A couple more local school records were broken Saturday as the Colorado state high school track and field championships came to a close at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood.<\/p>\n

Aspen High School junior Julisa Ruiz-Vega had the best result of the day by finishing seventh in the girls 100-meter dash. Her time of 12.70 seconds just edged her previous best and is a new school record, according to AHS track coach James Aldridge.<\/p>\n

Avery Wright of Montezuma-Cortez won the race with a time of 12.36 seconds.<\/p>\n

The only other athlete competing for Aspen on Saturday was senior Nicholas Galambos, who finished 16th in the boys 1,600-meter run in 4 minutes, 46.96 seconds, which was about 11 seconds slower than his qualifying time.<\/p>\n

Yasin Sado of Denver West won the boys mile in 4:20.64.<\/p>\n

Basalt High School sophomore Sierra Bower competed in the girls 1,600-meter run Saturday, taking eighth in 5:12.58. That time was a personal best for Bower by about two seconds, breaking her own school record.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Bower took second in the girls 3,200-meter run, losing in a sprint finish while also breaking her own school record mark. She was also part of the girls 4\u00d7800-meter relay that broke that school record on Thursday, finishing fifth. That relay included senior Megan Maley, senior Maddie Ellison and junior Lily Gillis.<\/p>\n

BHS junior Ben Williams was the other athlete to compete Saturday, finishing ninth in the 110-meter hurdles. His time of 16 seconds flat broke his own personal record by .16 seconds.<\/p>\n
