Show Braves Fight But Roy 7sfres Track By DAVE WIGHAM BOUNTIFUL -- Bountiful's track and field team held their own in the individual category but the Braves didn't have the depth needed to stay with the Roy track team and the Royals handed the Braves an 84-56 setback in a Region One dual meet. BOUNTIFUL won six events but in the long run it was a combination of two things that gave the Royals the win. First their dominance in the sprints where they swept the 100 and took the first two spots in the 220. Then secondly the depth of the Roy club, which placed in every event with the exception ex-ception of the relays. The Braves are a young club, evidence of this is the fact that two of their individual in-dividual winners and the majority of point getters are underclassmen with many being sophomores. JUNIOR Scott Sharp is improving each week in the hurdle events and in this meet Scott managed a second place finish in the intermediate race and a third in the highs. Sophomore Craig Tingey was the only Brave able to break through the Roy dominance in the sprints. Craig has only recently started start-ed running in the 220 and his third place effort against Roy is a good indication that he has the ability to win. Craig also came back to place second in the high jump competition. JEFF HAMILTON ran a good quarter mile for the Bountiful team claiming second place for his efforts. Sophomore Jeff Larsen then claimed the first win for the Braves when he ran the half mile in a time of 54. 3 with teammate Call right on his heels. Distance ace Steve Tueller, one of the best in the area, then claimed the mile run with a 4:38.5clocking. STEVE, ONLY a junior, was followed by sophomore Darren Allen who picked up third place points in the same race. Junior Dave Fox also picked up valuable points with a third place finish in the two mile race. Bountiful's other individual winner was senior Gary Brown in the pole vault. Gary cleared the bar at 12'7'towin the event while Russ Hammer placed third in the event. THEN THE youth of the Braves took over as sophomore Paul Johnson placed second in the long jump with junior Cory Hilton in third place. Junior Tom Page was second in the javelin, sophomore Matt Dalton a third place finisher in the shot and another sophomore, Mike Woodbury, a third in the discus. dis-cus. Bountiful then won all three relay races with their 440 relay team winning with a time of 47.5 seconds, the mile team in 3: 42.0 and the medley group in a time of 3:55.0. |
