PROVO — Only a few dozen medals were awarded, but multiple state records weren’t safe on the first day of the 5A and 6A state track and field meet at BYU’s Clarence F. Robison Track Complex.

Timpview star Jane Hedengren broke her own state record in the 5A girls’ 3,200-meter run in 9 minutes, 48.73 seconds, while Mountain Ridge’s Kinzlee Riddle tied the state record in a 6A girls’ 200-meter qualifying heat in 23.30 seconds.

It’s one of several rewritten records by Hedengren, who held the previous state record set last year in 9:52.96. The senior who has signed with BYU also holds state records in the 800 meters (2:05.96), 1,600 meters (4:32.61), and was part of the 5A-record relay teams in the 4×400 and 4×800-meter squads set last year en route to winning Ms. Track honors by the Deseret News.

“It’s bittersweet being (the last 3,200) with this team,” Hedengren said after the race. “I’m kind of sad it’s the last one, but I’m really excited to get to do it with these ladies today.”

The previous Ms. Track honoree, Fremont’s Amare Harlan who currently runs and jumps for Michigan, also saw her state record time of 23.30 in the 200 tied in Thursday’s 6A girls’ qualifying heat. Riddle, who also ran the fastest qualifying time in the 100 meters in 11.81 and second-fastest in the 400 in 56.17, will have a shot at the record in Saturday’s final — as well as the state 400 record held by Provo’s Meghan Hunter (52.59).

Riddle set the 6A record in the event earlier this month when she ran a 53.01 at the PACS BYU Invitational back on May 2.

American Fork leads the 6A boys’ meet with 50 points, ahead of Herriman (41), Lone Peak (26) and defending champion Corner Canyon (25). Maple Mountain and Viewmont are tied atop the 5A boys’ leaderboard with 33 points, just two ahead of Springville and three more than Woods Cross.

The Vikings got a boost from Hayden Arbuckle, who won the 5A 3,200-meter race 9:07.86 before setting a new 5A record in the 4×800-meter relay with teammates Talmage Bruschke, Ben Hyde and Bryce Arbuckle in 7:42.55.

The Cavemen also lead the 6A girls’ meet by a tighter margin, 34.5 to 31 over second-place Riverton, with Herriman (30), Lone Peak (28) and Layton (23) just behind.

Two-time defending champion Timpview is two points behind Spanish Fork in the 5A girls’ meet with 30 points, ahead of Cedar Valley (18.5) and Box Elder (16).

EUGENE, Ore. – First-year Brown track and field athlete Giana DeCesare qualified for the USATF U-20 National Championships in Eugene, Oregon. She will compete in the hammer throw event on Thursday, June 19 at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST).

DeCesare had an instant impact in her first season with the Bears. She competed at four outdoor meets, setting her best mark of 52.98 meters at Ivy League Heps. She finished seventh at Heps and surpassed the automatic qualifying mark of 52.50 meters for the U-20 Nationals.

“Giana had a successful first-year campaign in the hammer throw as she improved her personal best several times,” said Associate Head Coaching Chair for Throwing Events Darcy Wilson. “This hard work culminated in a successful U20 qualifying mark, as this is any young thrower’s goal. I am especially proud that Giana is representing Brown at this national level.”

Before arriving at Brown, DeCesare was a two-time USATF Junior Olympics All-American in the hammer throw. She’ll look to add to her resume and represent Brown well on Thursday.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary volleyball bolstered its roster this week following the signing of graduate transfer Beatriz Silva.

Silva comes to the Tribe after a two-year stint at UC Riverside where she led the Highlanders in assists in consecutive years. As a senior in 2024, she played in 76 sets as the team’s setter, averaging 5.04 assists per set.

“It became apparent in our first conversation that [Silva] will bring a level of vast experience to our amazing group of setters,” said head coach Ryan Adams.

Silva racked up 616 helpers as a junior in 2023. The Redlands, Calif. native posted a 6.35 per-set average that ranked eighth in the Big West Conference that season.

Prior to UC Riverside, Silva spent two years at Pasadena City College where she was a First Team All-South Coast Conference selection, helping lead Pasadena to an undefeated 18-0 league record and SCC Championship in 2021.

Silva’s addition gives W&M four setters for the 2025 squad. She joins a pair of sophomore returners in Cate Hatfield and Madison Monahan, along with incoming freshman Shylah Swope.

The Louisiana Board of Ethics filed charges against two Lafayette volleyball coaches, arguing they asked high school players to enroll in a private league at a gym where they worked over the summer.

The board determined Julia Dawson and Erin Belsom violated Louisiana ethics law when they asked their students on the Southside High volleyball team to enroll and pay for summer training and competition at the private gym they worked at. Dawson also is accused of using her position to coerce students to join the league.

The ethics board, which brought the charges in January but didn’t publish its determination until May, referred the matter to the Louisiana Division of Administrative Law, a centralized administrative hearing panel that will determine whether a violation occurred and can levy penalties if so.

Alesia Ardoin, an attorney with Sexton Law representing both coaches, said that the charges were “baseless” and state law recently changed, making it possible for educators to receive compensation from students when they serve as tutors or coaches.

“We will continue to fight these charges and we’re certain the adjudication board will dismiss this because the charges are wholly without merit,” Ardoin told The Acadiana Advocate.

The ethics board charges stemmed from a 2021 incident, according to the documents released by the board. At the time, Dawson and Belsom were volleyball coaches at Southside High School. Belsom has since transferred to a different school.

Dawson and Belsom also are coaches for Louisiana Volleyball Lafayette, or LVL, a private gym that offers indoor and beach volleyball programs, training and has club teams. Dawson is a co-owner, co-director, program coordinator and master coach of the gym and Belsom is the recreational coordinator and beach volleyball director.

In May 2021, Dawson emailed parents of the students who made the volleyball team for the 2021-2022 school year, according to ethics board documents. The email laid out summer expectations, which included participating in a beach volleyball league on Fridays in June and July of 2021.

The cost of the league was $150 per team, which could have up to three players, according to the documents. Parents registered and paid through the LVL website.

Dawson, who is paid by LVL as a 12-month salaried employee, received $15,000 from LVL in 2021. Belsom was paid $25 per hour for her work as the summer beach volleyball director received about $2,000 in 2021 and $2,500 in 2022 from LVL.

The ethics board determined that as public employees with the school district, both Dawson and Belsom violated state ethics laws when they were paid for providing volleyball training and overseeing competition for interested players. The ethics board additionally alleged that Dawson compelled or coerced students to join the LVL league.

A hearing before the adjudication board has been set for Nov. 13 for Dawson and Belsom.

A spokesperson for the Lafayette Parish School System said the district would not comment while the matter was being adjudicated.
