She took first in the 800, second in the 3200, third in the 1600 and was part of the aforementioned medley team. “Beverly Lancaster ran four competitive miles on the track,” Carbon’s head coach Jimmy Jewkes said. “To do that much was unbelievable.”

All three jumps were state qualifying jumps. “We saw the best long jumpers in the state this weekend,” added Jewkes.

Emery came in sixth with 52 points. The Spartans’ boys’ 4×800 came in first place. Jess Christiansen had an incredible day. He ran a sub-10 minute 3200, taking first and qualifying for state. “Jess Christiansen is running end-of-the-year times,” Jewkes began. “Emery’s boys’ team is a good team. There’s a team to watch. It’s fun to have a rival that you’re pushing with.”
Also qualifying for state was Maddox Christman in shot put, where he finished third. In discus, Derek Canterbery came in second place. He would later take fourth in shot put. Creek Sharp finished third in the 100 meter sprint, nearly qualifying for state.

“The team’s looking good. We need to get kids qualified for state,” Jewkes concluded. “Shift that direction. Winning meets is not really our focus now.”
This coming weekend, Emery will head to the Adidas Meet at Pineview while Green River will be back in Price for the Carbon Invite.
