Walker said the meet also showed steady improvement from his team.

“That being said, I feel we saw continued progress with 37 PRs from our group over the course of the meet,” he said. “We also had top 10 finishes by several of our athletes that have expectations to be on the podium at the end of the season at our state meet.”

Several Rock Springs athletes placed among the top 10 in their events.

On the girls’ side, Aria Wheeler finished sixth in the 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes, 29.6 seconds. Tahlia Knudsen placed eighth in the high jump after clearing 4 feet, 8 inches.

The boys also produced multiple top-10 performances. The 4×400-meter relay team of Walker, Swigart, Hamilton and Sisneros placed third in 3:45.4, while the 4×800-meter relay team of Lavato, Knox, Swenson and Berry finished ninth in 9:39.1.
