GREEN RIVER – Wyoming’s unpredictable spring weather cooperated enough for Green River High School to host its second meet on April 23. Athletes contended with the occasional snowflake and strong headwinds as 14 teams representing every classification gathered for one of the largest track meets in the region.
Pinedale made the best of the situation and took fifth place overall, racking up 118 points to beat out several significantly larger teams.
Senior Teagan Bowers made history at the event, shattering the school record in the boys’ long jump. Jake Brunette set the old record in 2010 at 22 feet, 5 inches. Bowers’ jump on Saturday measured in at 22-08, 2 feet ahead of the runner-up from Lander.
Building off that success, Bowers leaped into first place in the triple jump, clearing 42-08 1/4, his personal record for the season.
Bowers also made a strong showing in sprinting, picking up a fifth-place ribbon in the 200-meter dash at 23.92 seconds.
The girls’ 4x400-meter relay team dominated the competition in a crowded field and raced into first place. Sophomore Mandy Majhanovich, freshman Lauren Jones and seniors Grace Davis and Riley Dauwen clocked in at 4 minutes, 26.63 seconds, 6 seconds faster than the second-place team from Lyman.
