It was divide and conquer for the Powell Middle School track and field teams last week: Runners hit the road on April 18 for the Worland Invitational, while the field athletes stayed home for the Throw Down/Jump Off Meet.

No team scores were kept for either event, though the Cubs and Lady Cubs had more than their share of strong finishes — including a pair of new school records.

Seventh grade thrower Katie O’Brien’s toss of 28 feet, 2 inches in the shot put set the new standard at Powell Middle School, breaking the old record — set by Jamalee Hernandez last year — by an inch. Fellow seventh-grader Waycee Harvey went 15 feet, 10.5 inches in the long jump, shattering the 32-year-old mark of 14 feet, 9 inches.

The Lady Cubs have now broken or tied three school records so far this season; eighth grader Sydney Spomer tied the record in the triple jump at the Powell Invitational earlier this month with a distance of 32 feet, 3.75 inches.

The PMS track and field teams will head to Lovell Saturday for the Lovell Invitational.

Lady Cubs

For the eighth grade Lady Cubs, Kami Jensen and Megan Jacobsen led the charge on the track in Worland, with each winning multiple events. Jensen won an astounding four events, including the 100 and 200 meters and the 100 and 200 meter hurdles. Jacobsen followed with wins in the 400 and 800 meter runs.

In the field events at the Throw Down/Jump Off, Grace Coombs continued to impress, winning both the shot put and discus with throws of 29 feet, 3 inches, and 96 feet, 4 inches, respectively.

MacKenzie Cheney won the high jump, clearing a height of 4 feet, while Sydney Spomer was first in the triple jump with a leap of 31 feet, 7 inches. Gracie Trotter was the top Lady Cub finisher in the long jump at 11 feet, 6.5 inches.

On the seventh grade side, Lauren Bennett had a strong showing in Worland, finishing second in the 200 meter hurdles, third in the 200 meter dash and fourth in the 100 meter hurdles. Aubrie Fisher was second in the 800 meter run and fourth in the 400 meter run.

In the field events, Katie O’Brien took the top spot in the shot put with a toss of 29 feet, 3 inches; she also won the discus with a throw of 67 feet, 0.5 inches.

Waycee Harvey won the long jump with a leap of 15 feet, 10.5 inches. Cassidy Reimer won silver in the high jump, clearing a height of 3 feet, 10 inches, while Amiya DeFoe-Love was second in the triple jump with a distance of 25 feet, 5 inches.

Cubs

The eighth grade Cubs were solid in the distance events in Worland, winning two events. Daniel Merritt won the 800 meter run in a personal best time of 2:28.78, while Austin Short was tops in the 1600 meter run with a time of 5:43.

Hyrum Jeide won four silvers on the day, finishing second in the 100 and 200 meter hurdles, the 200 meter dash and the 400 meter run.

At home for the Throw Down/Jump Off, Bryan Benner had a day to remember in the throwing events. The eighth grader won the shot put with a toss of 40 feet, 4 inches, and the discus with a throw of 129 feet, 9.5 inches.

Jace Hyde posted a second-place finish in the high jump, clearing a height of 5 feet, 2 inches, while teammate Sean Kennedy was second in the triple jump with a distance of 32 feet, 5 inches. Jack Beaudry finished third in the long jump with a leap of 14 feet, 7.5 inches.

Adam Williams led the charge for the seventh grade Cubs on the track, finishing first in the 800 meter run and second in the 200 and 400 meters. Stuart Shoopman also had a solid day, with second-place finishes in the 100 and 200 meter hurdles and a third in 400 meter run.

Kaden Woods was third in the 1600 meter run with a personal-best time of 6:49.34, while Sam Johnston was the top Cub finisher in the 100 meter dash, finishing fifth.

In the seventh-grade field events back home, Marshall Fields won gold in the long jump and the high jump, while Isaiah Woyak won the triple jump with a distance of 30 feet, 4 inches.

Seston Shoopman finished in the top spot in the shot put with a toss of 31 feet, 9.5 inches; he finished fourth in the discus with a throw of 70 feet.
