The warm sunny weather has been widely welcomed by the spring season sports teams, a contrast to the usual weather for the opening weeks.  Instead of bundling up in layers of coats, hats and gloves for their first meet of the season, the MHS track and field team basked in a little sunshine and a lot of success.  Thursday, March 19, West Side High School hosted the West Side Tri with teams from Malad, Aberdeen, Bear Lake, and West Side.

The meet proved a great start for the Dragon athletes as they competed in their first races of the season.  The Malad women’s team earned first place with 83 points, just two points ahead of West Side.  Malad’s men’s team narrowly missed first place, trailing six points behind West Side at 75.

To help with their first place win, a number of the women’s team earned top placing in their events.  Halie Palmer took first in the 100M dash with a time of 13:26.  Brielle Bastian easily took first place in the 400M run, coming in 6 seconds ahead of her competition, as well as first place in the triple jump with a distance of 33’ 11”.  

In the 3200M, Aezlyn Summers led with an outstanding time of 12:50.  Kaycee Venable was at the head of the pack in her three events, winning the 100M hurdles, 300M hurdles, and the pole vault.  The women’s 4X200M relay placed first, run by Bastian, Kenadee Howe, Kendrey Bywater, and Halie Palmer.

 The men’s team tallied a number of top placing as well, including Bostyn Burbidge placing first in the 800M race with 2:04, as well as Braun Nalder in the  pole vault, setting a new personal best at 13 ‘9”.

With results like these from their opening meet, the Dragon athletes are guaranteed to have a good season ahead of them.  Time training and focusing on the details of the events are sure to tighten up their results and bring even greater achievements.  Only two weeks in and Head Coach Caleb Williams says, “ I feel like things are looking very good for our teams this year. Both boys and girls teams have tons of talent and potential. 

“Our boys were 0.5 points out of a team trophy last year at state so that has been motivating them to put in work this off season. They are led by a great group of seniors that will be key factors of our team this year. Our girls team only lost one senior that went to state so we have lots of juniors and seniors to lead them. They are working to improve from taking third as a team the past two years.” 

He concluded, “I am very excited to see what we can do this year. We have over 70 kids on our team which helps a lot with the team aspect of the sport. There are a lot of freshmen that are new to the sport so it will be cool to see how much they grow over the season.”

The Dragons will host their next meet in Malad on Thursday, March 26.  The meet will feature athletes from high school from Bear Lake, Marsh Valley, North Fremont, North Gem, Ririe, Rockland, Snake River, Star Valley, West Jefferson, and West Side.
