2B Standards
At Regionals last year, senior Alissa Young threw the javelin 14 feet further than her previous personal best with a launch of 97-6. Another personal-best-buster last season was Lloyd Temby, who bested his triple jump record by six feet to qualify for Regionals, then beat that by another 14 inches to take 10th at Regionals. Temby is a sophomore this year. Jaden Vugteveen, a junior, qualified last year as an alternate for the state-qualifying relay by pulling a personal-best of 7-6 in the pole vault. Senior Dallas Tyus won the Caribou Trail League title in the triple jump at the CTL finals with a jump of 36-6.5. At the beginning of the season last year, Coach Thornton was quoted as saying, “The new goal is to have everyone set new PRs at the end of the season.” Clearly his athletes took him seriously.
The top two athletes in each event at District 5/6 regional meet qualify for state (some events may have additional qualifiers). However, any athlete may qualify regardless of placing if they meet the qualifying standards listed below (which are updated for 2014). 2B BOYS Event FAT 100 Dash 11.64 200 Dash 23.26 400 Dash 51.45 800 Run 2:01.05 1600 Run 4:34.08 3200 Run 10:00.20 110 Hurdles 15.85 300 Hurdles 41.22 4x100 Relay 44.95 4x400 Relay 3:32.68 Shot Put 47-9.5 Discus 144-6 Javelin 173-0
