Snow Canyon boys’ dominance continues while Timpanogos girls earn title at 4A state track and field meet

Heading into the final race of the season, the 4A girls state title hung in the balance Saturday afternoon at BYU, with Timpanogos holding a slight edge over Snow Canyon leading up to the 4x400 relay. The Timberwolves wound up finishing ahead of the Warriors in the relay, ultimately earning their second ever state title in the sport.

For the Snow Canyon boys track and field squad, things were locked up early, with the school outpacing second place Pine View by 25 points when everything was said and done.

The Warriors win gives the school its third such trophy, with all three coming in the last three school years.

“This is four straight years where our kids have shown up at the state meet and ran their very best,” Snow Canyon head coach Justin Redfearn said. “This year, we had to kick and scratch and fight a lot more. We asked the kids to give even more and … they just bought in. They just said, ‘Whatever you need coach. We’ll do whatever you need us to do.’”

That can-do attitude has led the Warriors back to the top of their classification.

Snow Canyon was led by senior sprinter Trevor Gough, who anchored the Warriors 4x400 relay team that ended the day with a 4A state record time of 3:18.50.

Snow Canyon beat the previous record, a record that had stood for 33 years, by 1.5 tenths of a second.

Gough and the rest of the 4x400 team felt loose heading into their final race, knowing that the team title was all wrapped up.

“Going in … we were all smiles knowing that we’d won the 4A state championship,” the senior speedster said. “We just went with good spirits and I feel like that carried on pretty well into the race.”

Gough also took home the 300-meter hurdles state trophy and added to his team’s tally with a fifth place 110-meter hurdle finish.

Ultimately it turned into another memorable ending for the Snow Canyon boys team.

The Timpanogos girls team also had an unforgettable weekend, eking out a state title in the meet’s waning moments.

“We tried to be strategic,” Timpanogos head coach Jody Benson said. “(We) pulled a couple girls out of the eights … so they’d be fresh for this four by four because we knew it would come down to it.”

Benson was right and it paid off in a big way for his team.

“(I’m) super excited for these girls,” he said. “It was a team win. … Every single one of them just all cheering on, all supporting (each other) and all wanting to just do their very best. And that was what we asked of them.”

The state championship was a redemption of sorts for the Timberwolves after coming up eight points shy of first place in the 5A state meet a year ago.

“Last year, it was heartbreaking,” Benson said. “But it’s fun to see them … have the end result as we did today.”

Senior sprinter Bria Anderson did everything she could to help the Timberwolves win the title, scoring 21 points all by herself. Anderson won the 400-meter and 800-meter races while chipping in another point for an eighth place finish in the 200-meter dash.

“I’m just so grateful especially for my team,” Anderson said. “I was just thinking about them (in my races). I’m just so grateful for them; so excited for everybody.”

That excitement might not wear off for a while as the Timberwolves have a lot celebrate.

Other notable races included Mountain View setting the girls state record in the 4x800 relay and Desert Hills girls doing the same in the 4x100.
