The Hot Springs County High School track teams continued to show improvement last week during the triangular at Worland, where Ten Sleep was also a competitor, as members of the girls team saw 13 personal records, and the boys team saw another 10.
Coach Ernie Mecca said it's atypical to see so many personal records at this point in the season. He credited the performance to Thermopolis having a fairly inexperienced team with students who take great pride in their accomplishments, as well as the good weather at Worland.
Among the personal records were: Haley McDermott's third place time of 1:08.06 in the 400 meters, Tahja Hunt's first place time of 2:42.90 in the 800 meters, Makayla George's second place distance of 31'10" in the triple jump, McKenna Bomengen's first place finish of 12:43.40 in the 3200 meters and Erica Meier's fourth place time of 6:48.18 in the 1600 meters.
Several girls were able to set two personal records for themselves. Among them are: Aimee Robinson - 300 hurdles, second, 56.64 and 1600 meters, third, 6:30.17; Silvia Hernandez - 200 meters, third, 30.81 and long jump second, 14'0.75"; Kaylee DeVries - 300 hurdles, third, 58.92 and discus, eighth, 67'0"; and Aspen Jensen - 400 meters, fourth, 1:09.62 and 200 meters, fourth, 31.21.
On the boys team, personal records were set by: Chandler Maddock - 200 meters, first, 23.12 and 400 meters, first, 51.68; Kolby George - 3200 meters, second, 11:38.90; Chase Snooks - 110 hurdles, sixth, 22.31 and triple jump, fifth, 31'11"; Jared Little - 200 meters, eighth, 27.03; Liam Aaron - 300 hurdles, fifth, 52.84; Jarron Mortimore - 300 hurdles, sixth, 52.97 and triple jump, sixth, 31'2"; and Tyler Kay - Discus, 10th, 64'7"
