Lovell’s 4 by 400 relay team of Kim Shumway, Amanda Sumway, Erin Robertson, and Suzi Robertson also set a new state 2A record in that event.

Day two highlights include: Kevin Allen of Upton posted a new 1A discus state record while Ricky Faure of Rock Springs did the same in the 4A 800. Quinn Rivera of Cody set a new 3A pole vault mark. He then went 16 feet and one half inch to break the overall state record.

In the afternoon session, Burlington’s Ben Mancuso went 6’7 in the high jump to break his own 1A record.   The Star Valley girls 4 by 100 relay team set a new 3A record in that race, too.  Girls on the team were McKinly Laker, Ivy Myers, McKenzie Wellard, and Cristy Clinger.

Day 1 Highlights:

A 27 year old record was broken in Casper by Sundance discus thrower Kacie O’Conner. She broke the old state mark set back in 1985  by nearly 14 feet.   That mark was held by Jeanette Scheitel of Pine Bluffs. That was the only record to go down in Day one.

Expect a pair of records to go down in 1A on Day II  in the boys discus and the high jump. Upton’s Kevin Allen will try to break the Overall State mark in the discus while Burlington’s Ben Mancuso looks to break his own mark in the high jump.

Cody Junior Kiara Skinner won her third straight shot put title. She has a chance for the four peat as a senior next year. She beat her own teammate by 1/4 of an inch to claim the title.

Jackson’s Oliver Schofield won the 3200 meters for a 2nd straight year. He’s also a two time cross country champion and won the 3200 Indoor state title as well.

There was a bit of controversy in the 4A girls high jump, but, after deliberations, a three way jump off was held. In the end, Laramie’s Madison Legerski emerged as the state champion.

Lander’s Tanner Simpson won the high jump and the long jump.

Day 1 Video Highlights:

Mmmm…mmmm…mmmm…Funnel Cakes! Not recommended before a race, but nobody said anything about having one afterwards! And that’s usually when business picks up!

Day 1 of the Wyoming High School Track and Field State Championship…and we almost had some major controversy in the 4A girls high jump…Madison Legerski of Laramie along with Ainsley Oates and Sofia Hof…each of Kelly Walsh. All 3 girls cleared 5 feet 2 inches on their first try, but no one got over 5 feet 4. It took a long and thorough examination of the tie-breaking rules, and in the end…we had to go to a 3-way jump-off.

Each girl got 1 try…no one cleared 5-4…no one cleared 5-3…but at 5-2…where this whole mess started…Legerski was the only one to get over again…and that was the end of that…state champ!

Girls 1-A 32-hundred meter run…this is Kaylie Moyes of Cokeville…she ended up lapping a couple of runners but that’s what you got to do sometimes…she’ll cross the finish line first, with a time of 12 minutes, 52 point zero-2 seconds.

Girls 2-A 32-hundred meter run…the one in the black is Mikayla Hudgins of Wright. She’s a cross country state champ and she’d win this race by about 5 seconds…her time was  12 minutes, 31 point-7-9 seconds.

Girls 3-A 32-hundred meter run…a little bit of an upset in this race…Anne Brinegar of Cody is on the left wearing the navy blue…she’s the defending champ, but Catherine Cloetta of Jackson was able to hold her at bay on the final lap…the senior wins by about 2 seconds…with a time of 11 minutes, 43 point 7-7 seconds.

Girls 4-A 32-hundred meter run…Audra DeStefano of Gillette has this race in the bag, but she still wants a good time…11 minutes, 40 point 3-4 seconds is a pretty good day of work, and that gets her first place.

Girls 3A shot put…Kiara Skinner of Cody…2-time state champ coming in…first throw of the preliminaries was 39 feet one-quarter inch…and that one-quarter inch was what beat her team-mate Sylvan Roberts. The junior is now a 3-time champ.

Now to the boys…the 1-A 32-hundred meter run…it’s Tyrel Toomer of Cokeville…trying to hold off Hank Jackson of Lingle-Ft. Laramie and he would when it was all said and done on the final stretch…the junior Panther is first with a time of 10 minutes…31-point 6-2 seconds.

Boys 2-A 32-hundred meter run…Alejandro Garcia of Pine Bluffs is also a cross country state champ…and now he’s a 2-time state champ on the track…9 minutes…58 point 6-zero seconds, nets him another first place finish.

Boys 3-A 32-hundred meter run…Oliver Scofield of Jackson…2-times in cross country…and 2-times In this race…9 minutes 51 point zero-8 seconds…now he’s going to take his abilities to the University of Vermont.

Boys 4-A 32-hundred meter run…we almost did not get to the finish in time…Ricky Faure of Rock Springs had the fastest time of the day at 9 minutes…44 point 7-8 seconds and a first medal to go with his cross country title.

Boys 3-A long jump…Tanner Simpson of Lander…saving the best for his last jump…22 feet 5 and 3-quarter inches for a successful title defense…you’ll see more from him in a few moments.

Boys 1-A long jump…Ben Mancuso of Burlington…21 feet one-half inch…and that’s just a warmup for what he plans to do in the high jump…but that’s another day.

Boys 3-A high jump…Simpson again…up and over 6 feet 6 inches…that’s what he did last year as well, but a win is a win no matter how you take it.

Finally the boys 1A pole vault…Jesse Hawk of Dubois….soaring over 12 feet 6 inches and had a soft landing. He finished in a tie for 2^nd last year, but this time he’s number 1 in the 1A ranks.

Day 2 Video Highlights:

I don’t know if this some sort of ritual to keep the bad weather away, but at least it wasn’t snowing unlike last year.

Day 2 of the Wyoming High School Track and Field State Championships and some records went down. First in the 1A boys discus…Kevin Allen of Upton…now to give you an idea…the camera is at about one-hundred and seventy feet. This throw in the preliminaries is one-hundred 99 feet 11 inches…it’s a new 1A state record, but about 10 feet short of the overall record. He’s not complaining…he’ll take it.

Boys 3A pole vault…Quinn Rivera of Cody…making history…going up and over 16 feet and one-half inch…that is a new overall state record, and a great way to finish off a high school career.

Boys 4A pole vault…this is Will Eichenberger of Gillette…15 feet 5 inches…and he tried to go over Rivera’s record. He had nothing to lose and it was worth a shot, but it was not meant to be, but that’s nothing to hang your head over.

Boys 1A high jump…Ben Mancuso of Burlington…a new 1A record of 6 feet 7 inches…and he just managed to get it in before Mother Nature unloaded with some of her worst. He’s just a junior and he’ll be back next year.

Boys 2A high jump…Kevin Christianson of Lusk… he was not the favorite coming in, but he pulled off a few surprises…and he would lock up a state title after jumping over the bar at 6 feet 2 inches.

Boys 1A triple jump…Adam Van Norman of Midwest…hops…skips and jumps his way to a mark of 42 feet 2 and a-quarter inches…just another walk in the park for him.

Boys 2A triple jump…Cody Savage of Lovell…trying to become a 3-time champ…and it was his own team-mates providing the competition…43 feet…9 and 3-quarter inches…the Bulldogs took first, second and third in this event.

Boys 3A triple jump…Ty Etchemendy of Douglas…a junior…45 feet 11 and one-quarter inch…with a more than 1 foot to spare. He skipped his last 2 jumps of the day because he already knew he won.

Over to the girls…the 4A long jump…Jerayah Davis of Kelly Walsh…18 feet 9 and one quarter inch…all that speed helps…just wait until she gets on the track.

Finally the girls 2A long jump…Shana Wilcoxson of Burns…gets a good head start and leaps for a distance of 16 feet 8 and 3-quarter inches…to earn her spot on top of the podium.

Highlights of the Saturday, May 12th legion baseball game between the Riverton Raiders at the Green River Knights.

Scroll down to watch the highlights of the game!

An 11-run first inning paved the way for Green River in a 5-inning win over Riverton.

Well it may not be exactly a water bowl, but as long as he got his drink…he’s happy!

The Riverton Raiders visiting the Green River Knights…Bottom of the 1^st…Green River already up 2-to-nothing…and looking for more with the bases loaded…Kale Eslick puts the ball in play and Riverton can’t handle it…here’s comes a couple of runs as Phil Martinez is already in and Nathan Smith is not far behind him…Knights go up 4-zip.

The next batter actually didn’t have to do anything…as the home team had runners on the corners and this would be a double steal as all hands are safe and Mike Pelletier goes home, to make it a 5-nothing contest.

Now we’ll give Andrew Mikesell a chance…this should be a routine ground-out play to third, but the throw to first by the Raiders is just a little bit short…Eslick cashes in on the miscue and scores from 2^nd to boost the score up to 6-zip.

Still in the bottom of the first…all these runs were scored with 2 outs and the visitors did help out on some of them…like this error which will allow Austin Zegler to reach first and bring in some insurance runs…as Mikesell and Joe Wisniewski will head towards the plate and add to the totals…Knights now lead at this point 8-to-nothing.

Here’s where the big damage was done…Willie Zajic…and yeah he got all of that one, and there’s no way that ball’s coming back…it’s a 3-run blast and the Knights would hang an 11-spot on the scoreboard when dust settled at the end of the first inning…and they were now up 11-to-zero.

Top of the 2^nd…Riverton finally got to swing the aluminum again…Josh Oaks hits the ball to just the right spot, so that by the time the defense got to it…nothing could be done. Nick Esposita scores the first run for his team, and they now trail, 11-to-1.

Moving ahead…Johnny Souza will reach first base safely as this ball would bounce and hit the shortstop in the face…it’s gets Gerald Childrers and Oaks into the dugout…Riverton is now only down 11-to-3.

Bottom of the 2^nd…Green River was still taking advantage of the mistakes…Mikesell  is going to make it to first off of the misplay and here comes another unearned run…in the form of Pelletier…the home team was trying to end this game quickly, up 12-to-3.

Top of the 3^rd…it’s now 13-to-3…Riverton was slowly trying to get back into this game…Baylor Beers with an R-B-I single to left field…and his RBI looks like Mo King as he’ll get in way ahead of the throw, but his team is still down 13-to-4.

Bottom of the 3^rd…here comes that run right back. The defense gets the fielder’s choice out at first, but Zajic was pressing his luck on the play and it paid off. He touches home to put Green River up 14-to-4.

Here comes more…Keegan Mitchell smacks one into the outfield for a base hit…that allows Martinez to trot on in to give the home team a little more cushion room…up 15-to-4.

Top of the 4^th…how about a little defense? Martinez and Zajic team up to take out the Raider runner heading for second…and now he’s heading for the showers after being tagged out.

Bottom of the 4^th…Austin Cave for the Knights…and he’s going Captain Caveman on that pitch…sending it over the wall and out of here. A solo blast and things were in pretty good shape for the home team…leading 16-to-4.

Top of the 5^th…Zegler pitching for G-R and he would eventually get the job done…a complete game 5 innings giving up 6 runs…that’s good for this early in the season.

The Raiders kept trying though…they got 1 in on a bases loaded walk…Rusty Davis will add to the cause with a base hit to get one more in…but they would get no more…as Green River would put the mercy rule on this game…winning 16-to-6.

Laramie’s Vitor Nazareth has been named the Boys Gatorade Soccer Player of the Year.

CHICAGO (May 15, 2012) — In its 27th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPNHS, announced Vitor Nazareth of Laramie High School as its 2011-12 Gatorade Wyoming Boys Soccer Player of the Year.

Nazareth is the first Gatorade Wyoming Boys Soccer Player of the Year to be chosen from Laramie High School.

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Nazareth as Wyoming’s best high school boys soccer player.

Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year award to be announced in May, Nazareth joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Abby Wambach (1997-98, Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y.), Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Candace Parker (2001-02, Naperville Central HS, Ill.), Alexi Lalas (1987-88, Cranbrook HS, Mich.), Heather O’Reilly (2001-02, East Brunswick HS, N.J.) and Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.).

The 5-foot-7 senior midfielder led the Plainsmen to an 11-3-1 record entering the Class 4A state tournament against Rock Springs, scheduled to begin May 17.

Nazareth scored 10 goals and passed for 12 assists in the regular season.

He was a First Team All-State selection in 2010 and 2011.

Nazareth has maintained a B average in the classroom.

He has volunteered locally on behalf of the Special Olympics and the Salvation Army.

“His foot skills are phenomenal,” said Grant Seneff, head coach at Campbell County High. “He understands the game, he distributes the ball well and he can really take over a game.”

Nazareth has signed a National Letter of Intent to play soccer on scholarship at Laramie County Community College this fall.

The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport.

The selection process is administered by ESPNHS and the Gatorade high school sports leadership team, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.

Nazareth joins recent Gatorade Wyoming Boys Soccer Players of the Year Kasey Esponda (2010 – 11, Buffalo High School), Kevin Cox, (2009-10, Cheyenne Central), Ben Borin (2008–09 Cheyenne East High School), Zach Johnson (2007-08, Kelly Walsh), and Sam Hayden (2006-2007, Jackson Hole) among the state’s list of former award winners.
