Eight Fremont County athletes, all from Riverton and Lander competed at the resurgent Wyoming Track Classic, formerly known as the Meet of Champions at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper on Friday.
Four boys and four girls represented Fremont County, with five from Lander and three from Riverton. A pair of school records were shattered in the process.
Lander senior Gage Gose set a new standard in the 400 meter dash with a first place finish in a blistering 48.24 seconds. Gose added a second championship in the 110 meter high hurdles.
The 400 meter race was one of the fastest heats in Wyoming track and field history featuring four sprinters finished the race in under 50 seconds.
Riverton junior Kaden Chatfield was fourth in a very competitive 1600 meter race. His 4:25.24 is the fastest time ever run by a Wolverine in the metric equivalent of the mile run.
Fellow Riverton junior Kiana Swann continued an outstanding season with a fourth in the 800 meter run. Her time of 2:24.99 is her best of the season.
Ameya Eddy of Lander had a great time of 5:30.73 in the 1600 meter run to finish fifth.
Lander junior Reed McFadden had solid 50.36 in that blazing 400 meter boys heat, taking sixth, he also qualified in the high jump.
Riverton’s Nathan Mills threw 141-7 to finish fourth in the discus.
A pair of freshmen had solid performances in qualifying for the prestigious event in their first season of high school competition.
Lady Tiger Adelyn Anderson placed in both the shot put and discus, finishing seventh in the shot with a throw of 36-8.5 and fourth in the discus with a breakout season best throw of 120-10.
Riverton’s Addison Alley was impressive in the 100 meter high hurdles, racing to fourth place with a time of 15.87.
