Panthers host Rangely Invitational track meet for 7 schools

RANGELY I The Rangely Panthers hosted the Rangely Invitational meet on Saturday, April 22.

Seven teams made their way to Rangely: Meeker, Caprock, North Park, Hayden, Little Snake River, Debeque and Grand Valley. The meet was smaller than what the Panthers head to every weekend but there was a lot of good competition on both the girls and boys side and it was nice not having to travel for a weekend.
There were a lot of personal records by the Panthers but there was a new meet record set by Patrick Scoggins in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:57.31. The original record was set in 1981 by Southall from Steamboat Springs with a time of 1:58.31. This is also a new school record which was set by Scoggins last year of a time of 2:00.89. He also placed first in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.02 and helped out on the 4×400.
Senior Lindzey Thacker had a good meet. She high jumped, ran the 4×200, 400-meter dash and the 4×400. For the high jump she cleared 4 feet 5 inches for fourth place and she was able to place second with a time of 1:04.13 with a new personal record. Freshman Zoey Peck was busy doing the long jump with a jump of 12-01, running the 100-meter dash with a time of 14.77 to place eighth then running the 4×200 and 4×400. Miekka Peck did a wonderful job of singing the Star-Spangled Banner before competing in the shot and discus. She threw an 85-03 in discus and 26-03 for shot, placing seventh in both. Phalon Osborn gave the 300-meter hurdles a try for the first time at the meet. She ran them in 56.08 for third place. She also ran the 100 hurdles with a time of 19.57 placing second. She also helped out in the 4×200 and 4×400. Raelynn Norman ran a lot at this meet. She ran the 1,600-meter, placing second with a time of 6:28.59, a new season record for her. She also ran the 3,200-meter run with a time of 14:14.89 placing fifth and setting a new personal record. She also helped out in the 4×400. Kaylee Mecham set new personal records in both of the throws. She threw a 23-06.75 in shot and 57-00 in discus. She also helped out in the 4×100. Jayleen Kenny threw the discus for the first time with a throw of 54-06 and then threw the shot for 22-10.75. Elena Forbes set a new personal record in both her throws also. For shot she placed ninth with a throw of 25-04.25 and 61-05 in discus.

In the 1,600 she took fifth place with a new personal record of 7:32.18 and fourth place in the 800 with a time of 3:27.06. Breanna Davis threw the shot for 30-10.75 for third place and in the discus she threw 66-11. She also helped out in the 4×100. Makenzie Cochrane was busy jumping, throwing and running. She gave high jump for a try for the first time in a varsity meet with a jump of 3-9 placing seventh. In the 100 dash she ran a 15.12 placing 10th. For throw she threw 29-05 placing fourth and 92-01 in discus also placing fourth. Katelyn Brown completed in her first meet of the season in the triple and long jump. She placed third in triple with a jump of 31-03.75 and then fifth in long with a jump of 14-05.75. She helped out with the 4×200.
Marshal Webber set new personal records in all of his events. He placed second in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 18.05, second in the 300 hurdles with 43.91 and then fifth in the 200-meter dash with 26.18.

  • Mormon crickets have hatched near Rangely. They were all sighted on BLM land north of Hwy. 64 near the junction of CR 96 and CR 1, down a dirt road near the Moffat County line.  The picture shown was taken yesterday by Mary Meinen from Rangely. She says the crickets are about the size of a ladybug (less than 1/2”). Some of them are actually yellow in color but most of them are darker. They are milling around and getting ready to start moving soon. Note: Photo is not to scale.
Rio Blanco County and the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts are still asking for your help to identify additional hatch-outs of crickets so that control efforts can be put in place. The success of the program will highly depend upon local landowners and the public helping to locate crickets as soon as they hatch.  See last week’s paper for a list of ways to help or contact the County Weed & Pest District at 970-878-9670 or the Conservation District office at 970-878-9838 with any questions.
