Two Riverside track athletes won regional championships at the 2A West Regional in Lander last week and the team added a few more thinclads to those who are heading to state this weekend.
Kinli Vigil placed in all four of her events, winning the regional title in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.29. Coach Steve Olson said Vigil has a good shot at the state title. The winning time in the east regional was 13.36 by Ashley Turner of Burns.
For the Rebels, Colton Hodge jumped to a regional championship with a personal-best height of 6-4 in the high jump. Hodge then attempted a school record at 6-7. Olson said he was close on his first attempt. He said Hodge should be in contention for a state title in the event. Kevin Christiansen of Lusk won the east regional at 6-0, and was seeded at 6-3.
