Titan Track Update - April 28, 2008

VIEWMONT / NORTHRIDGE TRI MEET
As has been the case most of the year, weather played a big role in the performances of the meet. We decided to pull many athletes out of their normal events in an attempt to stay healthy. The girls nearly pulled off the victory as Viewmont scored 57 points to the Lady Titan’s 55. Northridge finished with 55. The boys finished in 3rd place scoring 31 points to Viewmont’s 97 and Northridge’s 37.
Finishing first for the girls were Jessica Crawley (shot put), Ashley Hunzeker (discus and javelin), Hilary Peterson (200m dash), McKayla Williams (800m run) and Hannah Williams (1600m run).
Placing first for the boys were Tyrell Yardley (100m dash) and Steve Wilcox (3200m run).

BYU INVITATIONAL
Most of the Titans that were able to get into the prestigious meet had great performances and turned in big PR’s. Jessica Crawley threw 34'11.75 in the shot put to place 8th and become the first Lady Titan to qualify for State. Among 5A schools, she would have been 4th. McKayla Williams had two PR’s, but just missed qualifying for State in the 400m dash (59.82) and 300m hurdles (47.68). She had the 4th fastest time from 5A schools. Michele Arave cleared 4'10 in the high jump, just off qualifying and tying for 7th in 5A schools. Hilary Peterson’s 1:03.13 in the 400m dash was a big PR.
Tyrell Yardley had a great meet running 11.23 in the 100m dash and 22.18 in the 200m dash. He was 4th and 5th among 5A athletes in the two events. Aaron Hill improved on his discus PR, throwing 148'08 to place 9th, 7th from 5A schools.
It was a good experience for the Titans to compete against the best in Utah and surrounding states.
