"It makes me feel good to go out of this (a winner) and to get that back," Garrett said.

Eight runners posted times of 11 seconds or under in the 100-meter dash.

Timpanogos senior Taylor Lyons won the 5A title with a time of 10.86. Five more 5A runners — Syracuse's Tyrell Yardley, Davis' Ryan Avery, Timpanogos' Grant Jimenez, Bingham's Tyler Conrad and Skyline's Jeff Daw — finished within .14 seconds of Lyons.

Timpview's Tyler Goodwin and Cottonwood's Marcus Payne also eclipsed the same barrier. Goodwin won the 4A title after finishing in 10.85, edging Payne, who came in at 10.93.

Daw and Payne reigned supreme in other sprint events. Daw claimed 5A titles in the 200 (21.95) and the 400 (47.92). Payne earned a 4A title after finishing the 200 in 21.86 seconds.

Team title winners offered a mix of newness and familiarity.

5A champion Davis claimed its 11th state title. Shaun Webb, who upset Fremont's Jon Goble to sweep the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles, led the way for the Darts.

Box Elder ruled 4A for the seventh time in 10 years. Panguitch edged Rich by a half-point for its seventh title in this decade.

Cedar and Juab both ended long title droughts. For the Redmen, it was their first 3A title and first state boys track championship since 1985. The Wasps were the top 2A team for the first time since 1998.
