With only 2.59 seconds separating the fastest and slowest qualifying times, the 4x200 relay at last week’s 3A State Track and Field Championships at Moapa Valley looked like anyone’s race to win.
Fallon runners Rylan Clark, Wyatt Dixon, Nathaniel Bianchi, and Bransyn Wright made it their own. That quartet posted a time of 1:30.01, faster than all eight qualifying times, to win the state championship in the 4x200. Truckee, which was the fourth fastest qualifier, finished right behind in second place with a time of 1:30.16. The fastest qualifying team, Bonanza High from Las Vegas, was unable to finish the race.
The same group also ran the 4x100 relay, finishing fifth with a time of 44.87.
Wright was Fallon’s line individual qualifier for State, and he finished second in the high jump, matching his regional championship height of 6 feet, 4 inches, but Lowry’s Brent Kenison, who had jumped 6-2 at the regionals, cleared 6-6 to win the event at State.
