P-D track teams fare well at Pine Bluffs Invite

PINE BLUFFS, Wyo. – The Potter-Dix High track teams put in a strong performance at the Pine Bluffs (Wyo.) Invite as the boys finished a close second and the girls took fourth.

Host Pine Bluffs took the boys' crown with 258 points to 236 for the Coyotes. Lingle-Fort Laramie (Wyo.) finished with 174. In the girls competition, Burns won the title with 225 points to shade Pine Bluffs by a single point. Lingle-Fort Laramie earned 210 points and Potter-Dix had 188.

The boys had nine event winners including four by Kelsey Rozelle. He won the 100 and 200 meters on the track and took the high jump and long jump in the field. The girls had three event wins with two coming from Kelsey's younger sister, Alexus Rozelle. She again swept the throwing events with wins in the shot put and discus. Cortney Lewis scored points in both throwing events also with a third in the shot and fourth in the discus. Anna McLaughlin scored the other win for Potter-Dix in the high jump.

Other Coyotes to wear the gold included Jake Johnson in the 800 meters and Cooper Hicks in the 300-meter hurdles and open 400. Johnson added a second place in the 1,600 meters while Cameron Purcell backed up Rozelle in the 200 meters with a runner-up finish. Purcell was fifth in the 100.

The Potter-Dix boys also crossed first in two relays with the same foursome teaming up in both. Hicks, Johnson, Sam Bogert and Purcell won by better than three seconds in the 4x400 and were more than a half minute better than the runner-up in the 3,200-meter relay.

The other placers for the boys included Coby Hicks, who cleared 12 feet in the pole vault to earn a bronze medal. Cole Christensen was fifth in the 110-meter high hurdles.

The girls were boosted by their strong performances in the hurdles. Sophomore Payton Franklin and freshman Payge Hoffman were third and fourth respectively at 100 meters. Hoffman was third in the 300-meter hurdles and Franklin fifth.

The Coyotes qualified three runners in the 200-meter finals, but only Savannah Shaw managed to score points when she finished fifth. Hope Shepard and Trinity Langley were the other two that reached the finals. In the mile, Ryley Hicks added to her second-place finish in the pole vault by scoring a fifth-place at 1,600 meters.

Two of the girls' relay teams fared well also with the 4x100 team finishing second and the 4x400 taking third. The sprint relay was comprised of Shepard, Shaw, Franklin and Trinity Langley. The 1,600-meter relay was staffed by Shepard, Shaw Presley Christensen and Hoffman.

Several of the Coyotes will be in action at the Best of the West meet in Scottsbluff on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. The next full-squad meet for Potter-Dix is on May 2, when they head to Bayard for the MAC Meet. The first event is scheduled for 9 a.m.
