High winds force cancellation of meet with only 13 finals completed

THE GAZETTE

    Sierra edged Fountain-Fort Carson for the boys title at the Ray Campbell Invitational on Saturday at Fountain-Fort Carson before the meet was called because of gusting winds with only 13 finals completed. The results stand since the rest of the meet cannot be rescheduled.

    Rock Canyon won the girls title with 39 points followed by Falcon (34) and Widefield (33.5).

    Junior Emily Hanna scored all 23 points for 2A Fountain Valley, putting the Danes in fifth place when the meet ended.

    Hanna, a two-time state champion in the 100 hurdles and one-time state champion in the high jump, won both events against mostly 4A foes. She also finished sixth in the 100 dash.

    "It's fun to compete against the bigger schools and better competition," Hanna said. "We've had a lot of hard workouts and it's really paying off."

    Widefield won the girls 800 sprint medley. Falcon's Sade Lewis won the triple jump with a mark of 34 feet, 5 inches.

    Brittany Williams won the 100 dash in 11.96 seconds for Fountain-Fort Carson.

    "We started out really well," Trojans coach Ben Montoya said. "We got good performances from different people. But unfortunate things happen. It was a little too dangerous for some things like the high jump."

    The Sierra boys were led by Kelby Dias, who won the 110 hurdles, and the winning 3,200 relay. Zach Little and Mykal Torres finished first and second in the long jump for third-place Mesa Ridge.
