Rosie Harris had a great day placing in the top five in three individual events.  Harris finished fourth in the pole vault, second in the high jump and earned a new personal best time finishing second in the 200 meter sprint.  Taylie Brewer finished just a few spots behind Harris in that 200 meter spring coming in in fourth place.  Freshman Brinley Kunz grabbed third in the 3200 meter race but it was the senior Ellie Wood who won the day.  Wood earned first place overall in both the 800 meter and the 1600 meter races. 

While the home meet featured just seven teams the Grizzly invite had thirty-three teams from three states and various sizes of schools participating.  With such a large field of athletes any top ten finishes should be viewed as impressive and the Cardinals got their fair share of those.  Lady Cardinals Kristin Hansen and Emerey Lakey cracked the top ten in the triple jump placing seventh and eighth respectively.  Rosie Harris vaulted her way to a second place finish in the pole vault and Soleil Somsen finished tenth in the shot put.  Distance runner Ellie Wood came in tenth in the 400 meter sprint and a fourth place finish in the 1600 meter race.  For the Cardinal men Landon Moldenhauer and Jace Garbett finished fourth and fifth in the pole vault.  Jaxson Horsley and Landon Martinsen earned new personal bests in the 400 meter race with Horsley finishing seventh and Martinsen coming in eighth.  Last but certainly not least Cole Garbett once again took the top spot in both the shot put and discus.

The Cardinals will continue their season this weekend when they travel to the campus of Idaho State University to take part in the Direct.com meet.
