This past weekend the Weber State Developmental Meet produced some great performances. Here is a breakdown of a few of the top performances from a few of the events.
Girls 800m Run/1600m
In the Girls 800m Sarah Feeny of Ogden topped a great Mountain Crest duo of Brookayla Nelson and Tori Parkinson. Feeny’s time of 2:22.82 was nearly a full second ahead of Nelson. All three times put these girls near the top of the state through 2 weekends of meets so far. Feeny also doubled in the 1600m with a dominating win. Her time of 5:16.17 was 14 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor. She must be looking forward to having some big competition in the coming weeks to see how close to that 5 minute mark she can get indoors.
Boys 1600m Run
Jordan Cross of Ogden started his season off with a very impressive win with a 4:29.48. He beat out Ricky Faure of Rock Springs (WY) by .33 seconds. Conner Mantz of Skyview was 3rd at 4:37.82. Both Cross and Mantz also ran the 3200 and went 1-2
Boys 3200 Meter Run
This was a pretty stacked race with a lot of great talent. Jordan Cross of Ogden had a great day beating out the talented field and capturing a great 1600m-3200m double. He ran 9:30.21. Conner Mantz was 2nd with 9:33.32 and Jerrell Mock was 3rd at 9:42.89.
Girls 55m Dash
The Girls 55m Dash was certainly the closest race of the meet with Ivy Myers and Mackenzie Bindrys both running 7.73 and Lana Willard at 7.75. Bindrys and Willard will both be looking for hardware at the UHSTCA Meet in Kearns come February. Myers also doubled back to win the Girls 200m Dash with a time of 27.36
Boys Long Jump
A few great marks were made in the Boys Long Jump. Both by athletes making the trek to Weber from Wyoming. Reno Averill of Star Valley edged Robert Wingeleth of Evanston by a mere half inch.
