Just cooking: Spanish Fork softball rallies to beat Springville twice, wins fourth straight 5A state championship
The theme for the Spanish Fork softball team in 2024 was all about cooking. The Dons had chef hats and giant whisks in the dugout, and had baked treats to celebrate after games. But after dropping Game 1 to rival Springville on Thursday in the best-of-three 5A championship series at...
BYU’s Jaslyn Gardner turns in star performance at NCAA track prelims
For the second time in three days, BYU’s Jaslyn Gardner delivered one of the most surprising performances in the NCAA West Preliminaries track and field meet in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Saturday. The senior from Enterprise finished third in the 100-meter dash with a superb time of 11.00, which would be a huge improvement over her school record of 11.22, but it was wind-aided — barely. An aiding wind of 2.0 or less is legal; in Gardner’s case, the wind was over the allowable limit by a mere .01 of a second. Gardner, who began collegiate competition in 2019, was no better than sixth in the Big 12 championships two weeks ago with a time of 11.35, but she has caught fire at the end of her collegiate career.

More BYU athletes qualify for track and field nationals
BYU’s Dallin Shurts, a 6-foot-6 senior from Oregon, won the discus at the NCAA West Preliminaries Friday in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to advance to the NCAA track and field championships. Shurts, who was ranked fourth among collegians entering the meet, won the competition with a throw of 203 feet, 10 inches. Dimitrios Pavlidis of Kansas was second with a throw of 199-1. Shurts, the runner-up in last week’s Big 12 championships, was the 2022 runner-up at the USA national championships. The West and East Preliminaries, held simultaneously in Lexington, Kentucky, and Fayetteville, are used to determine qualifiers for the NCAA championships, scheduled for June 5-8 in Eugene, Oregon.
2 BYU Cougars qualify for NCAA track and field championships at West prelims
BYU’s Jenna Hutchins and Rebekah Erikson qualified for the NCAA track and field championships Thursday with their performances at the NCAA West Preliminaries in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Hutchins, a sophomore from Tennessee, finished fourth in the 10,000-meter run, and Erikson, a junior from Washington, finished in a three-way tie for first in the pole vault. Hutchins clocked a time of 34:10.30. The race was won by Oklahoma State’s Taylor Roe in 33:46.23. All 12 qualifiers in the pole vault cleared 14 feet, 1 1/2 inches and their places had to be settled based on misses, but even that could not separate the top three — Erikson, Baylor’s Molly Haywood and Oklahoma’s Olivia Lueking.
