Panthers prepared to pounce at state

After their last pre-state hurrah at regionals in Torrington, 14 Panthers are now prepping to attack at the state meet in Casper this weekend.

Heading to state this year are Bradley Bifano, Kelsie Samson, Tate Stinson, Meredith Lincoln, Hunter Mason, Aaron Kerbs, Ben Falk, Rodrigo Escobedo, Alex Ziegler, Cameron Collamer, Seth Harrison, Morgan Rempel, Andrew Oiler and Darian Williams.

For individual first place honors at regionals, Ben Falk soared to 20’6.25 in the long jump. Falk, alongside Hunter Mason, Rodrigo Escobedo and Alex Ziegler, all earned first place in the 1600 meter relay for a time of 3:36.74.

Coach Rex Hohnholt said he was proud so have many athletes be able to prepare for state, but wished more could have qualified.

“It was a great weekend, and we had some kids who didn’t make state but deserved to go,” Hohnholt said. “For the kids who didn’t make state, it wasn’t because of lack of effort. They were all mentally prepared and ready, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out like planned. We all had outstanding performances and great competition.”

The 14 Panthers head to the three-day 2014 Wyoming State High School Track and Field Meet tomorrow. The event begins at noon Thursday at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper.

“We have a solid group of kids going, and I’m excited to see how they stack up against kids from all over the state this weekend,” Hohnholt said.
