Jumps Team @ Taylorsville Invitational

Jump Team Press Release – April 9, 2016

Immediate Release

Taylorsville Invitational

Another outstanding performance by the Riverton Silverwolves “Jump

Team” as rookie jumper Abbie Walker secured her position in the State

Championship meet at BYU in mid-May with a PR leap of 16’ 3.75”,

while placing third in today’s very talented field of sand markers at

Taylorsville. Abbie is very confident that she will stand alone the top of the record

board when she walks down the aisle for graduation at UVU in late May.

Colby Stone recorded another win in the High Jump competition

clearing 6’ 1” or better for the fifth time this season. Colby has set his

target at 6’ 4 “ marking his legacy for second in the event just one inch

behind Westin Ford’s school record of 6’5”.

Mitchell Wood continues to dominate the Long Jump fields as a come-

from-behind second place finish. A recorded PR leap of 20’ 8.75”

keeps Mitchell as the competitor to beat no matter where the

competition takes place. He vows to mark the sand at 21’ 8.75” before

he hangs up his jumping spikes. Mitchell’s ability to mark jumps of 20

foot plus at the last four competitions proves he is a true consistent

jumper with much more distance behind him.

Neal Guthrie came alive this past competition as Neal competed in

three events [High Jump, Long Jump, 400] recording a PR in the 400 as

well as leap of 18’ 10.50”, placing him sixth and scoring valuable points in

yet another Boys Team Victory. Neal was the second scoring

Silverwolves Long Jumper in this event.

“The Team” is headed to the Coaches Classic meet this coming

Saturday at Copper Hills.
