KAYSVILLE -- Brad Nye is the mile guy. After rocketing to high school track fame by winning the New Balance Indoor National mile in March, and then proving he has outdoor chops by winning the Arcadia mile in 4:08.8, Nye recorded a blistering 1,600 Friday at the Davis High School Invitational to topple the school record, the meet record, and the state 5-A record. His time of 4:09.67 narrowly missed the overall state mile record of 4:09.28 and lowered the 5-A record by roughly 4 seconds.

OREM -- Weber State's men and women outdoor track and field teams took advantage of some great spring time weather to post solid early season times and marks at the Utah Valley University Invitational, Friday in Orem.

Coach Dan Walker's men posted 10 qualifying times/marks for the 2012 Big Sky Conference outdoor track and field championships. Zach Parry qualified in both the shot put (52-03.25) and hammer throw (188-90.75) to lead the way.

"We had a really nice performance today," said Walker. "A lot of our athletes were competing for the first time because of the rain-out two weeks ago in San Diego. The extra two weeks of practice paid off today. We had three great times in the 400 meters and two in the 400 meter hurdles, and both relay teams took advantage of the good weather to put up some good times."

OGDEN -- After suffering their first defeat in region play to start the season Tuesday afternoon, the Ogden Tigers got back on track by defeating crosstown rivals Ben Lomond 8-0 Thursday afternoon thanks to a couple of big innings at the plate.

"I was proud of the way that we responded after what happened earlier this week," Ogden coach Troy Kolan said. "Joe (Bischoff) pitched a great game and kept them off-balance with his curveball today. We had some key hits from Hunter (Anderson) and Kameron Laird and that made all the difference."

Both pitchers threw the ball extremely well in the beginning as Bischoff and Ben Lomond's Alex Craft each threw three scoreless innings. Those three innings lasted a grand total of 30 minutes as each team was cruising defensively.
