Track and Field Shows Well at St. Vrain Invite

This week, the Eagles attended what many of the team members call their favorite meet, the St. Vrain Invitational in Longmont. The competition was quite fierce coming into the last meet before league, but the Eagles experienced a good deal of success in preparation for the coming final two weeks of the season. For the girls, Marybeth Sant won the 100-meter dash setting a new meet, school and personal record that ranks her in the top 10 nationally. She also finished second in the 200-meter dash setting a new school and personal record. Janine Beckie competed in both of the hurdle events setting a new personal, meet, school and stadium record in the 300-meter and was the runner-up in the 100-meter. McKenzie Miller and Laura Wild each set new personal bests competing against one another in the 400-meter dash. Taylor Speiker set a new personal best and school record in the 1600-meter run. Multiple other personal bests were set in this meet as well for the girls. On the boy's side, the 4X100 relay team of Braxton Peats, Bubba Watkins, Stephen Miller and Christian McCaffrey won the race setting a new school and season record, ranking them at the top of the state. Stanley Gilbert threw a new personal best in the shot put. In the 1600-meter, Mitch Bryan ran a new personal best as well.

The Eagles will head into the Jeffco 4A League competition this week hoping to pick up both a boy’s and girl’s championship before the state competition.
