Show Davis Gals Win Yet Another Track Title By DAVE WIGHAM OGDEN As predicted over a week ago the Davis gals simply ran away from the rest of the 3A schools at Weber State to claim the team title in the annual state track and field championships. THIS MARKED the first time since 1977 that the Dart women have claimed the big hardware. Since the girls started their own program and holding their state championships cham-pionships the Darts have won four titles which is by far the best record in the state. Davis rolled up 102 team points which was easily more than the 65 that second place Provo came up with. Woods Cross finished 11th in the overall team standings but came up with some top individual in-dividual efforts on that day. AGAIN, JUST as they were in the region meet a week ago, the Darts were led by freshman sensation Allison Horsley who won two events and placed second in a third. On Friday Allison won the mile event, then on Saturday she won the two mile and settled for second in the half mile. This was a team effort all the way though as the Darts showed a lot of depth to go along with Ms. Horsley. On Friday, Kris Weaver came up with a second in the long jump just one-half inch behind the winner, and a third in the mile with Kathryn May. WOODS CROSS got on the board Friday when Leslie Gibb cleared 4-11 to claim sixth spot in the tough high jump competition. Kathryn May then came back on Saturday to claim a fifth in the half-mile and the two mile, while Cynthia Ford picked up a couple of second place efforts in the hurdle races. WOODS CROSS picked up valuable points in the quarter mile race with Janea Howard earning a third place ribbon. The Darts were also point getters with Janeen Hatch in fifth. The Wildcats then picked up their other points in the efforts of fourth place in the 880 from Janet Williams and a fourth place finish from their mile relay team. Davis finished out their scoring with Kris Weaver taking third in the 330 intermediate inter-mediate hurdles, a second place in the 440 yard relay, another second in the medley relay, and then the team of Weaver, Foote, Percival and Hatch winning the mile relay race. WITH MANY underclassmen underclass-men on the club it looks as if the Darts are set on staying at the top of girls track for a while. |
