2025 Girls Region Track Results
The Watford City Girls team had a great day on Saturday, May 17. There were many PR set this day and we competed well. To start off the meet, we had our 4x800m Relay team take 7th place (consisting of Annabelle Bohn, Brooklyn Spotted Bear, Lola Olson, Kaite Olson). At a region meet, the top six placers qualify to compete at the state meet. Our 4x800m Relay team ran their fastest, and barely missed placing 6th place by about a two seconds. Our 4x100m Relay (consisting of Arlene Salas, Madalynn Greenhaw, Darbie Moberg, Salil Shoemaker) and 4x200m Relay (consisting of Arlene Salas, Paige Schuster, Salil Shoemaker, Fallon Sampsel) both barely missed placing 8th by less than a second. These two relay teams ran their best times all year too.
I am excited seeing all the progress we have made and not just qualifying by time with these relays but also getting faster and making gains on lowering the times to be able to compete at state and hopefully place.
Paige Schuster and Fallon Sampsel stepped up their day by placing top six in their 400m open races. This race came down to the finish for the whole competition. Fallon taking 3rd and Paige taking 5th. The difference in Time from the 1st place finisher and the 5th place finisher was 0.32 seconds. That tells you how close these five girls were when they finished.
Our best placing of the day goes to the 4x400m Relay team who dropped 6 seconds from their best time coming in and placing 2nd at the Region meet just one second behind taking first. This team consists of Paige Schuster, Lauren Melland, Darbie Moberg, Fallon Sampsel. The girl’s team took 10th out of 12 teams at Regionals.
I am so proud of all the girls this season improving their marks. They have put in the hard work and we have been fortunate enough to qualify nine girls this year.
