    The Pahrump Valley High School track and field team kicked off their competitive season at the Bulldog Invitational on March 1, held at Centennial High School. To compete in the Bulldog Invitational, athletes had to be among the top four in their event at PVHS and must have previously competed in that event. Newcomers, who had not yet participated in a meet, competed the day before in a separate newcomer’s meet. The event consisted mostly of larger 4A and 5A schools, making it a strong test for the Trojans. Despite the stiff competition, PVHS athletes showed up and delivered impressive performances.

    Head Coach Dan Nagle was pleased with the team’s showing, stating, “Our first invitational showed me that we are starting off just how we finished last year, and that is a real good sign!”

    Girls’ Highlights:

    Several Trojan athletes made their mark in sprints and distance events. In the 100m dash, Rosie Miller led the way, finishing 29th out of 61 competitors with a solid time of 13.51, followed by Natalia Vallin at 14.14. Diona Nixon showcased her versatility, placing 37th in the 200m (29.97) and 14th in the 100m hurdles (19.39).

    Julianna Ondrisko had a standout performance in the 400m dash, securing 14th place out of 44 with a time of 1:04.75. Staisha Perry (1:10.51) and Kaylan Robinson (1:15.75) also had strong showings in the event. Alexis Clouser competed in both the 800m and 1600m, finishing 29th and 32nd, respectively.

With continued training and determination, the team looks forward to even greater accomplishments in the weeks ahead.
