Bulldog track team has busy week

The Sundance track and field team had a busy schedule last week, participating in three meets. 

Tuesday, the Bulldogs traveled to Douglas for a makeup meet from last week. It was here that Parker Skeens and Riley Banker both took first place finishes, qualifying them for state. Skeens qualified in the triple jump with a distance of 41-07, while Banker qualified in the discus, throwing 112-00. 

On Friday, the Bulldogs competed in the Northern Hills Invite, in Belle Fourche. This was, once again, a bigger meet and many Bulldogs were competing against their own records, setting a new personal or season record. Keaton Mills also got to partake in the javelin throw, taking first place with a distance of 145-03.

To round out the week, the Bulldogs traveled to Wright for the Scott Hardy Memorial. It was here that multiple Bulldogs took the top honors. Taylor Daily (800m), Riley Banker (discus), Ryder Downey (800m), Holden Ayer (300 hurdles), and Keaton Mills (discus) all finished first in their respective events. Jaylin Mills also prequalified for state in the discus, throwing 111-10, and taking a second place finish for the day. 

Going into the final meets of the season, the following Bulldog athletes have prequalified for the state track meet: Jake Schommer (high jump), Keaton Mills (discus, high jump) and Jaylin Mills (discus), Riley Banker (discus). 

Keaton Mills and Jake Schommer also represented the Sundance Bulldogs at the Best of the Best, Wyoming Track and Field Classic, a meet where the top track and field athletes in all classes compete. Schommer competed in the high jump, placing 12th. Mills competed in the high jump, taking 14th and the discus, placing seventh.
