Cowboys Show Lots Of Improvement

The North Gem Cowboys took a large group of athletes to Carey to participate in the Lee Cook Invitational last week.  Their team scoring would not put them in the top half of the teams in attendance but both the boys and girls teams saw several new personal bests in their individual events.  For the boys team Jaxyn Welker set new pr’s in all four of his individual events that included long jump, shot put, and the 100 and 200 meter sprints.  Jaxyn’s brother Lukky also had a good day earning pr’s in the triple jump, javelin, 100 meter dash and running on the 4X400 meter relay team that placed third at the meet.  Other Cowboys that earned pr’s were Landon Hayes in the 100 meter dash, discus and long jump, Haydn Frandsen in the discus, and Rusten Hatch in the 200 meter dash.  Also though he didn't earn any pr’s Alex Curtis continues to be one of the top athletes for the Cowboys by earning some of the top marks on the team in his events.

The Lady Cowboys also had several girls earn new pr’s as they continue to improve on the season.  Eight Lady Cowboys ran in the 100 meter dash and six of them earned new pr’s.  Sadie Daniels was the fastest sprinter for North Gem earning a new pr in the 100 meter dash and a new season record in the 200 meter dash.  Sadie was also a member of the two relay teams that performed for the Cowboys each placing third at the meet.  Indyana Hatch and Gracie Christensen were also members of those relay teams while each also earned new pr’s in the 100 meter dash.  Myken Rindlisbaker also earned a pr in the 100 meter dash then earned one in the shot put as well.

The Cowboys continue to improve each week and are building on their good performances.  North Gem will look to continue on their upward trajectory when they travel to the Barry Espil Meet in Murtaugh on Thursday.
