2A Championship storylines

Millard boys get big meet from Ben Ralphs to win to claim title

Millard’s boys track team ended a two-year title drought in impressive fashion with a 31-point win over Kanab.

After losing the region title last week, coach Cody Moat wasn’t sure how his team would respond, but it responded in a big way.

“Obviously it’s been a long year, and you worry a little bit about where they’re at and where their head is. We didn’t win region, and we try to just take that fuel from getting second at region to what are we going to do different, and what can we what can we change, what can we fix. These guys came ready to compete,” said Moat.

Millard picked up points in 12 events, highlighted by Ben Ralphs sweeping all three distance events.

One of the biggest keys was Preston Sanchez competing and scoring important points for his team in the 100 meters and 4×100 relay.

Moat wasn’t sure if Sanchez would even be able to run on Saturday.

“Preston Sanchez, he had some injuries in the medley, and I was thinking that’s gonna gut us in a big way if he can’t compete tomorrow and so just to have him be able to do what he did was pretty awesome,” said Moat.

North Summit girls push title streak to five straight

North Summit only had one individual winner (Ellie Stephens in the shot put), but the rest of 2A simply couldn’t keep up with the Braves’ depth in just about every event as they rolled to a fifth-straight state title with a 93-point cushion over second place.

“It was a really well-rounded team this year,” said North Summit coach Dave Peck.

North Summit put an athlete or relay team on the podium in all 16 events, and at least two athletes on the podium in 10 events.

To no surprise, the distance races are where the Braves really excelled coming off a fourth straight cross country state title.

They had four athletes podium in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters.

“What really helped us again was being able to put two, three, four people in each event,” said Peck.

“This team was really able to show their strengths in most of these events, especially in the running events.”

2A Record Breakers

Trey Torgerson, North Sevier (56.06, 400 meters) – Broke her own record of 56.22 from 2024.

South Sevier boys (3:24.08, 4×400 relay — Previous record was 3:34.93 by South Summit in 2016.

2A Multi-event winners

Ben Ralphs, Millard – 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters

“I’m super happy about it. It would have been nice to get four golds, but I’ll take what I can,” said Ralphs about his first-place finish in three races and runner-up in 400.

“I broke 50 in the 400, which is pretty cool.”

Trey Torgerson, North Sevier – 100, 200, 400 meters

“I PRd in all my running events. Long jump is really my mental challenge, but I just wanted to lay it all out on the track.

“I was just trying to enjoy it my senior year. Whatever happened my senior year, I’m proud of myself because I fell like I have a lot of accomplishments already,” said Torgerson.

Ainsleigh Kasprick, Grand – 800 and 1,600 meters, sprint medley

“It’s championship season, it’s racing to win. I was bummed that I didn’t get to win the two mile, but I had great competition so it’s nothing I can be upset about. I’m glad that I was able to come and get it done my senior year,” said Kasprick, who set new PRs in her 800 and 1,600 races.

Cale Torgerson, North Sevier – 100, 300 hurdles

“I’ve had a rough season, I haven’t PRd in any of my events. It’s been super challenging. I’ve had a lot of other things going on, I did a pageant and I’ve been doing club volleyball, so I haven’t been super committed so I’m happy with my performance considering my situation,” said Torgerson

Erik Robinson, South Sevier – 110, 300 hurdles

Preston Brown, Kanab – 100, 200 meters
