High school track: American Fork girls claim first 6A state title, Corner Canyon makes it five straight

Two of the oldest marks in the Utah high school boys track state record book were topped in an eventful 6A state meet on Saturday.

Corner Canyon’s Jerome Myles broke a 43-year-old 100-meter state record, and not long after Weber’s Josh Hamblin broke a 110-meter state record that date back to 2000.

“It’s crazy to like that it’s all-time state record because I’m so young, it’s crazy,” said Hamblin.

Several great sprinters have come up just short in their quest to break the elusive 100-meter record, but Myles is the unquestioned No. 1 now in state history as he posted a superb time of 10.36 to win the 6A individual title. He also won the 200 meters later in the meet, an event he set a state record in earlier this year.

Hamblin’s broke his state record by one-hundredths of a second. He ran a 13.80, and the old of 13.81.

In total there were six new overall state records set during the two-day meet at BYU.

Corner Canyon’s boys and American Fork’s girls were outstanding from start to finish in claiming state titles. It was the fifth straight state title for the Chargers, while it was the first for American Fork’s girls.

Both teams put a punctuation mark on their titles in the final 4x400 relays of the meet, both setting overall state records. Corner Canyon won with a time of 4:12.49, the eighth-best mark in the nation. American Fork set its record with a time of 3:46.56.

Daniel Simmons set the other new overall state records at the state meet, as Daniel Simmons backed up his 3,200-meter state record on Thursday with a 1,600 record on Saturday with a time of 4:01.27.

In total, Corner Canyon won three individual events and three relays as the Chargers tallied 158 points to claim the team title. American Fork finished second with 85 points, and Weber third with 66.5.

On the other side, American Fork tallied 140.5 team points to edge Lone Peak, which finished with 124 points.

“For me it shows how good we work together, in practices we’re always pushing and encouraging each other,” said American Fork junior Desirae Riehle, who won the 400 meters and anchored the Cavemen state record 4x400 relay team.

“I’m moving to Arkansas to next Saturday, and because this is my last meet I was really hoping to get one state record before I leave. "

American Fork’s other individual winner as Clara Baker in the shot with a put of 41′09.05.

There were two multi-event winners in the girls 6A meet, with Bingham’s Andrea Amoah finishing first in the 100 and 200 meters and Lone Peak’s Addelynn Meldrum winning the 800 and 1,600 meters.

For the boys, along with wins in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400, its other individual win was Tate Kjar in the 400 meters with a time of 47.79.

Jerome’s wins in the 100 and 200 meters, particularly the 100, were the result of his dedication throughout his first-ever track season and looking to improve his starts out of the block.

“He took to it fast, it was pretty cool to see him gain an interest in the sport and kind of start taking in input, and Doug (Robinson) did a good job of coaching him on his start and his mechanisms and transition and running form,” said Corner Canyon coach Eric Kjar.

Even on Friday in between the 6A meet on Thursday and Friday he was working on his starts to try and chase down the 100-meter state record. Everything came together on the big stage.

“My mindset was to get out the blocks hard, because the blocks starts are the weakest part of the race, but I trusted god and he guided me through the race,” said Myles. “Felt the best all year, kept my knees high, driving through, great foot strike, great start to my other ones.”
