The Green River High School Girls and Boys Indoor Track team traveled to Ogden, Utah, last week to Weber State University for its 26th Annual Weber State University Developmental Indoor Track and Field Meet. Friday, the meet started with field events.
Participating in the shot put, the Lady Wolves were led by senior Kim Peterson, whom head coach Dan Hansen said has been moving up the ladder this season. Peterson was the top finisher and only Lady Wolf to make the finals, finishing eighth with a throw of 28.03.25. She was followed closely by teammates Alaina Maiers in 11th at 27:08.28, Cassidy Gomez in 12th, at 27:08 and Alexis Martin in 20th at 26:04.50. The marks give the Lady Wolves a potentially strong contingent of throwers for the outdoor season with continued improvement in the next six weeks.
The boys were led in shot put by senior David Martinez, who finished 21st in the field of 63 with a throw of 37.07.25. Teammate Ty Alcorn took 52nd at 29.07.50.
