Trevor's 1st event was the 300 hurdles at 7:00 pm. He had taken the Southern Division with 1st place after only 3 weeks of training. He was positioned to take 4th at state. He took off and was in 1st place until he rounded the last corner. He could feel someone coming up on him, he tried to speed up and caught the hurdle a little slowing him down he continued on and held on for 2nd place - a silver medal at state in his first event - an event he only started 3 weeks earlier.
Next the 4x400 Relay Team prepared for their big race. It was 9:45 pm on a cold and windy Friday night. The team was slated to take 3rd place. We looked on as they knelt in prayer asking Heavenly Father to help them run their very best! (all of the boys but one, I believe ran a personal best, in terrible conditions.)
I only hada video of this race, and by the way turn your sound down - It starts with the handoff to Trevor, then just watch on the other side for the 1st place person.
On the podium in 2nd place!!
400 Meter Race on day 2 the weather started out better, but about this time it started snowing. Almost to the finish line in 3rd place just behind Nick Tracy also of White Pine High School.
After taking 3rd in the 400 meter (he was slated to take 6th) he was totally spent and could hardly moved. Here his teammate who took 2nd is helping him to the medals podium.
Still waiting for the podium......
It was super cold and windy! We all barely survived as we hadn't expected it to be quite soooo cold.
This is what the local newspaper reported about Trevor and our 4x400 Team after State:
The boys 4x400 relay team of Jacob Bradshaw, Sam Johnson, Trevor Jones and Nic Tracy almost upset the favorite Whittell. The Bobcats led throughout the race, but Whittell's anchor John Robinson later won the 400, ran a fantastic race to edge out Nic Tracy. "Robinson ran a 49 split on his leg," Dolezal said. "You have to take your hat off to him for that kind of performance."
Senior Nic Tracy proved that he was one of the best 400 runners the following day coming in a close second to Whittell's Robinson.
"Nic had a great season in the 400 and it paid off here at state," Dolezal said. "He will be hard to replace." But his replacement was right behind him in the 400, Trevor Jones was right behind Nic in the 400 bring home the third place medal. "Trevor had two great races this weekend, the 400 and 300 hurdles. He is going to be one of the favorites in both events next year at state." Jones had a personal best in the 300 hurdles and placed second. "Trevor has only one speed and that is all out, that is what make him a great 300 hurdler."
A great sophmore year for Trevor. He is looking forward to the next two years in Soccer and Track his favorite sports.
