Bulldog JV gridders fall to Worland
BY SAM SMITH
The Lovell High
School junior varsity foot-
ball squad fell to the Wor-
land Warriors in a close
game 24-22 Monday in
Worland.
Lovell led 8-6 at half-
time, then built their lead
to 22-8 after three quar-
ters. In the fourth quar-
ter, the Warriors shut out
the Bulldogs 16-0 to win
by two.
The Bulldogs’ scores
came on a two-yard run
by Porter Nichols and
runs of 35 and 20 yards
by Joey Mickelson.
“The first half was
slow,” coach Nick De-
Witt said. “Both teams
took time off the clock
with long running drives.
Third quarter, we start-
ed ofi' strong by capitaliz-
ing on two Worland turn-
overs with touchdowns.
We didn’t finish all four
quarters and got tired.”
The Bulldogs will
wrap up the JV por-
tion'of the season Mon-
day, facing the Cody
Broncs in Cody at
5 p.m.

Lovell runners tune up for Regionals
BY DAVID PECK
After taking a week off
from competition, the Lovell
Bulldogs had mixed results
Friday at Powell in their fi-
nal tuneup before the re-
gional and state cross coun-
try meets, coach Caleb
Sanders said this week.
“I was kind of hoping
they’d race good and get
back into it,” he said. “I re-
ally had no expectations. I’m
pleased with the girls team.
The boys were so-so. But it
was the girls’ season best
across the board.”
Senior Jaclyn Cald-
well finished second in the
44—runner field with a time
of 20:22.46, beating famil-
iar foe Erin Wooley of Cody
by seven seconds. Sanders
named Caldwell as the high
school female athlete of the
week.
“That was her best 5K
time of the year,” Sand-
ers said. “She beat a girl
who has beaten her all
year (Wooley). Jackie start-
ed off just perfect. It looked
like the Cody girls (Wooley
and winner McKayla Moss)
would pull away.
“It was a blistering
pace. But I had the feeling
Jackie would catch up. She
was chipping away at it. You
could tell — in Powell you can
see them a lot — every time
(I saw her) huge gains were
made. She passed Wooley
at about the two-mile mark.
It was really a good Jackie
Caldwell type of race.”
Sophomore sister Jes-
sica Caldwell also ran well,
Sanders said, placing 12th
with a time of 22:10.24.
“Jessica was 10th for
most of the race and ran a
5K PR,” Sanders said. “She
had been running in the 23s
97

in.

this season.”
Sanders said he was also
pleased with senior Caitlyn
Lundberg, who placed 35th
with a time of 25:44, and
with senior Afton George,
36"h at 25:56.29. Junior Sa-
vannah Jolley was 39th at
26:17.36.
“That could be the best
time of Caitlyn’s career,”
the coach said. “She looked
different. She had a good
stride. The whole girls team
all ran above what they usu-
ally run.”
Lovell finished fourth
Friday with 98 points, be-
hind Cody (31), Worland
(54) and Powell (63) and
ahead of Rocky Mountain
(116).
BOYS RACE
The Lovell boys didn’t
make the same kind of
strides as the girls did but
had some solid performanc-
es, Sanders said. He named
freshman Hunter Steenbak-
kers as the male athlete of
the week for his continued
improvement. Steenbakkers
placed 32nd with a time of
20:50.16.
“He’s just steadily
dropped his time,” Sanders
said. “He seemed to have a
little more grit and was run-
ning more aggressively. He
ran around 25 minutes in
Cody (first meet of the sea-
son) and has progressively
gotten better.”
Senior Jacob Newman
was Lovell’s top finisher,
placing fifth with a time of
17:27.80, which Sanders
said was a good time but
could be better.
“Mentally, he could be
stronger down the stretch,”
Sanders said. “He showed
it in Worland. I want to see
if he can have a little more
mental strength at the end
of the season.”
Sophomore Brent Sny-
der placed 13th with a time
of 18:42.38.
“Brent is coming on,”
Sanders said. “He’s been in a
little slump but he’s coming
out of it. He looked better.”
Sophomore Ben Cornia
finished 29th at 20:28.95,
sophomore Kyle Wolvington
30th at 20:34.15.
“That was Ben’s best
5K time,” Sanders said.
“I’m still challenging Ben
and Kyle to be under 20
minutes.”
Freshman Brenden
Lundberg finished 38th with
a time of 22:15.73, junior
Kyle Burton 44th at 25:08.72
and freshman JR Dickson
46th at 35:12.55.
Lovell placed fourth in
the boys division at Pow-
ell with 93 points, just five
points behind third-place
Powell with 88. Cody won
the meet with 25 points fol-
lowed by Worland with 48
points. Rocky was fifth with
112 points.
REGIONALS IN LANDER
The Lovell harriers will
be off to Lander Friday for
the Class 3A West Cross
Country Meet featuring
Lovell, Powell, Cody, Land-
er, Jackson, Star Valley and
Mountain View.
Running begins at 1 p.m.
with the girls race, Sanders
said. He noted that he wants
to run more aggressively at
Regionals this year to ramp
up for State the following
week in Sheridan.
“1 want to use it as a
springboard for State and
see if we can produce better
results,” he said. “It will be
fun. It’s a challenging course
with a massive hill on it.”
