It was a Bobcat sweep at the 1A state track meet on Saturday.
Panguitch’s boys repeated as state champs with a narrow win over Milford at BYU, while Panguitch girls dominated once again for a staggering ninth straight state championship.
Panguitch’s girls won two of three relays and then had three individual wins as its great depth throughout the program helped it rack up 161 team points.
Milford was a distant second with 97 points.
With its ninth straight title — which would’ve been 10 had COVID-19 not canceled the 2020 season — Panguitch is now just two more titles away from tying the state record 11 consecutive championship that Mountain View won from 1994 to 2004.
While Panguitch’s girls had their title wrapped up early in the meet, the boys couldn’t celebrate until their meet-ending second-place finish in the 4x400 relay.
Panguitch finished the meet with 122 team points, while Milford was close behind with 114.
Kolt Bonner anchored Panguitch’s runner-up finish in the 4x400 relay, and he knew exactly what it signified for the program when he crossed the finish line in second.
“Coming into this race we knew we were four points ahead and we knew we needed to get a good spot to take it. We did the best we could,” said the sophomore.
“We don’t have a lot of first places today but we have a lot of kids on the podium, which basically brought us the win.”

Bonner helped Panguitch win the 4x100 relay, and then teammate Kyler Bennett picked up huge points for his team as he swept the shot put, discus and javelin.
Tucker Chappell finished second in all three events for the Bobcats, and between the two of them they account for 54 of Panguitch’s 114 team points.
Just like the boys, Panguitch’s girls only had one winner but she scored huge points along the way.
Adelaide Englestead is the latest distance runner who’s paving the way for Panguitch success as she won the 800 and 1,600 meters on Saturday after winning the 3,200 on Thursday and then contributing to the sprint medley relay victory.
“I think it’s really exciting, and being able to win something as a team means more than winning just as an individual in my opinion, just ‘cause it’s fun to celebrate with everyone and see everyone’s success,” said Englestead.
Englestead wasn’t the only 1A runner who enjoyed great success at the state meet.
Milford senior Blake Barnes had four individual first-place finishes as he won both the 100 and 200 meters then 110 and 300 hurdles in leading the Tigers to the runner-up finish.
In the final race of his career in the 200, he dove over the finish line to edge Altamont’s Ethan Hansen by .03.
“I’ve had some pretty close races coming in and I was thinking if I have to dive, I’ve got to do it,” said Barnes.
“Four golds is always the ultimate goal. That’s what I was looking at. I knew I could, my coaches believe in me and I came out with what I wanted.”
Bryce Valley finished third in the team race, with Brock Syrett winning both the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, and then Miles Roberts winning the 800 meters.
In the girls competition, Rich’s Violett Taylor won three events just like Englestead, as she won both hurdles and then the 200 meters.
Altamont’s Aspen Thacker won the 100 and 400 meters.
