Haven Shelton won the event. He was the only Vikings to win a championship at the two day track invitational. Shelton said, "The best part about winning the 800 today was that it qualified me for state. Until today, I hadn't qualified for state this year. My strongest competitor in the race was Clayton (Young of American Ameri-can Fork). I've raced against him in cross country, and I have a lot of respect for him." , Young, by the way, finished second in the 800 meter race. In the girls' 800 meter race, Kendra Richardson finished fin-ished fifth. She said, "I think just placing in this race made this one of my best days. Of the other six girls who placed, I have a lot of respect for them. They're superfast. I'll be racing rac-ing against them at region and state. Viking Blake Ellis took seventh in the boys' 400 meter me-ter run. Alex Compton finished second in the boys' 100 meter dash. The Viking boys' medley relay team took eighth. |
