Gram, Perez pace Ignacio in Bloomfield

Cundiff also scores big in discus
Azala Perez powers through the 100 meter dash on Friday for Ignacio, placing sixth in the race.

Still accelerating halfway through his 400-meter dash while numerous competitors who'd joined him in running the 200 were virtually red-lining, Ignacio senior Bryan Gram raced around Curtis Clement Memorial Track to place second in 54.57 seconds. The was the Bobcat team's best individual result at the 2017 Bloomfield Quad.

Gram also finished a decent 11th (25.26) in the 200 meters. Overall, the senior sprinter earned five of the team's 14 points scored at the meet.

Natoni Cundiff placed a non-scoring ninth in the shot put (38'8"), but secured four team points in the discus with his third-place max of 122'4".

Also a near-miss in the 300-meter hurdles with his ninth-fastest 50.08, Jonas Nanaeto ran a leg on the Bobcats' sixth-place 4x100 relay (50.46). That earned Ignacio one point, and the 4x2 (also including Nanaeto) would score four with a fourth-place 1:53.80.

On the girls' side, senior Azala Perez earned Ignacio's lone team point with her sixth-place 13.69 in the 100. But a few other efforts inside Bobcat Stadium came close, including senior Lea Monroe's 6'0" pole vault which tied her for seventh and trailed the scoring 6'6" of Bayfield's Miranda Talbot.

Perez was eighth in the 200 (28.92) and Jaylynn Herrera was 10th (29.65) after placing 23rd in the 100 (14.52). Herrera also placed 10th in the long jump (13'5.75"), and in a specialty featured in New Mexico, took eighth in the javelin with a 70-foot, 6-inch throw.
