GMS track teams capture team titles in Burlington

With a strong tailwind at their backs and a malfunctioning timing system, local athletes produced some truly eye-popping stats at Friday’s Burlington Invitational.   
Coach Becky Eichelberger put less stock in the numbers that the timing system produced than the individual and team finishes of her athletes.
And on that count, it was a very successful day for GMS.
The following athletes qualified for next week’s Best of the Best competition in Lander:
• Alan Burgos, in the 200 meters
• Jayden Marchant, in the long jump
• William Harlow and Elijah Rice, in the discus
• Triston Gross, in the 100-meter hurdles
• Reagan Vigil, in the 100-meter hurdles
• Lovely Araiza, in the 100 meters.
GMS also fared well as a team, with the eighth-grade girls and the sixth- and seventh-grade boys topping their divisions, which included Rocky Mountain, Meeteetse, Burlington, Riverside and Ten Sleep.
