Julie Ryan was picked by everyone to win. Everyone was watching her and seeing how she was doing while Jill was posting her highest scores. I knew I had to hit the vault to stay ahead of Julie, said Palmer. I did it and I guess I got enough points to win. It felt really good, especially after all the hard work we put in preparing for state. Palmer will be attending Utah State next fall on a gymnastics scholarship.

Viewmont Breezes to Title; Falcon Teams Take Second By KENT SOMERS Revitw Sporft Editor OGDEN They were the kind of days people who run track enjoy: warm enough that you could take off your sweats without seeing goose pimples the size of Mt. St. Helens rise on your thighs, and breezy enough that you didnt feel the track give under your weight like mud. And three area track teams took advantage of last Fridays and Saturdays nice weather to win some awards at the Weber State Invitational Track Meet.
