Meet Story

This event was hosted by the University of New Mexico and was not a sanctioned state championship. The event was an open/all-comers meet where the "championship" heats/sections consisted of athletes who had the top 8 marks from the first 3 All-Comers meets. This is why there were athletes with better times/distances that were not considered "State Champions". They had not qualified for the event final (Curtis Beach in the 200m Dash and Pole Valut) or they were from out of state (Lindsey Sowards CO and Christain Lepure TX). Only the athletes competing in the championship heats/sections were considered "State Champions" by the rules set up by the University of New Mexico coaching staff.      -Salomon Gonzales

Highlights
  • Rolando Trammel (Highland HS) won 3 State Championship titles taking the 60m hurdles in 8.22, the 200m in 22.66 and the long jump with a mark of 22-11
  • Curtis Beach (Albuquerque Academy) had an outstanding day running the fastest 200m of the day (22.46) in an open heat, turning in the top HS Pole Vault (14-6.00) in open competition and finishing second in the Shot Put (42-9.00)
  • Ryan Fenton (Hope Christian School) completes an impressive distance double by winning the 3200 (9:56.31) and taking home a state championship in the mile (4:34.56)
  • El Paso's Christian Lepure  (TX) runs fastest mile of the meet (4:31.32) in the open competition

Meet Story - by Salomon Gonzales

The Albuquerque Convention Center was buzzing with excitement Saturday night as some of the best athletes in the state readied themselves for the inaugural indoor state championship. This championship "of sorts" was the creation of University of New Mexico Head Coach Joe Franklin who opened up the venue to high school athletes during the Lobo's 4-week home stand. On Saturday night Franklin was pleased with the crowd and atmosphere stating, "This is our best crowd yet. We have had 300- 400 people for the University competitions but this crowd easily exceeds those numbers. Hopefully someone will see that 'indoor' (track) can be a revenue producer and they will sanction it as a season in New Mexico. The crowd here today proves that there is an interest."

The New Mexico State Championship was hosted by the University of New Mexico and was not a sanctioned state championship. The event was an open/all-comers meet where the "championship" heats/sections consisted of athletes who had the top 8 marks from the first 3 All-Comers meets. This explains why there were athletes who had faster times/distances but they were not considered "State Champions" because they had not qualified for the event final (Curtis Beach in the 200m dash and pole vault) or they were from out of state (Lindsey Sowards CO and Christian Lepure TX). Only the athletes competing in the championship heats/sections were considered "State Champions" by the rules set up by the University of New Mexico Coaching Staff. The goal of the Lobo coaching staff was to provide the state with an opportunity to run indoor and a “championship” where athletes from all divisions (small school 1A to large school 5A) could compete against each other.

Boys

Two of New Mexico's brightest stars stole the show Saturday night. Highland High School's Rolando Trammel continued to dominate the indoor scene. He kicked off the event by blazing away from the field in the 60m hurdles running 8.22. Later Trammel out-dueled Rio Rancho High School junior Larry Dupree in the long jump 22-11.00 to 21-9.00. In his last event of the day Trammel won his final state championship by running 22.66  in the championship heat of the 200m dash. In an earlier "open" heat Curtis Beach ran the fastest time of the day, clocking 22.46. The 200m dash is the only event in which Beach has suffered a defeat at the outdoor state championships in the last two years. On Saturday he was able to run faster than two of his 4A rivals Jake Espinoza of Aztec and Josh Newsome of Farmington who ran 22.86 and 23.02 respectively. Last spring is was Newsome who forced Beach to take home the silver medal. Beach finished off his day by clearing 14-6.00 in the pole vault and finishing 2nd in the shot put.

In the distance events, Hope Christian School's Ryan Fenton continued to dominate. In the mile run he and brother Eric were able to capture the top 2 spots in the Championship division, but it was Christian Lepure (El Paso) who ran the fastest time of the day beating Ryan Fenton by over 3 seconds. In the 3200m run, Ryan Fenton ditched his usual front-running strategy; for the first 8 laps of the 16-lap race Ryan was content to follow Cibola junior Vincent Montoya who covered the first 1600 in 4:57. On the 9th lap Fenton took control of the race and put nearly 10 seconds on the field finishing in 9:56.21.

The mid-distance events were won by a pair of 3A competitors. In the 800m run John Cordova of Hope Christian School was able to hold off Christopher Espinosa of St. Pius X 2:01.86 to 2:02.66. In the 400m Sandia Prep's Bronson Duran defeated a talented field running 50.84.

Girls

In the girls competition a troika State Championships (outdoor) made their mark on the indoor track. Los Alamos High School senior Amanda Trujillo crushed the field in the 60m Dash running an impressive 8.02. Trujillo is the 4A-defending champion in the 100 and 200m dash. In the 800m run Belen junior Aleona Reyes proved that she is back from the stress fracture that shortened her cross country season. Reyes easily won the 800m in 2:27.76. Reyes won the 4A 800m run last season as a sophomore. In the 3200m run "Killer" Kate Norskog ran a solid 12:00.48 to distance herself from the field. Norskog has been the most dominant distance runner in the 3A division. Last spring Norskog swept the 1600 and 3200m gold medals at the state championship as a freshman. And during this school year she continued her dominance winning her second cross country state title in 3 years.

For the rest of the meet there was a sprinkling of solid performances that started with 60m hurdles. CiCi Cordova of Rio Rancho clocked 10.37 to take home the first state championship of the night. The diminutive Cordova utilized great form and strength to run away from the taller competition. In the jumps Lindsey Sparks was able to double in the long and triple jump but she faced very little competition. In the 400m dash Albuquerque Academy "twins" Paige and Amanda Throckmorton took the top 2 spots running 1:00.23 and 1:02.79 respectively.
