The 2a Girls State Championship is going to be a very exciting one to watch. North Summit Holds the edge in the rankings, but they are close enough that when considering prelims and rounds and the potential for false starts or a dropped baton, any thing can happen and Richfield is very capable of an upset.
In the Sprint events, Ashlynn Allred of Emery is ranked first in both the 100m and 200m. She is only a Sophomore and should have a great meet.
In the distance events, Junior Emily Sundquist of Roland Hall is the favorite across the board. She holds the top ranking in the 800, 1600, and 3200, with her best marks quite a good distance ahead of the pack.
The field events will be highlighted by a Javelin battle worth the watch. Earlier this season Mandee Christensen set the state record for the 2a Javelin, only to have her record broken a few weeks later by Anden Lyman of Enterprise. Lyman’s coach thinks she still has more in the tanks and could improve her own mark, and watch for Christensen to rise to the occasion to try to take her record back.
The Relays are another place where North Summit can pull away. They are ranked first in the 4x400 and second in the other two, 26 points in those three events are crucial to their title hopes.
