The Durango High School boys and girls track and field teams both won team titles at the Southwestern League Championships, held Friday and Saturday at DHS.
“That’s always the goal, so it’s always good to get it done,” said DHS senior Will Knight.
Knight won a pair of individual SWL titles. He won the discus with a throw of 152 feet, 1 inch, just over two feet further than teammate Justin Bates in second.
Knight also won the shot put with a heave of 52-08, just missing his personal record by a half inch.
The Demons captured lots of other first-place finishes in individual and relays as well.
Damian Frausto won the 800-meters (1:57.51) and the 1,600 (4:29.58). Land Lambert sprinted to the finish with Frausto in the 1,600, but finished just .02 seconds behind him. Lambert, however, captured the 3,200 title Friday in an SWL meet record 9:28.82.
Sydney Flores won both the shot put (38-01.75) and the discus (117-01) for the DHS girls.
In the pole vault, Halle Moore cleared 9-06 and Jacob Fenberg cleared 12-00 to place first.
Angela McManus won the girls 800 in 2:17.85. Willow Lott won the 1,600 in 5:17.41.
The DHS girls also won the 4x200 (1:53.30), 4x400 (4:20.31) and 4x800 (9:54.10) relays while the boys won the 4x200 (1:31.94).
Grand Junction Central’s Tristian Spence and Justin Blanton were named the SWL athletes of the year.
Spence won the girls 3,200 in 11:18.14 and Blanton won the 200 in an SWL meet record.
