With weather that gave participants a little taste of all four seasons over the course of two days, the Evanston High School track and field teams hosted last weekend’s 4A West Regional Track Meet at Kay Fackrell Stadium, with the Red Devils placing second as a team, and the Lady Devils placing fifth.
The two teams finished with a combined 34 individual placers — including three champions — and won two relays. Red Devil senior Ayden Hartzell led the charge with a pair of wins, taking the top spot in both the 200 meters (22.11) and 400 meters (47.91); he also ran legs on the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams.
Fellow Red Devil senior Paul Baxter won the 1600 meters, posting a time of 4:30.88; he also finished third in the 800 meters (2:00.66), and ran a leg on the winning 4x400 relay team.
Lady Devil Hallie Prete was the top finisher on the girls’ side, finishing runner-up in the 800 meters, with a time of 2:24.37; teammate Emma Lonsway was third in the pole vault, clearing a height of 10 feet.
Relays once again proved solid for both teams, even more so for the Red Devils, who won two of the four relay events. The 4x100 team of Timber Fitch, Ayden Hartzell, Jayden Rieker and Brayden Wallace finished first with a time of 42.80, while Hartzell, Rieker, Paul Baxter and Aidan Conrad finished in the top spot in the 4x400, posting a time of 3:20.54.
The EHS track and field teams head to Casper Thursday for the start of the 4A State Track and Field Championships at Kelly Walsh High School.
Red Devils
On the boys’ side, the Red Devils finished the meet with 23 state qualifiers, including conference champions Ayden Hartzell in the 200 (22.11) and 400 meters (47.91) and Paul Baxter in the 1600 meters (4:30.88).
Other multiple-event qualifiers included senior Trayten Wiedrich, who finished runner-up in the pole vault, clearing 14 feet, 6 inches; he also finished third in the long jump (21’8”) and seventh in the triple jump (40’9.25”).
When he wasn’t running legs on the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, sophomore sprinter Jayden Rieker was performing well in the individual events, finishing runner-up in the 200 meters (23.08) and third in the 400 meters (49.55).
Fellow sophomore Timber Fitch made the podium in both hurdle events, placing fourth in the 300 hurdles (41.45) and eighth in the 110 hurdles (16.06). Brandon Blackwell got it done both on the track and in the field events, making the podium in the 200 meters (7th, 23.61) and the long jump (5th, 19’9”).
Distance runners that qualified for state over the weekend included Aidan Conrad in the 1600 meters (7th, 4:41.45), and Bryan Baxter (3rd, 10:26.00) and Addison Shea (5th, 10:33.25) in the 3200 meters.
In the throwing events, Luca Flores placed fourth in the shot put (48’6”), while teammate Conner Olsen placed fifth (47’9”); Flores also made the podium in the discus, placing eighth (133’2”).
Lady Devils
With the top eight finishers in each event qualifying for the 4A State Meet in Casper this week, Evanston was led by junior Emma Lonsway, who placed third in the pole vault (10’), fourth in the 300 hurdles (47.59) and seventh in the 100 hurdles (16.76).
Other Lady Devils qualifying in multiple events included Cassie Barker, who finished fifth in the 100 hurdles (15.77), sixth in the 300 hurdles (48.37) and eighth in the high jump (4’9”).
