Field loaded for run at track titles
As the prep track season enters its midway point this month, some of the old favorites, and a few new ones, are taking center stage again.
Girls preview
Starting with the girls, both Spanish Fork and Mountain View are now in 5A, with the realignment of Region 4. Both will be battling Davis, Fremont, Alta and Jordan for the gold. Spanish Fork is led, of course, by the Stewart sisters Diane, Nachelle and Natalie. They were so dominant last season that they almost single-handedly (or triple-handedly) beat all other teams.
Diane is the defending champ in both hurdles races, but she's still coming back from an injury she suffered last fall and has yet to compete. Twins Natalie and Nachelle are excellent sprinters, having shown their wares at the recent coaches association meet. The Dons also boast top distance runner Chelsea Loss. If Diane Stewart can return to form, Spanish will be hard to beat.
Lone Peak could also be in the 5A mix. Hurdler Chelsey Kaplar returns, along with middle distancer Lacey Cramer. Kacee Nildebrandt is also back at long distance, and high jumper Kristi Carpenter won the title at the coaches' meet
With the Dons and Bruins moved out of 4A, the title here is up for grabs, and Sky View should be in the mix led by sprinter Tiera Zaugg. Other 4A standouts so far have included Ashley Christensen and Mikenna Smith of Woods Cross, Payson's Melissa Baird, and Ally Dean of Bonneville. Orem's Krystal Harper is the leader in distance races.
