TMS tracksters bring home championships

Thermopolis was home to the middle school Yellowstone Conference this past Saturday, with several students taking conference championships in their events. Additionally, students continued their tradition from the season and broke not only their own personal records, but school records as well.

Among the conference champs were eighth grade student Roedy Farrell in the triple jump, 100 meters and 200 meters. Coach Brandon Deromedi noted Farrell beat the 1994 school record of 36’7” set by Bill McIntosh, landing at 38’1” on Saturday.

Seventh grader Ethan Music was conference champ in the 100 meter hurdles and 200 meter hurdles, both in which he broke his personal record (PR) and the school record again. “He has broken his own record in both those events four times,” Deromedi said.

Also in seventh grade, Kaitlin Barral was conference champ in shot put with a 28’1.5” distance and Joely Mounts was champ in the high jump with a 4’6” height.

The sixth grade 4x400 relay team of Ethan Yarrington, Brody Sorensen, Brody Potter and Zane Stam were conference champs with a time of with 5:00.26.

Though eighth grader Jayci Basse was not a conference champ, Deromedi noted she broke her personal record and the school record again with a time of 17.36 in the 100 meter hurdles.

The conference meet marks the finale for the season, with only the Best of the Best left this week. “All in all I was very happy with the season,” Deromedi said. “These kids busted their tails. We never really had the greatest of weather and a short season, but the amount of PRs we set over the course of the year was very satisfying. It showed me they worked hard, set goals and achieved their goals. I don’t think there’s a single kid on that team who didn’t get better.”
