Eagle Valley played host to 17 high schools including Steamboat Springs, Hayden and Soroco for a track and field invitational on Saturday, April 8.
The Sailor boys were the highlight of the day, taking third overall while several girls earned new personal records despite traveling with only half the roster.
Steamboat sophomore Brandon Kolb dominated his way to wins in the high jump and triple jump, while taking second in long jump. Seniors Olin Webster and Casey Wolf also posted top results, each taking second place in the 400-meter dash and 800-meter dash, respectively.
Hayden’s AnnMarie Counts was a star for the Tigers. The senior won the 100-meter hurdles with a personal best of 17.03 seconds.
Junior Larhae Whaley’s 8-foot, 3-inch height on pole vault was good for second place at the meet and counted as Soroco’s top placing of the day.
