— The team placed third overall.

Bulldog athletes were at their peak Friday during the Clint Wells Invitational at MCHS, the girls capturing first place overall and the boys taking third in front of home fans during an exciting day that saw 10 event wins for the host school.

Kayla Pinnt outdid herself with the new school record she’s spent all season chasing, achieving a top time of 12.02 seconds in the 100-meter dash, putting her even further ahead of every girl in Colorado’s 3A division.

With any luck, the record will change again before the school year is through, Pinnt said.

“I’m hoping I can get 12.01 or 12 and break it, and I’ve got all the girls behind me, helping me push,” the Moffat County junior said.

Though she tried to shrug off her latest accomplishment, stating Moffat County has a “fast track,” she also won the 200 dash and finished the final leg of the 4×100 relay with teammates Selena Hernandez, Ary Shaffer and Emma Samuelson for another first place ranking.

Hernandez also won the 100 hurdles and Shaffer the long jump, Emma finishing second in the 200 behind Pinnt.

Emma’s sister, Lauren, won the 4×800 alongside Jazzmine Piatt, Allie Dilldine and Mattie Jo Duzik, as well as owning the 400 dash.

As for the rest of the foursome’s victories, Duzik won the 800 run and Dilldine the 1,600.

Moffat County boys took the win in the 4×800 relay, manned by Connor Scranton, Diego Quezada, Garrett Ferguson and Riley Allen.

Plenty more of the Bulldogs filled out the rest of the listings, Shandon Hadley finding the silver in both the 200 dash and as part of the 4×100 relay group, along with Keenan Hildebrandt, Kaden Hafey and Eddie Smercina.

Hadley said Hildebrandt was a new addition to the event but brought a lot of speed.

“He’s a great athlete, he really came through,” Hadley said.

As to his own abilities, Hadley, one of the top sprinters on the team and an MCHS junior, is feeling in tip-top shape after being denied the chance to compete last week at Fruita Monument’s Phil Wertman Invitational.

After traveling halfway to Grand Junction and heading right back to Craig after learning the meet was canceled, MCHS coaches put tracksters right back to work as soon as they returned with a mock meet, and the difference was noticeable, Hadley said.

“I’m feeling pretty good, pretty loose, and I hope I qualify for state,” he said.

Head coach Todd Trapp said he was immensely pleased with the day’s activities as the teams get their heads in the game for next week’s Western Slope Multi-Leagues Meet.

Normally, the home event is two weeks before the league gathering, but either way, the Bulldogs are fired up, Trapp said.

“We’ve got a lot of young guys ready to compete at the league championship and a lot of girls who have been there before, and they showed today, they’re ready to compete,” he said. “They want that league title.”
