More meets and more Herriman and State Qualifiers from PV Track and Field!
DH Multi and Distance Carnival: Cierra Costa and Brianna Loya both participated in the heptathlon at the DH Multi. And both put in very strong performances. Cierra won multiple events and almost medaled despite NH on the High Jump. Keaton Jorgenson and Colin Tudor both did great in the decathlon (minus pole vault). In the distance section of the meet we got a few more Herriman Qualifiers and set new school records in both the boys and girls 4x800's - congrats to everyone on those teams: Logan Hall, Skylar Abel, Paul Gaona, and Nick Hill; Jacey Finch, Alli Peterson, Rylee Holt and Caroline Clements! New to this meet this year was an inclusion of a few other events which turned out great for Brian Johnson as he hit a State Qualifier in the discus!
DH Invite: 18 more Herriman Qualifiers and 5 new or improved State Qualifiers at DH this past weekend. Cierra improved on her 300h mark, Neitana went to 3-0 in invites with a new jav PR, Jacey went 5:17 in her 1600, and Kawika broke off a couple big jumps to go over 20' in the long jump. And the performance of the meet was the boys' medley team that set a new school record of 3:35.48 (despite some controversy!) - congrats to Kawika Santiago, Sampson Doyle, Paul Gaona, and Nick Hill on taking down the 15 year old record!
