Show Darius Schryver enjoys great year Lisa has already received an academic scholarship to attend Utah State University where she also plans to participate in collegiate collegi-ate track and field. Lisa plans on majoring in business. "I beiieve I've got the talent to win an event at the state meet," said Schryver, "My biggest thing is to keep my confidence level up." By KEITH DUNCAN KAYSVILLE Davis High's Lisa Schryver is a woman of wonder won-der when it comes to track and field. The Davis High senior can compete com-pete with the best of 'em in either the sprints or the long jump. Lately she has been having a heyday and she hopes her recent success can continue into this weekend's Davis High Invitational and right on into the region meet the weekend following. Schryver was on top of the field in the East High Coaches Invitational Invita-tional when it came to the long jump. Then in the middle of last week, Schryver put on quite a show in the dual meet against Viewmont as she won the 100 and 200 meters and also claimed the top prize in the long jump with an impressive im-pressive leap of 17 feet and 6 inches. in-ches. At last Saturday's BYU Invitational, Invita-tional, Schryver failed in her noble attempt to win the long jump and had to settle for third place behind Layton's Corrie Phelts and View-mont's View-mont's Andrea Bunderson. Phelts is just a sophomore but her leap of 16-75 was enough to outdistance Schryver who went 16-2,2. Schryver was also fifth in the 200 meters against some of the finest competition around. The Davis High coed hasn't been concentrating on the sprints as much as she did last year, but that could change. Last year she qualified qual-ified for the state meet in seven events and had to choose just four to compete in. "Right now I'd like to compete in the long jump, the open 400, the mile relay and either the 200 meters or the medley relay when it comes time for the state meet," said the versatile senior. There is a lot of confidence brewing with Lisa when it comes to the long jump, an event she feels she has a good shot at winning at the state meet. Twice in her career now she has hit the 17 foot 6 inch mark. "I know I can do even better than that," she said, "My coaches are helping me to not look down at the board which takes some distance dis-tance out of my jumps. I need to look out ahead to get some height. "Weber's Connie Johnston will be tough to beat in the long jump if she competes in it. I've also got a ; lot of respect for Layton's Corrie Phelts and Viewmont's Bunderson." |
