The West Wendover Wolverine Track and Field ran fabulously and had excellent throws at last week’s Wells invitational track meet in Elko. The 4×800 meter relay team (Raul Ruiz, Jair Hernandez, Colton Smith, and Jorgue Aguirre) took second at the meet and beat their school record by almost one second. With a time of 9:24.15, they took first place in their division. Colton Smith took first place for the 800 meter with a time of 2:17.97, making him fourth in his division. Jesus Rosales took second place for the 110 meter hurdles, making him fourth in the division. The 4×400 meter relay team (Raul Ruiz, Jorgue Aguirre, Triston Franco, and Colton Smith) took first place with 4:00.37, making them fourth in the division. Jorgue Aguirre took second place for the mile with a time of 5:10, and still is second in the division with a personal record of 5:02. Raul Ruiz came in third for the mile at 5:19. Alexis Sweat ran 6:55 for the girls’ mile, making her fourth in the division.
