I pictured it, with different people Roth has been to two state cross where they were, but I went out ex country meets, four state swim actly like I wanted ” meets and this w ill be her fourth Sam Romey also provided his state track meet. share of drama Saturday, especial State titles, so far, have eluded ly in the 3000 her “ It has always been a goal of Romey won the 1500 and the 3000, mine to be a state champion,’ ’ and Hutchinson has to constantly Roth said Individually, the 800 is remind himself and others that her best opportunity, she said, ad he's just a sophomore, and thus ding that the 800 can be anyone’s can only be pushed so much race Romey seems perfectly capable of pushing himself. " I ’ve only gone down once after a race. I mean down on the ground,” Romey said. “ I want to do that again. It hurts so much but i t ’s worth it afterwards “ I'm really going to go for it and see what I can do ’ He’ll be hoping for rain and no wind, conditions he feels are ideal. His win in the 1500, with a 4:02.4, was a personal and a district record. He’d like to break the four- minute barrier at state, and a 3:58.1 (Ken Urban, 1979) is the school record. “ T hat fo u r-m in u te b a rrie r, that’s always been the thing to do,” he said, adding that a good third lap is the key for him “ At 100 (meters), it hit me that I was under three (minutes). I ’ve never seen the clock coming down the stretch. I don’t remember what it was. but if I had seen it and if it had registered, I think I could have got rid of those two seconds.” While most of the athletes on Sandy’s track teams have been for tunate enough to have enjoyed relatively good health this season, senior Stephanie Hagstrom has not. She did not achieve the goals she would have liked during volleyball, and though she’s been winning and placing in the javelin, discus and shot put, she’s not progressing as she would like. A sore shoulder, elbow and back have made running d ifficult, and weight liftin g is out of the question, Still, Hutchinson said she has the technique to do well at state, even if she hasn't been able to train like she would have liked. “ I ’m just going to go all out I ’ve got nothing to lose,’ ’ she said With a minimum of competition from league opponents, Hagstrom feels that maybe she’s been holding back some. The district javelin champion, who is making her third trip to a state track meet, is aiming for the 157 mark. “ In the past I ’ve always thrown well at district and then have blown it at state So this year I ’m planning on doing real well at state since I kind of blew it at d istrict.” Is she looking for a state title? “ Yeah,” she said, “ I ’m not sure I want everybody to know that, but th a t’s really what I want because I think I can do it. “ This year I haven’t seen very many javelin throwers getting ’em out there in the (l)60s like they were last year and the year before. “ They’re just kind of lingering around the (l)50s, and if I get that one out there I want, I can win it." Hagstrom w ill also be competing in the discus throw She finished second in that event. Junior Paige Daugherty won the district shot title with a put of 40-6, a personal record. She’s been waiting to hit the 4()-foot mark, and feels she can throw further. “ It was just effortless,” she said about that throw “ Everything felt right I was just totally relaxed and it went for me. I think I try too hard sometimes and it messes me up ” She said she's stronger and faster than ever, and so has been impatient for her throws to im prove, not only in the shot put but in the discus and javelin as well. “ I thought my throws would im prove more than they did If I work at something, I like to see results right away.” She plans on making her second trip to the state meet worth the wait. Sophomore Denise Proctor, the second-place finisher in the shot put, reports being physically and mentally prepare for her first state meet As far as her form, she said, " I need to speed it up a little bit, but I ’m working on it. I ’m going to be ready.” Robert Karsten feels that junior Chris Crabtree has the potential to go 14 feet in the pole vault. Crabtree’s PR is 13, and he went 12 9 for a second-place finish in the district meet. The last couple of weeks have gone well, he said The jumping feels natural now There's no pause in his ap proach, he’s bending the pole and getting his kick. “ Now that I ’m doing my kick, I ’ve got everything, ’ he said Rope climbing and weight lifting have increased his upper-body strength, but i t ’s the mental aspect that's important now. " I feel every time I take a jump I'm putting new data in my brain It's just like I have a blank picture when I ’ m going down (the runway). I don't even look at the bar I look straight ahead. And when I'm going I just think of everything I |ust did. as I ’m doing it.” He added, “ Sometimes I chew gum That gives me really good rhythm That helps my footing, re a lly.” As for the state meet, he said, “ I ’m just going down there to com pete.” Richard Doering’s 187-2 throw, good for second in the javelin, was a personal record and earned the senior his first irip to state.
