On a very rainy Saturday morning the final day of the 2013 UHSAA state track championships kicked off with the 3A Girls on the track for the 3200. After the race Park City team members could be seen calculating exactly what needed to happen for the Miners to secure a team title. Whatever those calculations were, they were spot on as the Miners won the state championship with 93 points over Cedar High School who grabbed 76 points. Megan Glasmann was one big keys to Park City’s success as she won the Javelin and grabbed second in the Discus.
On the boys side of the competition it was Desert Hills winning the team title by a fairly good margin. Brad Wulfentstein helped the Desert Hills cause adding 20 points winning both hurdles events. Blake Kvarfordt added another 20 winning the Shot Put and the Discus. The 4 victories were the only individual champions Desert Hills had, as the rest of their points came from a strong balanced effort across the board.

A Large group of Park City girls worked together with Kashley Carter of Juab as they battled for points for the team goal.
