Tough Competition At Preston Invite
Apr 09, 2025 12:02PM ● By Jody Reeves
Soda Springs India Galloway leads this pack of girls in an earlier race this season in Preston.
The Grizzly and Cardinal track teams were once again at Preston last week this time taking part in the Preston Invite. The invite brought several high quality competitors from schools around Southeast Idaho as well a few from Wyoming and Utah. The competition was fierce but our local athletes took on the challenge with some even earning new pr’s while placing well in the tough field.
The Grizzlies were a little short handed with Grace being in the middle of their spring break. Of those athletes that remained some of the top performances came from Jonah Wilkerson and Kade Kimball on the boys side with Callie Yost and Giulia Succetti on the girls team. Wilkerson set new pr’s in the 100 meter sprint and the shot put while Kimball did the same in the 100 meters, 400 meters, and long jump. Yost in her first meet of the year set pr’s in 100 meters, 400 meters, and 100 meter hurdles. Succetti a foreign exchange student, improved in the 100 meters and the discus. Also having another good day was sophomore standout Brooklyn Porter who once again broke her own record in the 800 meter race.
The Cardinals also had some great performances. For the boys team several young Cardinals had a great meet with several earning new pr’s. Three out of six of the 200 meter racers earned new personal best times while all four 400 meter racers earned new pr’s. The throwers also did well at the meet with two new pr’s in the discus, three in the shot put and four in the javelin. In addition to all the new pr’s for the boys team their sprint medley relay placed third in a very tough race while Cole Garbett once again took first in the discus and Degan Stoor swept the two hurdle races. For the Lady Cardinals nearly every single girl that ran in the 100 meter, 200 meter and 800 meter races earned either new personal best or season best times. A highlight for the girls team was a first place finish for the 4X400 relay team.
The hot start for our local track teams will continue this week when the Cardinals travel to Cache Valley to attend the Grizzly Invitational in Logan while the Grizzlies will travel to the Shelley Invitational.
