High school track: Grand sweeps titles at Red Rocks Invitational

MOAB — Grand High’s track teams both kicked off the season with dramatic first-place finishes at the Red Rocks Invitational on Wednesday.

The boys only had one individual champion, but their depth was just enough to hold off second-place San Juan, 124.5 to 122. Emery finished third with 103 points.

The girls race was even tighter. Grand’s girls tallied 113.5 points to narrowly edge second-place Montezuma-Cortez, Colo., which finished with 112 points.

Carbon’s Rachel Goodrich was also a multi-event winner as she finished first in the 1,600 meters and 3,200 meters.

On the boys side, Jacob Francis was Grand’s only individual winner as he finished first in the 3,200 with a time of 10:37.73.
