The 3A State Track and Field Championships took place on Friday and Saturday last week and both Carbon and Emery were well represented.
Treven Brazier had an unbelievable weekend, becoming a state champion in three events and a runner up in another. Brazier knocked off Ryker Childs (Carbon) by two tenths of a second to win the 110 hurdles. He also won the 100 meter sprint by four hundredths of a second and dominated the 300 hurdles. He was less than two tenths of a second behind Titan Kilgore (Summit Academy) in the 200 meter for second place.
