On March 20, teams from all over Utah and even some from Wyoming traveled to Timpanogos High School for the UHSTCA Invitational. The Springville track team also traveled to this huge meet, and they performed very well. The boy’s team placed 7th out of 36 teams, and the girls were 12th. Many athletes performed well at the meet. Joseph Christensen placed sixth in the boy’s mile and the boy’s medley team placed 7th out of 21 teams. Steven Krutsch placed third in the 300 meter hurdles and Hunter Nelson was also sixth in the same event. Joseph Christensen also placed 9th in the 3200 meter run, with Andy Shields just behind him in 13th. Springville boy’s 4x400 relay also placed third out of 16 teams. Steven Krutsch also placed 4th in the high jump for Springville.
On the girls’ side, ChaiDee Woods placed 5th in the 100 meter dash, with Lexi Eaton finishing in 8th place. Springville girls continued their sprint dominance with a win in the 4x100 meter relay. ChaiDee Woods also finished in 4th place in the 200 meter dash, and Aimee Wheeler finished 7th in the long jump. Mindy Stapel rounded out the girls scoring with a 7th place finish in the high jump. Keep up the good work Springville!
Over the past weekend the Springville Girls Softball team played in the Sunshine Tournament. In the first game they battled against Cimarron Memorial, a team whose record the past season was 23-0. Pitcher Aria Agle threw a no hitter with a great defense who backed her up, Brooke Budge fielding a key grounder from short stop. The final score was 2-0, Springville. The next game they played was against Dixie. In the beginning of the game it seemed a bit tight but the Lady Red Devils’ hitting pulled it out, winning 8-1. Nikki Brailsford hit a home run.
The next day the Red Devils played Davis. The game didn’t look good at the start. They were down 5-0, but a rally began. Brittany McCray hit a home run, and the girls began to pull ahead. The score was 6-5 and the Red Devils just had to hold the runner in order to win. Unfortunately, the game was not over yet and the other team scored bringing it to 6-6. With two outs, Brooke Budge came up to bat and hit a solid single. Then Brittany McCray was up to bat. She hit a hard ball out above the right fielder’s head and Brooke Budge was able to score.
The Lone Peak game started well. Kaitlin Erickson hit a hard ball out to right center field and Nikki Brailsford hit her in with a solid ball hit to right field. Defense played well and kept them from scoring. Kaitlin Erickson got on base and scored again. In the last inning the score was 4-0 Springville, but things began to heat up. The first batter was hit and walked, while the next one struck out. The next girl was walked and then an error was committed. Bases loaded, 4-1, then the Red Devils buckled down and got the remaining two outs and won the game! Nikki Brailsford of the Springville Girl’s Softball team said,
“I think we started off really well. The really close games are what you’re going to remember, not the blow outs! I think this is the best we’ve ever played at Sunshine.”
On March 16, the boys and girls track teams traveled to Spanish Fork for their season opening meet against Spanish Fork and Salem Hills. The boys and girls both emerged victorious from the meet, and there were several notable performances. On the boy’s side, Joseph Christensen won the mile, with Andy Shields and Mark Israelsen coming in 3rd and 4th. Hunter Nelson won the 300 meter hurdles with Jeremy Jay coming in 3rd. Daniel Jones led three Springville runners in the top four in the 800 meter run, with Jackson Ogles and Shane Williams placing 3rd and 4th.
Springville also swept the top five spots in the 200 meter dash, with Alema Key winning, and the next spots going to Mitch Kawai, Brandon Curtis, Tanner Nackos, and Aaron Rodriquez. Springville’s 4x400 team won, Brody Swanson placed second in the shot put, and Michael Swasey and Brandon Curtis placed second and third in the javelin. The girls were even more dominant, winning 9 out of the 16 events. Brooke Larson won the 100 and 300 meter hurdles, with three other Springville girls in the top five in the 100 meter hurdles.
The girls also completely dominated the 100 meter dash, sweeping the top 8 places, with Kaisa Rosenberg as the winner. Hannah Lutz and Libby Jensen were 2nd and 3rd in the mile, and the Springville girls won the 4x100 meter relay by more than 5 seconds. The girls also won the medley relay, and swept the top five spots in the 200 meter dash, once again with Kaisa Rosenberg as the champion. Springville continued their relay dominance with a win in the 4x400 by over 20 seconds, and also had the winners in the high jump and long jump. Way to go Red Devils!
The Springville boys soccer team comes out of the first week of their preseason undefeated. They beat both Timpanogos and Orem away, while tying at 2’s to Provo at the “Dawg Pound. “ Raul Delgado leads the team with 2 goals, followed by Austin Allen, Riley White, and Ryan Murray, each with one of their own.
Springville High had great success this year at the Utah State FFA Convention.
For the second consecutive year, one of our very own was selected to serve over 3,000 Utah FFA members; Sierra Henry was chosen to be Utah State FFA Reporter for the 2010-2011 year. This is an elite position; she is very fortunate to have been chosen to serve.
Springville FFA also received recognition for the following:
Five Star Chapter (only given to about 25% of the chapters); Food for America (teaching children about agriculture); and Superior Chapter (the Superior Chapter Award program is designed to award FFA chapters who actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization).
Twelve students received their State FFA Degree - the highest degree given by the state association for the student’s commitment to the FFA and their agriculturally related project. In addition, one former student, Jed Neilsen, was recognized for his American FFA Degree - the highest degree possible in the FFA Organization (he will again be recognized in October at the National FFA Convention).
Christopher Cook also won a proficiency award (scholarship money) for being the most proficient in Utah with his FFA project in Specialty Animal Production. Chris raises honey bees. He will also compete at the regional level this summer.
Thanks to all for your continued support of our students and the FFA program. A big thank you to Mr. John DeGraffenried, SHS Principal, for helping to rally the gang together this week in Cedar City; we had a successful and fun trip!

Friday through Saturday, March 4 – 6, Springville High Drama presented, “Much Ado About Nothin.” The Shakespearian play is set in Messina, Sicily. The story concerns a pair of lovers named Claudio (played by Zach Puckett) and Hero (played by Danielle Root) who are due to be married in a week. To pass the time before their wedding day, they conspire with Don Pedro (played by Nate Oldroyd), the prince of Aragon, to trick their friends, Beatrice (played by Keilani Gleave) and Benedick (played by Ben Nelson), into confessing their love for one another. The prince's illegitimate brother, Don John, however, jealous of both Don Pedro's power and his affection for Claudio, plans to destroy the coming wedding.
Leonato was played by Connor Snyder, Dogberry was played by Scott James, Watches were played by Ashley Knowles and Selea Nielsen, Seacoal was played by Bryce Genther, and Verges was played by Barrett Penrod.
This past weekend , Saturday, March 13, the SHS concert and symphonic bands went to BYU to perform in front of a panel of judges to be rated on how well they played their music.
“I thought that it was pretty good,” stated Ian Jones, trombone of the Symphonic Band, “The first band (Concert Band) was pretty awesome.”
The bands haven’t gotten their scores just yet, but will probably see them during their next band class on B-day.
Congratulations to Calvin Clark (Swim), Rachelle Pope (Swim), Geoffrey Prusak (Basketball), and Megan Conrad (Drill Team) for being named Academic All-state students representing Springville High School. We’re proud of you!
