Personal and school records fall aplenty for DHS track

‘More than that, we start looking at the state meet now,’ coach McMillan says

It was a bad day to be a Durango High School track and field personal best or school record at the Tiger Invitational.

The Demons broke one school record and tied another amid loads of personal bests, as they finished fifth in the boys team standings with 63 points and sixth on the girls side with 64.

Pamona won the boys meet with 60 points, and Eagle Valley took first in the girls meet with 96 points.

Durango’s girls 800 sprint medley relay of Alli Davis, Miranda Gallegos, Shannon Maloney and Gabi Razma finished second behind Eagle Valley in a school-record 1 minute, 51.45 seconds.

The Demons’ 4x800-meter relay team of Emily Edwards-Colsman, Emily Fogel, Maloney and Hannah Peterson took third place in 10:10.14.

Mia Irwin of DHS qualified for the girls 100-meter hurdles final and finished eighth in 18.29 seconds.

“That’s a big step to make the finals of a big meet for her,” DHS head coach David McMillan said.

Peterson finished sixth in the girls 1,600-meter run in 5:36.09.

Joe Crawford of DHS came in third in the boys 1,600-meter run at 4:32.07, which shaved five seconds off his personal best.

“It was a really, really great race,” McMillan said. “He outkicked a couple kids coming home.”

Durango’s boys 4x100-meter relay of Shane Bisogno, Devin Lewis, Justin Marcum and David Moening won the event in 43.63 seconds. That jumped their time into the top-10 in Class 4A, McMillan said.

Marcum also took seventh in the boys 400-meter dash at 55.82 seconds.

Edwards-Colsman and Fogel went 7-8 in the girls 800-meter run in 2:33.07 and 2:33.1, respectively.

Trent Andrews and Garrett Mulkey of DHS finished second and third in the boys 800-meter run at 1:58.67 and 1:59.83, respectively.

“That should qualify them for the state meet, and will currently,” McMillan said.

Bisogno won the 200-meter dash in 22.91 seconds, two seconds faster than his previous personal best, an effort McMillan called “phenomenal.”

Benjamin Lachelt of DHS took eighth in the boys 3,200-meter run in 10:13.92, while Nicholas Turco was ninth in 10:21.18.

Durango’s girls 4x400-meter relay team of Davis, Gallegos, Maloney and Razma took second in 4:09.81.

The Demons’ boys 4x400-meter relay squad of Bisogno, Lewis, Marcum and Moening finished fourth in 3:30.7.

“It was a team we pulled together that ran really well,” McMillan said.

Razma finished second in the girls triple jump at 36 feet, 2 inches, just 1½-inches out of first place.

Bisogno took sixth in the boys long jump at 20-7.75.

Davis tied the school record with a first-place 5-8 high jump, which was 6 inches better than her previous personal best and 8 inches in front of the second-place finisher.

“She’s the top jumper in the state right now – one-and-a-half inches higher than anyone else,” McMillan said.

The Demons swept the second through fourth spots in the girls long jump: Davis was second at 17-02, Razma finished third at 16-10.5, and Gallegos was fourth at 16-06.75.

DHS next will compete at the Southwestern League Championships, starting Friday in Grand Junction.

“I think we’re in a great spot, but league is its own animal,” McMillan said. “The Southwest League is not as illustrious as it once was. We’re feeling good about what we have on the table.

“More than that, we start looking at the state meet now.”
