The Berthoud girls track and field team continued their outstanding 2011 season at the Patriot League Championships hosted at Platte Valley High School on Friday afternoon. The Lady Spartans took first place in team competition with 152.50 points, winning six separate events. The boys team finished in the middle of the pack in sixth place after tallying 60.50 points. As a team, Berthoud finished behind Lyons and Eaton for third overall with a combined 213.00 points.

[1]Spartan senior Julia Leonard won first in both the 100m and 300m high hurdles events while junior Courtney Mills took home the blue ribbon in the triple jump with an event record jump of 37 feet, 5 inches. Mills was also able to take second place in the 100m dash, 200m dash and the long jump. Leonard, along with Ashley Prescott, Mollie Bonds and Hannah Kirk, won the 800m sprint medley and Prescott, Bonds, Kirk and Cheyenne Hall won the 4x100m relay. Both relay teams set event records. Senior Tanya Bezanson won the girls shot put event with a 39 foot, 9.50 inch throw.

The boys team, while not faring as well as their female counterparts, did manage to earn several runner-up finishes. Senior Steven Fiske took second in the 200m dash as did sophomore Axel Ayala in the 400m run. In the 300m hurdles, Berthoud senior Cooper Wynn finished just three-tenths behind Mead’s Jared Hernandez for second place.

The Spartans compete in the state track championships held at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood May 19-21.
