Indoor Track Update - February 9, 2009

STATE INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Utah Indoor Championships were a great success for the Titans. In spite of many missing events because of the ACT tests, the Boys came away with a 3rd place finish and the Girls were 4th. Over 30 teams competed in the meet.
Tyrell Yardley had the performance of the meet as he won the 200m dash in 21.84. That is the fastest time ever run indoors in Utah. Aaron Hill had a great meet setting school records in the shot put (46'02.50, 6th place) and weight throw (47'00", 4th place). Chris Jackson broke his own school record in the 60m hurdles running 8.68 to place 3rd. Anthony Winegar was 6th running 8.93. Preston Williams’ 2:06.00 in the 800m run and Jake Rossmango’s 4:40.66 in the 1600m run were both school records. Kyle Kelly had a great meet with two big PR’s in the 1600 and 3200. The 4x400m relay team of Winegar, Jackson, Yardley and Chris Smith ran 3:35.70 to place 3rd. Rossmango, Williams, Austin Costley and Weston Atkins also placed 3rd in the 4x800m relay in 8:48.44. Both relays were school records.
The Girls were lead by Jessica Pauni and Hanna Williams. Jessica won the weight throw with a toss of 31'02.50 and was 4th in the shot put at 34'03.50. Mary Pauni and Julia Moore placed 4th and 5th in the weight throw. Hannah had a great meet running 2:26.52 in the 800m run and 5:21.50 in the 1600m run good enough for 5th place. Both marks are school records. Mikelann Wilcox and Kiana Tebbs also had big PR’s in the 1600. Kelsey Westbroek picked up a 6th place finish in the triple jump leaping 25'03. Sasha Russell broke her own school record running 28.23 in the 200m dash. Shelby Cadwell was also under the old record as she ran 28.56. Lindsey McFarland just missed the 400m dash record as she finished 8th in 1:02.77. Lindsey, Shelby, Sasha and Hilary Peterson ran 4:24.00 in the 4x400m relay to place 4th and set a school record. Hannah and McKayla Williams, Mikelann Wilcox and Taylee Hamblin placed 2nd in the 4x800m relay in a school record time of 10:40.69.
17 school records- not a bad meet for the Titans. Of course things get a great deal more competitive when we get going outdoors, but it was a great meet. Complete results can be found at: http://www.uhstca.blogspot.com/
