The race

It was a foregone conclusion that North Summit standout Sadie Sargent would win the race as the senior has not finished behind a fellow Utah runner all season. Sargent’s winning time was over a minute better than that of second-place Maggie Zwahlen, also of team champion North Summit. Sargent now owns the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior state records at the state meet.

The winner’s quote

“It felt great. I mean, it’s what you want [another championship], right? It’s hard to do it by yourself. It wasn’t as fast as I wanted it to be, but I was fully rested. I was ready for it.”
