I’m humbled and honored to be named Boys Coach of the Year for Arizona. This represents the amazing team and coaching staff we have. It truly was a special season, the best boys team we’ve ever had-setting 11 new school records and multiple top performers in the entire state. Thank you to our community, parents, athletes, and coaches!

Ryder Hall, the best track and field athlete in AZ!

06/20/2026

Congrats to Ryder! He placed 4th at Nike Outdoor Nationals (Highschool age) and 10th all together Under 20 (up to college under 20’s). Unfortunately he was having some knee issues he has struggled off and on with all season, but he was still able to have solid marks all the way through and several PR’s! He scored 7097 and he had a disc, javelin, and pole vault PR too. Just getting started. Can’t wait to see what he does when he’s healthy!!

Ryder Hall will be competing in the decathlon at Wayward Field in Eugene, Oregon this Thursday and Friday at the U20’s (under 20)! This is a huge accomplishment. He’ll have a chance to make the National team competing at the World Athletics U20 Championships in August. Go Ryder. We’ll be cheering for you. Here’s a link to follow along. Send him some good luck messages.

Six of our athletes competed at the Great Southwest track meet in Albequerque which is the best of the best from multiple states. Our athletes did really well representing AZ and our community. Ryder Hall won the LJ and TJ with marks close to his PR’s and got third in the HJ. Jayci Ballard won the hepthalon with a new PR, 4510, in an exciting finish. She was in third going into the last event, the 800. She had to beat second place by three seconds to move up a spot and beat first place by 18 seconds to win…she did it! Bryn Kupfer placed 7th. Conover Pitts had a lot of PR’s and placed 5th in a very competitive boys competition. Last year his score of 6023 would have placed 2nd. Seth Lancaster placed 9th. Hailey Jones had three PR’s!! 100m 12.24, slightly wind aided or she would have had a school record. 200m 25.26, 400m 56.94. She also placed 4th in the 300h. So proud of all these kids. They’re just really hard working and amazing in every way.

Our boys took 5th place at the Open State Championship track meet! Pretty incredible. We had a shot to win the whole thing but injuries kept the stars from aligning for us. So proud of our boys team. Ryder Hall won the TJ but had some quad issues after his prelims in the hurdles on Friday which set him back for Saturday. Despite being injured he got 4th in the LJ. He would have certainly won if he were not injured. He wasn’t able to hurdle in finals because of his quad. Despite his injury he powered on to HJ and won with a PB of 6’10! It was beautiful!
Conover Pitts got 5th in the 300h and improved his school record to 38.50. Jacob LaDuke won his preliminary heat on Friday in the 100 and was seeded second for finals but pulled his hamstring in the 200 which he was on track to make the finals in also. Gionn is still recovering from an injury but made it through and he, Seth, Hayydn, and Conover got 5th place in the 4x400. Proud of that scrappy group! So exciting. Cody Potter threw jav and our 4x100 with Otto, Conover, Gionn, and Jacob just missed making finals.
On the girls side we had some disappointments and triumphs too. Jayci Ballard made finals in 100h and 300h (8th in each) with new PR’s in each, the LJ (7th) and 4x400 (9th) Hailey Jones placed 7th in the 300H and set a new school record 43.46. The 4x100 team Emma Brimhall, Rebecca Ballard, Mariah Tingey, and Hailey placed 8th. The 4x400 team of Jayci, Mariah, Bryn, and Hailey got 9th, they set the school record in prelims on Friday 3:55.03. Bryn Kupfer threw jav and HJ also. Ranell threw shot and disc and Mairead threw shot also. It’s been an exceptional season full of highs and lows. Way to go go Lobos. We’re all so proud of you
