Bulldog Invite goes off despite weather

As the track season begins to wind down, the Sundance track team was able to squeeze in the Bulldog Invitational on Friday last week. Despite the weather, the athletes were able to complete the meet before the downpours came.

There were a couple Bulldogs athletes who earned top honors in their events. Jaylin Mills took the top spot in the field events of shot put (30-11) and discus (93-11) while Keaton Mills took the top spot in the discus (133-04).

Zoe Skeens finished second in the 100M (13.92) and 800M (2:35) races as teammate Blakely Gill finished 2nd in the 100M hurdles (18.44).

For the boys, Holden Ayer, Reed Banker, and Angel Villegas all took second place finishes in their events and Kyten Johnson, Wyatt Flahaven, Jake Schommer and Gavin Mollenbrink all found a fourth place finish throughout the day.

“The athletes did very well,” coach Julie Cross commented. “Many hit their personal records. It will be exciting to watch them compete at regionals in Torrington on Friday and Saturday.”

The Sundance Bulldogs will compete in the Regional track meet this week in Torrington on Friday and Saturday.
