The San Juan High School track and field team traveled four hours to Salina to compete in the North Sevier Invitational on Saturday, April 23.

Alex Shumway sped her way through the 100-meter hurdles, taking fourth with a blazing time of 18.32 seconds. Brigham Nielson performed likewise, ending with a fifthplace finish in the 110 hurdlesandsixthinthe 300 hurdles. Junior Ryleigh Laws had a series of admirable races. In the 800 meter she placed fourth with a time of 2:46 (the sixth-fastest time for a female junior in San Juan High history). Laws also placed ninth in the 200-meter run. Representing the team in the throwing events was Tyler Winn with a fifth-place performance in the javelin and ninth in the shot put competition. Other solid performances included Ashlyn Palmer (ninth, 100), Reaghan Laws (seventh, 400), Logan Keith (ninth, 800), Zach Conway (sixth, 200) the boys 4x100 team (third), and the boys 4x400 team (sixth).
