It was rainy, sometimes it was really rainy, it was cold and it was at times very breezy but weather aside the Utah State High School track championships were held at the BYU facility. For the local schools, the Green River boys finished in sixth in the 1-A boys meet, the Lady Pirates finished sixteenth in the 1-A girls meet.
Panguitch won both the 1-A girls and the 1-A boys with the girls being done in dominant fashion. The Panguitch girls outscored second place Altamont 185 to 55 as their athletes scored points everywhere, quite an accomplishment for a small school.
Bryce Valley was third for the girls.
The Panguitch boys beat out Milford for the boy’s title, 86 points to 67 points with Duchesne scoring 66 points and finishing third.
The Green River 4×100 meter relay team won that race and were state champions with Joe Serafin, Kyle Johnson, Tyrell Shumway and Wyatt Norman doing the running. Tyrell Shumway was the state champion in the javelin with a throw of 167 feet.
