PUEBLO — Not only did Dayspring Christian win the 2A boys track title, but it did so in dramatic fashion Saturday.

Dayspring's 1,600-relay quartet of Jared Sanderford, Brock Martin, Luke Greener and Dan Baer won the final event of the meet at Dutch Clark Stadium.

That win coupled with Lyons taking third in the 1,600 relay gave Dayspring the state title with 62 points, one better than Lyons. Sargent was second in the 1,600 relay.

"This is an incredible feeling," said Baer, who ran the anchor leg. "We worked so hard to achieve this goal."

The signifigance of the title wasn't lost on Greener.

"We showed what a small school in Greeley can do when we put our minds together," Greener said.

Baer and Greener are seniors, while Sanderford and Martin are juniors.

On Saturday, Baer also won the 110 and 300-meter hurdles and Dayspring was first in the 400 relay.

Lyons' Colin Anderson was gracious in defeat.

"It's tough to lose (state) by one point, but Dayspring and Sargent were just faster than we were in the 1,600 relay," Anderson said. "We gave it everything we had (Saturday) and we just came up a little short."

On the girls side, Lyons ran away from the competition, scoring 90 points, while Akron was a distant second with 48, followed by Crowley County at 40.

Lyons had balanced team scoring all weekend. Saturday, Melissa Roberts took first in the 3,200-meter run. The Lyons girls have now won state in 1987, 2003 and 2008.

"We had a great group of girls on this team," Lyons' coach Mark Roberts said. "We had some leaders who really stepped up and we had some younger girls who also stepped in and came through for us."

Individually Saturday, Crowley County standout Shaylee Robinette once again had no peers at the Class 2A state track meet.

For the second year in a row, she won the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes and the triple jump. As a sophomore, she also took gold in the 200, 400 and triple jump and was second in the 100-meter dash.

Those 11 gold medal performances were hard for Robinette to fathom Saturday.

"Doing this again (winning four state championships), hasn't sunk in," Robinette said. "I know it's great feeling to end my high school career this way. I just feel that my success is a result of all the support my family, coaches and friends have given me."

Robinette, who is headed to the University of Northern Colorado in the fall, won the 100, 200 and 400 with relative ease. The triple jump, however, was a different story.

Wray's Emily Post, on the second to last jump of the event, took the lead at 36-feet, 5.75 inches.

"When she did that, I knew I had to step up and come through," Robinette said. "I definitely knew that I was capable of beating her."

With one dramatic leap, Robinette sealed the triple jump victory by registering a 36-foot, 7-inch mark.

"That was a big relief," Robinette said. "All I had left to run after that was the 200 and that's my best race."
