Overview
- Championships decided Saturday at BYU crowned Panguitch’s boys and Rich’s girls in 1A, and San Juan’s boys and North Summit’s girls in 2A.
- San Juan’s boys ended a boys-track title drought dating to 1970 with 109 points over Parowan’s 77 after scoring across nine events and all four relays, led by Cash Palmer in shot put and Tripp Palmer in high jump.
- North Summit’s girls secured a 10th straight 2A crown and 25th overall with 157 points, posting marks in all 16 events with wins from Kyla Wilde in long jump, Ellie Stephens in shot put, and a distance-built 4x400 relay.
- Panguitch’s boys extended their 1A dynasty to six straight with 135 points as multi-event efforts, including Casey Walter’s wins in the 200 and javelin and Max Albrecht’s 300 hurdles title, underscored coach Troy Norris’s culture-first approach.
- Rich’s girls clinched a second 1A title in three years in the final relay after Paige Smith swept the 800, 1,600, and 3,200, while Thursday’s opening-day scores showed Lone Peak’s boys and American Fork’s girls leading 6A and Brighton’s boys and Box Elder’s girls ahead in 5A.
