Girls
Adara Christensen - BYU
Adara Christensen is one of the top pole vaulters in the country. She had a dominant indoor season where she vaulted a Personal Best of 12-11.50. Unfortunately for Christensen, we saw her season season end unexpectedly when she tore her ACL in New York as she was performing at the armory. Christensen already shares the State record of 11-11.75 with Hannah Stetler of Bingham. This record was set last year at the State meet and this year Christen had hoped to raise that mark to over 13 feet! But for now her 12-11.50 will have to do as the unofficial State record seeing how the mark was made in the indoor season. Adara has committed to further her academics and athletics at BYU which is already one of the greatest Track & Field programs in the Country.
Haley Tanne - SUU
Haley Tanne is one of the best XC/Track recruits for the class of 2018. Tanne is also a pretty good Steeplechase runner seeing how she was the winner of the Great Southwest Classic in a time of 7:13.00. Haley led her team to the Girls 6A State Title by finishing 3rd overall in the race. Haley ran a time of 18:12.10 and she later went on to run amazing times at NXR and Footlocker West. Tanne has had a great start to the Outdoor season and she'll be looking to take her first individual state title seeing how she is one of the top returners in the 1600m and 800m.
Taylor Viertel - UVU
Taylor Viertel and teammate Madison Moffit were one of the greatest duos the state had for their senior year. Viertel has been hitting the track hard and has already run a PR in the 1600m which she did at Pine View in a 5:12.08. Taylor will be the third athlete who plans on signing this this upcoming week and will be joining UVU who had the WAC Freshman of the year Hannah Branch last XC season.
Allie Warner - BYU
Allie Warner was one of Mountain View's top runners and key scorers for winning the 4A First State Title. Allie had a great XC season where she ran a PR in every event she did and she looks to finish out her senior year of track with all PRs and maybe an individual state title. Warner is one of the top returners for the 800m and she is looking to finish on top of the podium after finishing 3rd her sophomore year and 4th her Junior year. Allie is joining a great program in BYU and she will be replacing her sister Ashleigh Warner who will be graduating at the end of this year.
