Over 300 archery enthusiasts competed for cash prizes. Lawson, According to Kim President of Mountain Split Archers, the course involved 20 shooting positions and 20 targets. The shooting field was created to resemble field hunting situations complete with trees, brush and actual size three dimension wildlife targets. Targets were placed at various distances from the shinning positions and were also patterned after practical hunting circumstances. ''We've got a little controversy over the distance on our furthest target, a full size moose, Lawson said. But, our ranges were planned between 64 yards and 2 yards. Targets included wild turkey, mule deer, white-taile- d deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, mountain lion and even an alligator at close range that caused problems for ome shooters. The alligator was placed at a distance of 2 yards. "That really threw some of those boys shooting compound bows, Lawson said with amusement. He said that most compound shooters overshot the target and had to adjust their aim to allow for arrow trajectory. The competition was organized into four divisions for compound bows and one division for traditional bows. In the compound classes, shooters could choose between freestyle, bowhuntcr sight and mechanical releases, bowhunter sites and finger releases or bare bows (no sites) and finger releases. Traditional bows included recurve and long bow styles. In each shooting division there were male and female groupings. Lawson said that the cash prize amounts are still being worked out and are dependent upon the number of shooters and their registration fees. Only two local Vernal residents placed. Mike Henline of Vernal was the only contestant to finish in the money in the Bare Bow event. Another Vernal resident, John Richardson placed first in the traditional bow division. Terry Johnson took second and a Rock Springs resident by the name of Ozzie placed third. Two women earned positions in the traditional bow competition. Christine Sheely placed first and Becky Johnson was second. In the freestyle division Ray Tenbrook took first place, Roy Loran second and Joe Jepsen third. No women competed in this event. In the bowhunter sights and release group, Tim Gillingham placed first, Robert Stockton second and Monty Clark and Benton Christensen tied for third. Diane Foster, Lisa Tenbrook and Kathie Nense placed first, second and third, respectively, in the womens version of this event. In the bowhunter sights and finger release division, Mark Wollert took first, Kevin Lane second and Gary Woods and Kenny Coates tied for third. No women competed in this category.

Utes run in Olympic Oval It actually went quite well, was how Uintah High School track and field Coach Shane Lance summed up the Western States Indoor Invitational track and field tournament last week. The Utes competed among 38 schools and approximately 400 athletes ranging from 3A to 5A classification. The event was held at the Olympic Oval in Kearns. Twelve Uintah athletes participated in the tournament and places were awarded through sixth place. Josh Dearing placed the highest of Uintahs contingent earning fourth in the high jump. The girlis 4X4 relay team of Kelsey Peltier, Maggie Bartel, Kelsey Dickson and Karissa Wright placed fifth and Bartel also took sixth in the 800 meter race. Several other Utes produced new personal best times or performances. It was exciting because there were very few 3A schools at the event and we did so well against the Lance larger division schools, said. Two high schools from Texas were among several competing from outside the state. Sophomore Kelsey Peltier ran her personal best record in the mile. According to Lance, she was only 20 seconds off of the time necessary to qualify her for state competition. We can trim that off pretty fast in the mile event, Lance said. Bartel, also a sophomore, was only 5 seconds over the state quali fying time when she earned sixth in the 800. Dickson also produced a personal best time in the 200 and was only 2 seconds above the state qualifying time in this event. Sophomore John Shakespeare set his personal record in the mile run and sophomore Skylar Massey cleared 11 feet in the pole vault event. The state qualifying height for pole vaulting is 1 lfeet 8 inches. I think we 11 qualify a lot of people before the region tournament this year, Coach Lance predicted. We should go to the state tournament pretty strong." He is still encouraging anyone interested to join the track team. We had a lot of young freshmen come out last year and thats why were looking so good now, Lance said. Athletes can contact him or just show up at practices to participate. He is assisted in the coaching realm by Tim Jensen, Gary Galley and Karriann Raddon. Lance has divided up responsibilities for the different events. He coaches javelin and, sprints. Jensen looks after pole vaulters and long jumpers. Distance runners, hurdlers and high jumpers are under the direction of Galley and Raddon covers the shot put and discus. The Utes will be busy practicing the next two weeks until they open region competition in Heber on March 19. Wasatch will host Park City and Uintah.
