High school track: 5A region championship recaps

Here's a recap of the four 5A region track & field championship meets that were held earlier this week.

Region 1

SYRACUSE — The track stars were out in full force at the Region 1 championships on Thursday, and there was no shortage of thrilling performances at Syracuse High School.

No race was more exciting than the girls 100 hurdles. A week after Fremont’s Tawnie Moore beat Davis’ Adelyn Jones with a state-best time of 14.73 at the BYU Invitational, Jones returned the favor with a 14.73 time of her own. It sets the stage for a dramatic race next week at the state tournament.

On the boys side there was an equally thrilling dual going on in the long jump pit between Davis and Fremont.

Marcus Dalley’s fifth jump covered a distance of 23’04.00 as he edged Fremont’s Logan Leavitt, whose third jump carried him 22’10.00. They were the two longest jumps in the state this year.

On pole vault, Syracuse’s Zach Watson also set a new 2012 high as he cleared 15’00 to lead the Titans to a second-place team finish behind Davis.

Even though Weber finished third in the girls team race behind Davis and Fremont, Mykah Heaton didn’t take a back seat to anyone. The senior’s 300 hurdles time of 44.51 is the second best time in Utah this year, and her long jump distance of 18’01.50 is also the second best.
