Powered by a series of strong performances, the Powell High School girls’ track team ran, vaulted and threw their way to a state title on Saturday.
The Panther girls racked up 105 points across the three-day event in Casper, handily defeating runner-up Buffalo, which finished with 71 points. It was the Powell team’s first title since 1992, after several runner-up finishes over the past decade.
Meanwhile, the boys’ team took seventh place, as Lander took the Class 3A crown. The Panthers boys posted a number of strong individual performances, led by senior Riley Bennett, who took second in the pole vault.
As for the girls, they had multiple All State showings.
PHS freshman Waycee Harvey outran the field in the 100 meter dash for a state title, while junior Jenna Hillman won the 200 meter dash and took second in the 400. Harvey and Hillman also joined forces with sophomores Anna Bartholomew and Megan Jacobsen to take the 4x400 meter relay.
In the field events, meanwhile, the Panther girls picked up three silver medals: senior Emma Karhu in the pole vault, junior Reagan Thompson in the shot put and senior Cassidy Miner in the discus.
