Rams Dominate at Region 2 Track Meet

The Susitna Valley Track & Field Teams won the Region 2 Meet, held last weekend at Su-Valley High School.

Seven schools competed in the meet.  Several Su-Valley athletes placed first in their events, qualifying them for the State competition.

For the Male Rams; Austin Barnard won both the high jump and the 100 meter dash.  Gideon Bedingfield won both the triple jump and the 800 meter dash.

The boys 400 meter and 100 meter relay teams dominated their races. The 100 meter relay team of Jacob Shockey, Ryan Gossett, Gideon Bedingfield and Austin Barnard, broke the school record for that event at a meet held earlier in the season.

The Lady Rams also put up some impressive results. Jessie Wentworth jumped 5 foot 2 inches to clinch the high jump trophy, and Lillian Stewart took first place in the 800 meter dash. The girls team also swept the 200, 400 and 800 meter relays.

The Alaska State Track & Field State Meet will be held May 30th and May 31st at Diamond High School in Anchorage.
