State Track!

Lovell Girls are Champions for the second straight year!
This article is from the Casper paper.

Might as well get used to this.
Lovell won the Class 2A girls championship at the Wyoming State High School Track and Field Championships on Saturday, notching its second consecutive title and showing the rest of the 2A schools why they're already the odds-on favorites for a third.
Three Lovell athletes -- Karen Koritnik, Kim Shumway and Susie Shumway -- combined for 84 individual points, and then grouped with Alyssa Geiser to score 10 more by winning the 1600 relay.
Those 94 points alone would have been enough to give Lovell the championship. By 24 points.
"We kind of knew we had it in the bag," Geiser said. "After regionals, we knew we had it."
The scary part for the rest of 2A is that Koritnik was Lovell's only state-qualifying senior.
The Lovell girls won by 46 points over second-place Lusk. Kim Shumway won the 200, 400 and 1600 -- events that ran back-to-back-to-back on Saturday afternoon -- while Koritnik added a first-place finish in the 300 hurdles to help Lovell salt away the championship.
Lovell coach Joe Koritnik said he challenged his team not only to win the 2A championship but to put up times and marks to challenge any team in the state.
"Those are the things that drove them to excel as much as anything," he said.
"They came here wanting to set their mark on the entire state, and they really did."
He also praised the work of his star freshman, Kim Shumway, who won four gold medals over the span of about three hours on Saturday afternoon.
"You got to really admire what she did," he said. " ... Not too many kids could have done that [in the short time span]."

The boys team took third this year.  Next year we get some new coaches with different goals and areas of expertise so I am looking for the boys to take a Championship too.  Mark ran in the 4 X 400 relay. He ran a great leg.  I forgot to put the memory chip in my camera so I need to get some pictures from other people to show off this fantastic Lovell team.  I am hoping that more kids will go out to be a part of this.
