Day 1 in the books at regional track

They've entered the overnight at 3A West regional track competition in Jackson and everyone is chasing the host school entering Saturday.

Behind the strength of a 1-2-3-4 finish in the 800 meters and a 1-2 finish at 3200 meters, Jackson amassed an incredible 56 team points from just two events on Friday. The good news for the field is that, aside from the 1600 and the 4x800 relay, Saturday's schedule is mercifully void of distance races.

Jackson enters Saturday with an eight-point lead over the defending 3A state champion Powell Panthers, 72-64. The two programs have opened a bit of a gap between themselves and third place Cody, which carries a score of 45 points into Saturday. Lander (37), Pinedale (26.5), Lyman (20), Worland (5.5) and Mountain View (3) round out the boys' field.

In the girls' team competition, the multi-team battle royale is well underway. Jackson holds a one-point lead over Cody, 50-49, atop the standings. Worland (39), Mountain View (32) and Powell (31) are all in the thick of the chase. Lander (21), Pinedale (10) and Lyman (2) complete the standings.
