High school track: North Summit girls win 7th straight 2A title, Travis Stewart helps Kanab boys return to top of 2A
When Kanab’s Travis Stewart blew out his ACL in the opening game of the high school football season last August, the reality of missing out on the entire football season wasn’t the only thing on his mind.
The senior had won three sprints state titles at the state track meet just three months earlier and it was something he was really looking forward to replicating. Suddenly that hope was very much in jeopardy.
Stewart’s persistence in rehabbing made sure he wasn’t just back in time for the state meet, but better than ever. On Saturday at the 2A state track meet at BYU, Stewart once again won the 100, 200 and 400 meters, and then also added a fourth-place finish in the javelin. Those 35 points were instrumental in leading Kanab to the 2A boys state title, its second in the past three years.
“It feels good, really good, especially coming in second last year,” said Stewart, whose team finished first this season with 96 team points. Millard was in second with 80.
On the girls side, the North Summit dynasty marched on as the Braves tallied 128 team points to capture their seventh straight state championship. Millard’s girls also came in second with 116 points.
North Summit’s only top podium finishes were in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays, but it was the final 4x400 relay of the meet that clinched the state title and showed off the team’s depth.
“The difference is just the depth of our team, and we were able to have enough girls and put them in the finals in those sprints. Even in the distance, we were getting, three, four, five people on those events,” said Peck. “We had some good months and then not so good moments, and that’s what it’s all about in track. You have some highs and lows.”
North Summit trailed going into Saturday’s second day of competition, but the meet started out great with four athletes placing in the top eight of the morning 1,600 meters. From there, it slowly started to add points throughout the meet.
“The distance crew really kind of turned things around for us and that just got us some momentum,” said Peck.
While North Summit lacked individual glory, there was no shortage of standout performance for the 2A girls on Saturday.
Rowland Hall’s Jada Crockett had a phenomenal meet in winning the 100, 200 and 400 meters, including setting a new 2A record in the 400 meters with a time of 56.74. She broke the record of current BYU All-American Anna Camp from Millard High School.

Kanab distance sensation Kenidee Glazier also had a great meet as she won both the 1,600 and 3,200 meters.
North Sevier’s Cale Torgeson was a multi-event winner as well, as she finished first in the high jump and 100-meter hurdles.
On the boys side, LeFevre always figured his Kanab team would be in the mix for the title, but Friday’s first day wasn’t exactly a clinic in efficiency.
“Yesterday there were a few things that didn’t go the way we wanted to, our medley team got DQd, dropped the baton, that was kind of a blow. But they buckled down and did what they needed to today,” said LeFevre.
Kanab’s strength in the throws is ultimately what pushed it over the top. It had two athletes place in the top eight in the shot put, two in the discus and then three in the javelin.
