Kids earn ribbons at State Hershey

Track meet in Fruitland


Blaine County children shrugged off the heat of Fruitland and earned a slew of ribbons Saturday at the State Hershey track and field meet.

Hailey siblings Juan Martinez and Kaitana Martinez along with home-schooled Hannah Fuller collected the only individual first-place finishes for Blaine County.

Fuller won the gold in the girls’ 13-14 long jump in 7-6, a foot farther than her state-qualifying jump.

Juan Martinez captured the boys’ 11-12 400-meter dash in 1:08.00. Kaitana Martinez won the girls’ 9-10 softball throw in 100-10, 32 feet farther than her nearest rival, and she also took the 100m dash in 15.62 seconds.

For the Martinez kids, all their winning marks at the State Hershey meet were much better than their state-qualifying marks at the Blaine County meet April 26 in Carey.

Blaine County did particularly well in the relays—winning 400m baton-passing in the 9-10 and 11-12 classes.

Taking first place in the girls’ 11-12 relay was the Carey squad of Shelby Hansen, Amy Ellsworth, Krista Allen and Taylor Whitby. The 1:02.00 time was nearly three seconds faster than their top time in Carey.

Finishing second in the girls’ 11-12 relay were Grace Lagodich, Kelly Chapman, Lydia Fuller and anchor Monica Garceau.

Second place in the girls’ 13-14 relay went to Jennifer Cenarrusa, Naomi Harmon, Cassie Weaver and Kayla Bailey.

Carey placed 1-2 in the boys’ 400m relay. Winning were Shane Bingham, Jake Cenarrusa, Wacey Barg and Charlie Rivera. In second were Chance Chavez, Cody Brooks, Blair Peck and Caleb Cenarrusa.

Capturing first in girls’ 9-10 relay were Elizabeth Fry, Brooke Bowers, Tristin Bowers and anchor Kaitana Martinez in 1:09.00, five seconds faster than their qualifying mark.

Among other individual placings reported by local participants:

2—Tyler Peters boys’ 11-12 softball throw in 137-0.

3—Juan Martinez boys’ 11-12 800m run in 2:54.00 and softball throw in 133-0; Taylor Whitby girls’ 11-12 200m dash; Grace Lagodich girls’ 11-12 200m; and Elizabeth Cameron girls’ 9-10 200m dash.

4—Hannah Fuller girls’ 13-14 200m dash; Lydia Fuller girls’ 11-12 400m dash; and Kelly Chapman girls’ 11-12 softball throw.

5—Kelly Chapman girls’ 11-12 100m dash.
