UTAH'S HIGH SCHOOL STATE TRACK & FIELD COMPITITION

CANDACE WIPES EM OUT(ALMOST)

Candace qualified for state in four events. The maximum you can qualify for!
She compeated in the Long Jump, High Jump, 4 x 100 relay, and the 4 x 400 relay.
The first day of the track meet she compeated in the long jump. She said " It reallydidn't feel like state. She didn't do her best. She took 4th place in the long jump. and she and her two teams qualifyed themselves for the finals in both the 4x100 & 4x400 races for the next day.
The second day she and her teammates took 1st in the 4x100 by a long shot. Then she took alot of mental preperation and took 1st in the high jump. Durring her event she was meditating so well the other girls compeateing against her had to tell her she won! She wasn't going to be able to compeate in the 4x400 because they werre going on at the same time, but she won the high jump so soon in the compitition that there was bearly enough time for her to check in and compeate. Her team was able to win the 4x400! What a day!

Moyes was first in the high jump (5-4), first in Wednesday's long jump (18-3.5), and ran a leg on Viewmont's second place 4x100 (51.04) and first place 4x400 (4:03.96) teams.
