Primero Bulldogs Compete at Banana Belt Classic in Pueblo Early Season

Alyvia Robinson took Lane 1 at Dutch Clark Stadium in Pueblo on March 14, representing the Primero Bulldogs at the Banana Belt Classic alongside competitors from across Colorado. She was seeded at 19.57 in Section 5 of 7, a heat that also included athletes from Doherty, Regis Groff, Pueblo Centennial, The Classical Academy, and Palmer Ridge high schools, with seed times in that section ranging from 18.32 to 19.57.

The Banana Belt Classic draws programs from throughout the state for early-season competition, and the field Robinson entered reflected that range. Section 5's fastest seed belonged to Tatum Wilson of The Classical Academy at 18.32, while three Palmer Ridge athletes, Natalie Pulford (18.79), Adiana McKenzie (19.12), and Kalyn Douglas (19.34), filled three of the remaining lanes.

Sections seeded above and below Robinson's heat illustrated the breadth of the meet. Section 4 featured athletes seeded between 19.62 and 21.41, including Paisley Sanroman of neighboring Hoehne High School, seeded at 21.41, and Evelyn Estrada of La Junta, seeded at 20.70. Section 7, the fastest of the three excerpted heats, included Alexa Queen of Fountain-Fort Carson with a seed of 13.99 and Reagan Falletta of Pueblo East at 14.42.

The results excerpts available from the meet show seed times and lane assignments for three sections; they do not include final race times, event labels, or finishing placements. The event name for the sections, whether 100 meters, 200 meters, or another sprint, was not specified in the available lineup data.
