It took six weeks, but good weather finally greeted the track and field athletes of Fremont County on Monday afternoon at the Riverton Twilight Meet. Cody and Thermopolis joined six teams from Fremont County on the Riverton oval starting with field events at 1 pm. The entire meet lasted just over four hours.
Cody dominated the girl’s division 227.5 points, but Lander was a strong second with 195.5 points and Riverton third at 124.
Dozens of athletes in Class 2-A, 3-A and 4-A met the qualifying standard to gain automatic berths to the state finals next month in Casper.
The throwing events had a distinctively green and red tint with Riverton throwers Nathan Mills and Xavier Garcia going one-two in the shot put with Garcia throwing over 44 feet to win it. Mills broke 140 feet to win the discus with a throw of 142.
Adelyn Anderson of Lander was runner-up in both throws behind Cody’s Laura Phillips, with fellow freshman Jaylah Griffith of Riverton third in both events.
Lander dominated the sprints placing 14 girls in the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes, paced by Alexa Colman winning the 100-meter dash in a photo finish over teammate Avery Bever, and Avery Crane winning the 200-meter event.
Gage Gose continued an outstanding season winning both hurdle events easily. He ran 14.71 and 38.82 respectively in the 110-meter high and 300-meter intermediate hurdles.
Tiger junior Reed McFadden won the high jump and placed second in both hurdle events behind Gose.
Riverton junior Kaden Chatfield ran away with the 3200-meter run, narrowing breaking 10 minutes with a winning time of 9:59.99.
