Led by its star distance runners, Timpview’s girls track team won a third straight 5A state championship on at BYU on Saturday, while Viewmont’s boys ended a 21-drought to claim its state title.
Timpview’s Lily Alder and Jane Hedengren each set overall state records during the meet.
Here’s a look at some of the top storylines from the 5A meet.
With its distance depth, Viewmont was the favorite heading into the state meet, but coach Tom Harris didn’t foresee the type of dominance he got out of his athletes this week at BYU.
Viewmont placed athletes on the podium in eight events, including three in the 1,600 meters and four in the 3,200 meters, in racking up 84 points for the 29-point win.
“It’s been the whole season of stepping up, doing the work on the track. It’s cliche, but they’ve been doing the work and we always say the hay’s in the barn and I said a couple weeks ago or last or yesterday, that I think our barn is full and the walls are expanded this far. These guys have done the work, and it just really showed last couple days,” said Harris.
The four runners who podiumed for Viewmont in the 3,200 meters — the first race of the meet — set the tone for the entire event.
“So that was a fun start, four on the podium in the first event. I think that started it, and another cliche, winning is contagious. Everybody started going, ‘OK, I can win too.’ Everybody kicked it up another notch,” said Harris.
Hayden Arbuckle won that event for the Vikings to get the party started.
Despite not having nearly the same depth on the team as a year ago, Timpview’s star power in the distance events was more than enough to lead the T-Birds to a third straight state title.
Jane Hedengren and Lily Alder combined for three first-place finishes, two second-place finishes and contributed to a pair of relay wins as Timpview won with a 25-point cushion.
Last year it won by 98 points.
“We obviously lost a big group of hurdles from last year,” said Timpview coach Jaimie Ribera. “The key was just everyone stepping up and doing their job to get whatever points.”
During the meet, Hedengren set a new overall state record in the 3,200 meters and Alder set a overall new state record in the 800 meters.
Ribera said that her superstars create such a winning culture within the program.
“They’re both just work horses. That’s what I’d say is the best part about both of them. I mean, obviously they’re really talented and that’s fantastic, but they really do work for it, like they love the sport, they want to be good teammates and they work their butts off,” said Ribera.
Jane Hedengren, Timpview (9:48.73, 3,200 meters) – Broke her own record of 9:52.96 from last year’s state meet.
Lily Alder, Timpview (2:05.33, 800 meters) – Broke Jane Hedengren’s state record of 2:05.96 from earlier this season.
“I think we just kind of wanted to expand off each other, and then when I went for it, it was pretty fast, and I just went for all I could,” said Alder about finishing first ahead of teammate Hedengren.
“Honestly, I really just wanted to make a fast, hard race. I was hoping she was right with me so that we could just push each other that last 200. I wanted to be neck and neck, and I wanted us both get PRs.”
Viewmont boys (7:42.55, 4x800 relay) — Broke own state record of 7:43.31 from 2024
Davis DeGroot, Bonneville – 100, 200, 400 meters, long jump
“I accomplished more than I wanted. I was only placed third in the 100 meters, and just had the perfect race so it feels great. Obviously I’ve very blessed, a junior and just go four golds so I’m very happy,” said DeGroot.
“I’m so incredibly excited for my future. I love the sport of track. It’s the most amazing thing ever created. Pure human abilities. That’s why it’s amazing, pure athleticism.”
Jane Hedengren, Timpview – 1,600, 3,200 meters, 4x400 relay
Lily Alder, Timpview – 800 meters, 4x400 relay, 4x800 relay
Jonah Fearnley, Skyline – 800, 1,600 meters
“I felt incredible, especially considering the last two weeks I’ve been dealing with a hip injury. There was a point last week I thought I couldn’t even run, so being able to turn it around and actually come out her and complete felt really, really great,” said Fearnley.
“The 800 is my best event by far. I just had a big spike of improvement in the 1600 this year. I don’t know where that came from, but it did and I’m really happy with it. It was a good season.”
Emerson Stout, Cedar Valley — 100, 200 meters, 4x100 and 4x200 relays
“This is awesome right now. I never expected to get four medals because last year I didn’t get any medals,” said Stout, who was mostly focused on soccer until an ACL injury changed her focus.
She will be running at UVU next year.
Hayden Arbuckle, Viewmont — 3,200 meters, 4x800 relay
“Coming off cross country, I did not have the confidence I do now. Running with these guys day in, day out really built my confidence and gave me the hope and shot to win,” Arbuckle said. “Before the race, I told myself I was gonna go for the win.”
