Skylee Guymon is the 3A State Champion in the 100 and 300-meter hurdles, and Emery High is home to the top girls’  4×400 team in the state after the State Track and Field Championships at Brigham Young University, which took place over the weekend in Provo. As a team, the Lady Spartans finished third overall.  Devon Byars, the lone member of the boys’ team, finished fourth overall in the discus.

Union earned the top spot in 3A in the girls’ division, scoring 127 points, and Richfield claimed second with 102. Emery landed in third with 89, Carbon(54), and Morgan 41.5 rounded out the top five.

Skylee Guymon capped off a record-breaking sophomore campaign with a State Championship in the 100-meter hurdles with a blistering 14.59, shaving time off her school record of 14.82 from earlier this season. Kabree Gordon finished the race in eighth.  In the 300-meter, Guymon would once again break a record, the state mark of 42.93 she had set just one week ago, turning in her time of 42.69, with Gordon finishing in fifth. Skylee Guymon was also a part of the State Champion 4×400 team consisting of Molly Christiansen, Gentry Christiansen, Addy Guymon, and Addie Hurst, who turned in a time of 4:01.48, a full three seconds ahead of Carbon, who finished second.

Skylee Guymon competed in the 200, finishing third at 25.92. Moving into distances, in the 800, Addy Guymon finished in second place with a time of 2:12.72, just off the pace set by Carbon’s Rozlyn Stowe’s 2:12.17. Gentry Christiansen claimed fourth place, and Addie Hurst took 17th. Gentry Christiansen finished ten seconds behind Union’s River White to take second in the 1600-meter with a time of 5:06.72. Hurst was just behind in seventh. In the 3200, White finished in the top spot again, with Emery’s Addy Guymon coming in second at 10:35.51. Gentry Christiansen would finish fourth, and Hurst would take eighth.

Emery took part in two other relays, finishing in the top ten in both. In the sprint medley relay, Carlie Hurst, Megan Stilson, and Addie Hurst ran to a fifth-place finish, and in the 4×100, Gordon, Stilson, Carlie Hurst, and Molly Christiansen took ninth.

The Lady Spartans also placed well in field events, with Gordon taking fifth in the long jump with 16-2.5. In the high jump, Stilson tied for fifth with two others at a height of 4-11.0; teammate Hallie Frandsen landed in a three-way tie for 10th.
