High school track: Snow Canyon’s Amelia Nadauld shines in breaking a pair of overall state records at BYU Invite

Snow Canyon’s Amelia Nadauld stole the show during Day 2 of the BYU Invitational on Saturday.

The junior set not one, but two overall state records in a dominant display as she competed against hundreds of her sprinter peers in the massive track meet.

First, Nadauld broke a 300 meter hurdles state record that had stood since 2013, and then later in the meet she broke a long jump record dating back to 2001.

“She has been so focused this year in her training. She is not doing club sports to focus on her training. She is doing all the little things to take it to the next level,” said Snow Canyon coach Justin Redfearn.

Nadauld came into Saturday’s BYU Invitational with the best 300 hurdles time in the state this spring, posting a 42.44 at the Pine Vite Invite back in March. She missed the state record by .90 in that meet, but in the process showed the record breaker was inevitable.

The moment came Saturday as she blazed down the track in a time of 41.05, breaking the older record of 41.54 that was set by Sky View’s Brenna Porter back in 2013.

It is the fourth fastest time in the nation this spring.

“She is as dedicated and committed to excellence that I have ever seen in an athlete. What has set her apart this year is how she has improved her mental preparation and positive self talk. It has helped to train daily with other elite athletes like Tia Brown and Makiah Turner. They have been so supportive and encouraging of one another,” said Redfearn.

As impressive as that record was, perhaps more impressive was what Nadauld did in the long jump pit a few hours later.

She jumped 19’08.75, snapping the 19’04.75 record that Alta’s Amy Menlove set over two decades ago in 2001.

It was the third oldest state record in the record books.

Nadauld’s jumps and sprinting coach, James Thompson, said that Nadauld’s trust in the process and trusting the coaches have enabled her to stop overthinking and just go out and perform.

In addition to Nadauld’s two records, Timpview star Jane Hedengren broke her own 1,600-meter state record in the first event of the day, raising the total of new state records at this year’s BYU Invitational to six after 11 records fell a year ago.

A day after Hedengren broke the 800 meter state record, she opened Saturday’s competition with a bag as she shaved five seconds off her own state record in the 1,600 meters.

A year ago she posted a 4:37.72 in the 1,600, but on Saturday shattered that mark with a 4:32.61 to continue her phenomenal spring season.

Brown set a new record in the 100 hurdles on Friday as she became the first girl in Utah to run under 14 seconds as she posted a 13.89.

The annual BYU Invitational featured 137 registered teams across the intermountain region and 3,474 registered athletes.

During the meet, Mountain View’s Kyle Steadman set a new 4A record in the 1,600 meters as he posted a time of 4:08.99.

He finished fourth behind Charlie Vause of Rio Rancho, N.M., Herriman’s Jackson Spencer and Skyline’s Jonah Fearnley.

While Nadauld and Hedengren won multiple events throughout the meet this weekend, Mountain Ridge’s Kinzlee Riddle had a phenomenal meet of her own as she won both the 200 and 400 meters.

While the girls stole the headlines, there were still some standout performances on the boys side. Bonneville’s Davis DeGroot won both the 200 and 400 meters, while Lone Peak’s Matthew Bryant won the shot put and discus.

On Friday, Riverton’s Tyler Warnick set a new overall state record in the long jump with a leap of 24’00.75.
