WYOMING – The Pinedale track and field team closed the regular season with an action-packed weekend featuring athletes at three different meets.

The schedule opened with the Lynn Williams Memorial Invitational in Jackson on Friday, May 6. Rising to the top of the leaderboard, the Pinedale girls earned first place with 132.50 team points, outscoring Rock Springs by 7 points. The boys finished fourth, tallying 51 points.

Junior Stephanie Resendiz Hernandez scored her first season win in Jackson, pulling ahead of the pack in the girls’ 200-meter dash by 0.24 seconds to seize gold at 27.80 seconds. Her time landed well within the threshold to prequalify for State.

Resendiz Hernandez, juniors Mikayla Drake and Mandy Majhanovich and freshman Elyn Bowers qualified for State in the girls’ 4x100-meter relay on Friday. Clocking in at 53.79 seconds, the team beat Star Valley by more than a second to capture first place.

Hitting the road again on Saturday, Pinedale fielded a smaller team at the Shane Brock Invitational in Lander. The girls placed fourth overall with 55 points and the boys came in seventh, tallying 38 points.

Meanwhile, freshman Madison Antonino traveled to compete against top athletes from across the region at the Brigham Young University High School Invitational on Saturday. Antonino broke her own school record in the girls’ 1600-meter run set at the Thunder Ridge Invitational in Idaho on March 31. She placed eighth at BYU, timed in at 5 minutes, 28.32 seconds.

“Jackson and Lander both went well for the team,” said head coach Kyle Sullivan. “We continue to see key improvements for athletes, which is critical at this point of the season.”

This weekend, the team heads to the 3A West Regional Meet in Kemmerer, May 13-14.
