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.
