Capture

The PV student-athletes have done it again! North Canyon High School won the AIA Division II State Championship and individual championships. Pinnacle High School and Shadow Mountain High School athletes won individual Division I and Division III AIA Track & Field Championships. This is a fantastic accomplishment that could not have been done without our athletes' dedication and hard work. We are so proud of you all! 

Pinnacle High School Division I

The individual champions are as follows:

  • Gabriella Chiara - 800-meter run champion with a time of 2:12.21.
  • McKenna Watson - 200-meter dash champion with a time of 24.04.
"The girls are tremendous student-athletes with a great desire to win! They are track smart and are great leaders on and off the track! They have made Pinnacle very Proud," said Coach Allan Kirchmeier.

North Canyon High School Division II

North Canyon High School won the AIA Girls Track & Field Division II State Championship and individual championships. 

"To win a team state title, it takes being selfless. This very small team proved that, along with determination, focus, and grit," said Coach Airabin Justin. "We have the smallest team throughout the year, so every student-athlete on the team plays a part in the team's success." 

The individual champions are as follows:

  • Joy Moorer – Long Jump & 300IH
  • Gloriah Hussey – Triple Jump & High Jump
  • Naomi Malone – 4X100m Relay
  • J'Neya Hill – 4X100m Relay & 4X400m Relay
  • Jaida Steward – 4X100m Relay & 4X400m Relay
  • Oliviah Hussey – 4X100m Relay
  • Ava Ardizzone – 4X400m Relay
  • Treasure Rinaldi – 4X400m Relay

Shadow Mountain High School Division III

The individual champions are as follows:

  • Nate Pestka – 1600m, 3200m & 4X800m Relay
  • Jack Rea – 4X800m Relay
  • Ryan Brass – 4X800m Relay
  • Kannon Boloz – 4X800m Relay

"While these were individual wins, the team aspect cannot go unnoticed as Nate Pestka, Kannon Boloz, Ryan Brass, and Jack Rea are all part of a team that trains together and lifts each other up. While only one student-athlete gets a medal, it is a true team accomplishment," said Coach Richard "Matt" Shannon.
