Yesterday, the BUHS Girls and Boys Track & Field teams competed against California City High School, with Mojave High School also in attendance. It was a windy day in Cal City, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph. While some performances were up and down due to the conditions—our Boys 4×1 team struggled with a handoff and our two standout discus throwers had trouble finding their rhythm—there were still some exciting highlights:

• Freshman Embry Aguilera tied the BUHS Girls Freshman High Jump record at 4’6”.
• Sophomore Dacia Clark set a new BUHS Sophomore Girls High Jump record at 5’0”.
• Junior Riley Van Nest tied the BUHS Junior Girls High Jump record at 4’4”.
• Dacia Clark is now just 2 inches away from tying the 1978 Girls High Jump school record set by Margaret Mullens.

Team Results:

• BUHS Boys defeated CHS Boys: 61.5 to 43.5
• BUHS Girls defeated CHS Girls: 63 to 51

We were originally scheduled to attend the Carson City Invite this Saturday, April 26, but due to weather concerns, we won’t be making the trip as a full team. That said, a few of our athletes will still be competing—I’ll keep everyone updated with their results.

Our next full team meet—and our final dual of the season—will be Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at home against Desert and Boron, with Mojave also attending.

Attached are some great photos from Wednesday’s meet at Cal City, featuring our high jumpers who tied or broke class records:
