Agur Dwol is happy to blame Saturday on the rain.
The Mullen junior was shooting for a girls state record in the triple jump — 41 feet, 3.5 inches — at the final day of 2021 CHSAA state track and field championships when the first of a series of intermittent showers rolled into Jeffco Stadium.
Slick footing and colder temperatures combined to put her goal out of reach.
“I wanted 43 (feet) so bad,” Dwol said after winning her second 4A title in as many tries in the triple jump with a top leap of 40 feet, nine inches. “I got a 41 (feet), four (inches) two weeks ago, so I had higher expectations.”
Dwol also won the 4A long jump earlier in the meet. Her marks in both jumping events were tops among all girls classifications.
Brassfield climbs. With the pandemic canceling the state meet in the spring of 2020, everybody took a different path back to a state title in 2021.
Sterling Brassfield’s road had a detour to Walmart.
“I bought a treadmill at Walmart (last June) and started working,” the Eaglecrest sprinter said after winning the Class 5A 100-meter race Saturday morning. “I got supplements. Fish pills. Different stuff. I started talking to (former) Olympians and just started working.”
Brassifeld edged Cherry Creek’s Ky Oday for the top spot with a time of 10.63. The Eaglecrest speedster wound up sixth at the 2019 outdoor championship with a 10.93 finish.
Photo finish. In the closest race of the day, only one one-hundreth of a second separated Valor Christian’s Camille Peisner from Denver East’s Kyairra Reigh in the 5A 200.
Peisner surged ahead at the start of the stretch run before Reigh slowly reeled her back in, but Reigh was never quite able to close the gap as Peisner won in 23.92 seconds. It was the Stanford commit’s second state title of the day after taking the 100 in the morning.
Reigh won the 400 earlier in the day and anchored the Angels’ title-winning 4-by-100 relay team with Mina Khadem, Elizabeth Johnson and Michelle McDonald.
“It was definitely a mix of nervousness, excitement, sadness, adrenaline and everything in between,” Reigh said of her last high school race.
