Girls track: Valor Christian’s Anna Hall puts the finishing touches on a remarkable career; other top performances from the meet
(Brad Cochi/CHSAANow.com) LAKEWOOD — Five weeks ago, Anna Hall’s ankle was in a boot and with her final Colorado track and field state championships in doubt, the Valor Christian senior wasn’t doing much smiling around that time.
But she recovered just in time to join the fray this weekend, and Hall’s smile returned immediately. Then that championship smile grew bigger and brighter with every state title she claimed and with each record she set over the course of the three-day meet.
In all, Hall left Jefferson County Stadium with gold medals from the Class 5A girls 100- and 300-meter hurdles, as well as having imprinted her name on all-classification records in the 4×200-meter and 4×800-meter relays.
It took a pretty fast recovery but Hall is feeling like herself again.
“With each race, I’m starting to feel more and more like my usual myself before I got injured,” Hall said. “That felt so good because it felt kind of like old Anna. That’s why I was smiling so much, because I feel good and we were winning.”
Hall’s first medal came after she crossed the finish line – smiling – in 14.18 seconds to win the 100-meter hurdles. Later in the day, Hall, who is still the 4A state meet 300-meter hurdles record holder and will run track for the University of Georgia next year, won the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 41.70.
Finally, she ran a sub-54-second split to anchor the Eagles – Reese Dragovich, Camille Peisner, Quincy McMahon and Hall – to a 4×400-meter relay that set an all-classification record of 3:41.89 in the final girls event of the day. The previous record of 3:45.69, was set by Littleton and had stood since 2011.
“I’m just happy I was back in time to run here,” said Hall, who had a Grade 3 ankle sprain. “When I first injured it, they said six to eight weeks and I think right now I’m at five and a half weeks. I rehabbed for like three hours every day and my PT people were super amazing. I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time and it couldn’t have turned out better.”
Hall’s dominating finish was a fitting end to the Eagles’ state meet, which certainly began with a flurry and ended with both the Valor Christian girls and boys winning team titles.
On Thursday’s opening day, Hall along with teammates Destiny Grimes, Sadie McMullen and Peisner, set an all-classification record of 1:37.00 in the 4×200-meter relay prelims well before the won the state title on Friday. The previous record was 1:37.05, set by Pine Creek in 2014.

Class 5A
(Brad Cochi/CHSAANow.com) Denver East senior Arria Minor went through her typical state meet routine on Saturday, winning the 100 and 200 to push her career total to 10 total individual titles, and added her first-ever relay title by anchoring the Angels’ 400-meter relay team to victory. Along the way, the girl who may go down as the greatest sprinter in Colorado preps history tied the all-time state record of 11.31 in the 100 meters.
After placing third for the past two years in a row, Fairview’s Marlena Preigh won the 1,600 in 4:59.53. The Knights senior also defended her 800 title on Friday.
Grandview junior Lily Williams continued what has been a consistently-excellent prep career in the 400, winning the event in 53.63 to defend the title she won as a sophomore in 2018. As a freshman, she was runner-up to Minor.
To prove her title-winning discus throw of 142 feet was no fluke on Saturday, Loveland’s Kajsa Borrman made sure to hit the mark twice in the finals.
Despite battling injuries throughout the season, Monarch junior Mia Manson defended her pole vault title by clearing 12 feet.

Class 4A
(Brad Cochi/CHSAANow.com) Niwot won the team title with 123 points, which was an incredible 65 points ahead of runner-up Battle Mountain. That was in no small part a result of sophomore Taylor James’ versatile performance. She won the 200 and 400, and ran a leg of the Cougars’ winning 4×200 relay, all on Saturday and a day after setting a 4A meet record of 2:08.29 in the 800 on Friday.
After leading the Mead Mavericks to their school’s first girls title in the sprint medley last spring, Abbey Glynn won Mead’s first girls title in an individual event with a 44.35 in the 300-meter hurdles. The senior finished her career with 14 state medals out of a possible 16 opportunties.
The fastest race of the day went to Harrison’s Ereana McCallister, who won the 100-meter dash in 12.37 seconds.

Class 3A
(Brad Cochi/CHSAANow.com) Have a day, Jordan Lanning. The Bayfield senior made her presence known immediately on Saturday morning, setting a 3A meet record of 14.20 in the 100-meter hurdles. After setting a 3A meet record of 5-8 in the high jump on Thursday and winning the long jump on Friday, it’s safe to say Lanning had more than a good day at the 2019 state championships.
“It’s just felt different when I crossed the finish line,” said Lanning, who also placed third in the 300-hurdles. “I can barely even remember that race.”
Lutheran won the team championship, sweeping 3A with the boys.
The Classical Academy’s Kaylee Thompson (5:04.27) and Katie Flaherty (5:04.61) went 1-2 in the 1,600, helping the team to a runner-up finish.

Class 2A
(Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com) It was clear by Saturday that this year’s team champion would be Highland and the rest of the top teams were competing for second place. Highland ended up winning with 100 points, a full 32 ahead of runner-up Lyons.
Reigning champion Remington Ross wasn’t letting anyone near the 100 and 200 titles on Saturday. The Highland junior set a meet record of 11.84 in the 100 and cruised to victory with a 24.77 in the 200. She also won the long jump.
Hotchkiss senior Kiaya set a 2A state meet record of 55.76 in the 400. She broke the previous record of 56.34 set in 2013 by Jennifer Celis, who also went to Hotchkiss. Firor, who also won the 100- and 300-meter hurdles, set a 2A meet record in the later with a time of 44.06.

Class 1A
With 108 total points, the Dragons from De Beque won the team title by an impressive 35 points over runner-up Heritage Christian.
Leading the way for the Dragons, senior Faith Novess won the 100 hurdles and set a 1A meet record of 45 seconds flat in the 300 hurdles. She now has six individual medals in her career.

State track: Recapping some of the best performances from the first day
(Brock Laue/CHSAANow.com) LAKEWOOD — Over the course of an eight-lap race, separation between the winner and the rest of the field usually spans several seconds.
In perhaps the most thrilling running event during the opening day of the state track and field championships, with all classifications competing at Jeffco Stadium, less than a full second (0.13) separated Madeleine Burns from Samrawit Dishon in the 4A girls 3,200.
Burns clinched the title in 10 minutes, 53.63 seconds, barely nipping Dishon’s 10:53.76.
“I can’t really believe it,” the Durango junior said. “It’s always been a goal of mine ever since freshman year. Now that it’s happened, I’m still kind of in shock.”
The 3,200 is the longest distance event Colorado prep track athletes compete in and, for many, the eight-lapper can be equally challenging mentally and physically. Burns had enough of both to beat a talented field that included Joslin Blair (Eagle Valley) and a trio of Niwot girls in Lucca Fulkerson, Layla Roebke, and Dishon.
Several girls took the lead at various stages of the race, but Dishon and Burns pulled away the final two laps. They traded leads a few times, but Dishon had a strong surge that threatened Burns’s title hopes.
Ultimately, the Durango standout pulled even with Dishon, then had enough closing speed to overtake her in the final fifty meters. Burns had to be at the top of her game to outlast them all as Blair (11:00), Fulkerson (11:03), and Roebke (11:05) rounded out the top five.
“I knew it would be a really competitive field just because 4A has a lot of really good girls,” Burns said. “I wanted to hang with the pack, then make a move with 800 to go. It turns out I didn’t really get to do that. I just hung on and tried to save a little bit for the last lap.”
That little bit proved to be enough for the distance star to claim her first gold medal at the state meet. She finished 12th in the 3,200 as a sophomore, but had the No. 1 seed (10:50) entering the season finale.
Challengers loomed Thursday with Dishon proving to be the greatest threat.
“I knew her from cross country and Niwot always has a lot of really strong runners,” Burns said. “They had six girls in the two mile, so I knew they would be a force to be reckoned with.”
Burns was eager for the test. Training in Durango, at an elevation around 6,500 feet, helped her overcome all of them, eventually.
“It’s pretty hilly,” she said. “There are a lot of trails. It’s hard to find flat places to run, but I think it helps us. It can be pretty lonely, because we are far away from everyone. That makes it even more exciting to race though.”
After Burns’ terrific 3,200 race, Durango earned a state crown in the 3,200 relay with a boys contingent of Aidan Fitzgerald, Marcus Flint, Noah Bodewes, and Luke Tichi. They nipped the previous 4A state record of 7:48.60, set by D’Evelyn in 2006, with a magnificent time of 7:48.55. That is currently a top 10 time in the country for this season.
Below is a roundup of other action during the morning (4A/5A) and evening (1A-3A) competitions.

Class 5A
(Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics) Valor Christian girls (9:16) claimed the 3,200 relay crown over Cherry Creek (9:20).
The Eagles of Valor also set a new all-classification girls 4×200 state record (1:37.00) with an already legendary Anna Hall on the anchor leg of the preliminary round. The University of Georgia recruit has won several state and national crowns in both track and field events. She recorded the fastest time in the 100 hurdle prelims (14.37) on Thursday.
Valor’s Jane Powers (40-2.25) added to the championship haul for the Eagles with the shot put gold medal.
(Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com) Hall’s soon-to-be college teammate, Arria Minor of Denver East, will be the No. 1 seed in both the 100 and the 200-meter dashes for the girls with times of 11.79 and 23.79. She will look to collect her ninth and 10th state titles individually this weekend.
On the boys side, Highlands Ranch’s Drake Nugent (56-2.75) topped an in-city rival in Valor’s Cian Quiroga (56-1.50) to win the shot put title.
Mountain Vista (7:47) outlasted Arapahoe (7:48) in the 5A boys 3,200 relay to add another chapter to their distance running tradition. They also finished first in the event in 2018. The all-classification state record in the event is 7:45 by Smoky Hill (2001).
Valor freshman Gavin Sawchuk will be the top seed in the 100 finals.
Fort Collins’ fantastic tandem of Allam Bushara (2nd) and Micaylon Moore (1st, 48-10) swept gold and silver in the triple jump. Moore won the long jump last season, while Bushara was the triple jump champion.
Darrian Leu-Pierre, a talented basketball player for Grandview, showed off his leaping ability in high jump, clearing 6-8. Teammate Alisha Davis, a University of Northern Colorado recruit for hoops, ensured a Grandview sweep of the high jump with a mark of 5-9.

Class 4A
With plenty of high altitude training giving them a lift, Battle Mountain sped past the field in the 3,200 relay.
Dylan Schubert (9:24), a terrific Thompson Valley junior, surged with about 500 meters left to overtake Dillon Powell of Air Academy (9:28) in the 4A boys 3,200. Cheyenne Mountain freshman Erik Le Roux finished 3rd in a time of 9:32.
The city of Longmont crowned multiple field event champions in Silver Creek junior Hunter Potrykus (15-3 in pole vault) and Longmont senior girl Tara Hitchcock (18-4.50 in long jump).
Canon City’s Brendan Young bettered the field in the long jump with a mark of 23 feet, 1 inch.
Pueblo East senior Kain Medrano (188-6) claimed a new 4A state meet record in the discus throw. He will attend UCLA on a football scholarship.

Class 3A
A super group of 800-meter runners clinched the 3,200 relay for Peak to Peak in a very fast time of 9:17. The Pumas clinched six consecutive 3A state titles in the event.
Holy Family boys (7:59) dipped under eight minutes to claim the boys 3,200 relay.
David Hawkins of Bayfield (51-0) was atop the podium in the shot put.
22 feet, 9 inches was the winning long jump mark by Elizabeth’s Mason Anthony, who is also a top-flight hurdler.

Class 2A
Hotchkiss has won many relay state crowns over the years and they could grab another in the 800-meter sprint medley after finishing with the No. 1 seed during prelims with a time of 1:52.84.
Those who follow 2A track know the name “Lyons” with their immense success at the state meet. They claimed the girls 3,200 relay title with a time of 10:03. In the very next event, their foursome of boys won the same relay in 8:20.
The 3,200 champions were Chloe Veilleux (Soroco, 11:45) and Isaac Roberts (Lyons, 9:57).
Yuma’s Victor Mendoza (44-1.50 in triple jump) and Jake Chrisman (14-4 in pole vault) were crowned as 2A kings.

Class 1A
In a thrilling girls sprint medley relay final, De Beque (1:54.88) was able to catch Springfield (1:55.32), a classification power who finished runner-up as a team last season, in the final 100 meters.
Seth Bruxvoort (Heritage Christian) shattered his teammate’s 1A state meet record in the 3,200 with a time of 9:47, 17 seconds quicker than Levi Kilian’s winning mark last season. Killian didn’t compete in the 8-lapper, but is one of the favorites to win the 800 and 1,600.
Jace Bower of Wiley captured the shot put championship with a mark of 48-3.50.

State track: Recapping some of the best performances from Day 2
(Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com) LAKEWOOD — Just two years ago, Yasin Sado was a soccer player with a hidden gift for running.
By the end of Friday’s state track and field competitions, plenty of spectators at Jeffco Stadium became well aware of that gift. After all, he did clinch the Class 3A 3,200 and 800 titles on the same day.
As someone who is still a newcomer to being part of a track team (second track season), he was confident but also unsure of just how fast he could go in the 3,200, the first event of the day. Sado, donning the orange and black colors of Denver West, had only raced the distance once before in 2019, recording a time of 9 minutes, 42 seconds at the Denver South Rebel Invite on March 31.
To upset the No. 1 seed, Mason Norman (9:24 season best), Sado knew he needed to go faster. He did, posting a winning time of 9:29.
Norman, a two-time winner of state cross country for The Classical Academy, led most of the race, pulling William Ledden (Peak to Peak) and Sado through the first 1,600 meters in 4 minutes, 46 seconds. Then, with only 800-meters left, Sado and Norman were still even with one another.
“I felt pretty good with two laps to go, but my coach said to just wait until the last lap,” Sado said of staying patient before making his winning move.
That move was a speedy 57-second final lap. He stayed smooth the entire way, then raised his arms in celebration as he crossed the finish line.
Norman, also a junior, was the runner-up in a time of 9:41. Sado’s brother, Ahmed, closed hard to secure third place in 9:42.
A few hours later, with a 3,200 on his legs, the Denver West junior hoped to capture the 800 championship as well.
Holy Family’s Braden Bartlett had something different in mind, accelerating the pace enough to drop all 3A challengers except Sado in the final 200 meters.
“I was just staying behind [University‘s Noah Smith], then the Holy Family guy was going pretty fast,” Sado said. “I just kicked during the last 400.”
The Denver West junior (1:56.25) found a burst, passing Bartlett (1:56.95, second) with only a few strides to go.
In just his second-ever track season, Sado has now won a pair of state titles. He did finish as the 800 runner-up as a sophomore, but as the No. 1 seed in the 1,600 on Saturday, a lofty time of 4:16, Sado could be a three-time champion.
What a way to kick off a track career.
He was a club soccer player, and just a soccer player in his eyes, only two years ago. The fact Sado’s brother, Ahmed, was third and fifth in the 800 (1:59) made Friday that much sweeter.
“He has been injured for cross country and track, but he’s really happy with how he did today,” Sado noted. “He didn’t believe he could get third.”

Class 5A
(Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com) Cole Sprout, the owner of an all-classification state record in the 3,200 – 8:57 earlier this season — won the event in a time of 9:11.84. Sprout is still only a junior for Valor Christian, but has been a record-breaker many times already. Dakota Ridge’s Austin Vancil (9:17) was second on Friday.
As for the 800, David Cardenas (1:53.47) will bring a gold medal back to Grand Junction Central. Connor Ohlson, also of Dakota Ridge, was second in 1:54.
Fairview’s superstar senior Marlena Preigh won the girls 800 in 2:08.55, defending her title.
Micaylon Moore, the triple jump winner on Friday, represented Fort Collins well in clinching back-to-back titles in long jump. His best mark was 24 feet, 0.25 inches.

Class 4A
Niwot put their stamp on the 800 once again as sophomore Taylor James beat former Cougar great Elise Cranny’s 4A state meet record of 2:08.50 with a mark of 2:08.28. She
Soon after, junior Cruz Culpepper (1:52.93) won an 800-meter title of his own for Niwot.
Pueblo West’s Cisco Padilla (6-5) claimed the high jump gold medal.
Grace Scuzs of Palmer Ridge (11 feet, 4 inches) bettered everyone in pole vault.

Class 3A
(Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com) In a race that was reminiscent of the 4A girls 3,200 yesterday, Sierra Bower (Basalt) and Kaylee Thompson (The Classical Academy) pulled away from the field and matched wits, stamina, and speed for eight consecutive laps. A better sprint down the homestretch allowed Thompson to clinch the title in 10:58.0 seconds. Bower was just behind in 10:58.3.
Lutheran’s Noah Kelly (14-6) finished as the pole vault king of 3A.
Mason Anthony of Elizabeth set a 3A record in the 300 hurdles (37.82).
Gunnison’s Kelita Baroumbaye (47-00.75) captured the triple jump crown with an excellent mark.
Lutheran (1:48.12) broke the 3A state record in the 800-meter sprint medley relay, besting runner-up Elizabeth (1:48.55).
Lily Lavier of Alamosa captured the two-lap crown (800-meters) in 2:13.08.
Moffat County (1:45.83) proved to have the best group of sprinters in the 800-meter relay.
Jordan Lanning of Bayfield (18-2.50) conquered the long jump.

Class 2A
Colton Jonjak-Plahn of Lyons (1:59.43) topped the 800 field with a diving win.
Hotchkiss (1:50.81) cruised to a near-four second victory in the sprint medley relay.
Hannah Wilkie of Rangely (2:19) was the 800 winner.

Class 1A
Elton Yarger of Stratton/Liberty set a classification triple jump record, winning with a mark of 44-8.25.
Faith Novess of De Beque cleared 5 feet, 7 inches to capture the 1A girls state record for the first time as a senior. She will compete for the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs next year.
“My goal was to get 5-6 and beat the state record,” Novess said. “I love representing De Beque. A lot of people think since we’re a small school, we don’t have good athletes. They take us for granted.”
They did win the girls sprint medley on Thursday, while also capturing the 4×200 relay crown on Friday.
“I think that really set the mood for the whole weekend,” Novess said of the sprint medley’s victory.
Levi Kilian (1:56) and Seth Bruxvoort (1:58) swept the gold and silver medals and tallied plenty of team points for Heritage Christian. The Eagles posted 10 more points in the boys 4×200 relay (1:33.63).
