The Girls 1a state championship looks to be a great competition. With Panguitch favored, if only their individuals can live up their rankings. Whitney Orton and Catania Holman look to contribute big points for Panguitch as well as Chesney Campbell. Layton Christian has some very talented athletes as well as Wayne which could make it a great three way battle for the team title.
In the Sprints, Layton Christian has a great chance to pick up big points. At the BYU invitational two weeks ago Alissa Atisme dominated as she won the most outstanding track athlete award for the 1a and 2a girls. She holds the top ranking in the 100m, 200m, 400m, and the Long Jump. Her teammate Sharon Marroquin also looks to contribute as she is seeded #2 behind Alissa in both the 100m and 200m.
In the Distance Events Freshman star Whitney Orton of Panguitch looks to win big. She holds the top ranking in the 800m, 1600m and 3200m as well as a being only a second behind Atisme in the 400m. she if she scored what she is ranked she would pick up 36 points but could do even more if things go well. Her teammate Catania Holman is ranked 2nd in both the 1600m and 3200m.
The Field events and the Relays have no specific team that looks like they will pick up big points as every team seems to be in the mix here. Chesney Campbell of Panguitch is favored in the High Jump and is ranked highly in both hurdles and the Long Jump as well.
