The Columbia High track and field team stayed close to home this past week, competing in its own Bruin Invite on April 17 and then April 20 at the Jeff Agar Memorial Invitational at Trout Lake.
The 11-team Jeff Agar showcased a handful of CHS athletes who are starting to work their way into shape. That included senior August Lorincz, who won the boys 400 meters in a personal best 52.1-second clocking and was second in the 200 (24.59). Also on the track, Noah Slayton was second in the 1500 in 4:47.52. In the field, Luke Harrison continues to improve noticeably in the discus; the senior threw a personal-best 149-8.5.
The Bruin girls were led by double winner Saylor Hauge, who won the 300 hurdles in a personal-best 49.4 seconds, and the high jump with a PR 5-0 leap. Teammate Jessica Polkinghorn won the shot put with a PR throw of 43-9 and the discus at 117-4.5. Leah Zimmerman won the 1500 meters in 5:10.86, and the 800 in 2:40.06.
Earlier in the week at their own Bruin Invite, the CHS girls bested the 10-team field behind six individual wins and two relay victories, scoring 154 team points. The relays: Bella Hamilton, Hauge, Sequoia Cohen, and Sara Miller combined to win the 4x100 in 50.98 seconds and the 4x200 in 1:50.41. Miller also won the 100 in 13.54 seconds and was second in the long jump at 15-3; Hauge won the 300 hurdles in 50.6 and high jump at 4-10.
Other winners for the Bruin girls were Zimmerman, who won the 1600 in 5:40.26; and Polkinghorn, who won the shot put at 42-7 and the discus at 119-0. Also of note were Samantha Evans’ 4-10 high jump, and Hailey Tolbert’s 4-8 high jump and 17.85-second 100 hurdles effort.
