AURORA | A gorgeous day for a track meet finished beautifully for Grandview.
An unusually warm day for the early spring season led to some outstanding performances Saturday at Aurora Public Schools Stadium, with the Wolves coming away with enough to hold off rival Cherokee Trail and sweep the boys and girls team championships.
Grandview topped by the Cougars by a single point on the girls side and by four on the boys side, while the Hinkley girls finished third and the Eaglecrest girls took the third spot as well.
Hinkley senior Darrien Wells was the big winner of the meet, as he swept the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes — the later event he won at last season’s Class 5A state track meet — while junior teammate Angel Heredia swept the hurdles events.
Grandview’s two event champions on the boys side were senior Hayden Blubaugh in the long jump and senior Robert Moss took the shot put, while the Wolves won five events on the girls side.
Juniors Kylee Harr (long jump, high jump) and Leilah Vigil (shot put, discus) each captured multiple city titles, while Caroline Robbins’ win in the 3,200 meter run rounded out Grandview’s winners.
Rangeview also had a multiple-event champion in Dawnielle Lewis, who won both the 100 and 200 meter dashes.
