The Deer Valley Skyhawks had a great showing at the Gatorade Invite Saturday, March 6 at Copper Canyon HS. Not only did eight track and field athletes qualify for state, but sophomore Tray Armstrong broke a meet record and recorded the fastest 100m and 200m times in the state so far this season. Armstrong won both the 100m and 200m with times of 11.38 and 22.95. He also anchored a state qualifying 400m relay with Matt Kamer, Eric Sanchez, and Hayden McClellan. They won first place in 44.16. Joining these speedsters on the boys side is senior John Green who qualified in the high jump with his jump of 5'10".
On the girls side, freshman Courtney Brown led the way for the Skyhawks on the field, jumping 5'1" in high jump and 32'10.5" in the triple jump, both besting the qualifying standards. Sophomore Tessa Kelley picked up where she left off last year in the 300m hurdles, running a 48.12 and qualifying in that event. And senior Chelsea Gobster did the same in the pole vault with her vault of 8'6".
Lots of athletes, new and experiences, competed on Saturday, and overall it was a good showing for both teams. Next meet is Wednesday at O'Connor HS.
