Scott Joseph was able to get familiar with Moose Jaw's Gutheridge Field on Saturday. The Swift Current Comprehensive High School athlete put on a show during the Moose Jaw Invitational high school track-and-field meet, picking up four gold medals and a record throughout the day.

"I'm happy with my performance," said Joseph. "I was hoping to have a better start to my races but I finished strong, now I know that I need a lot of work in practice."

There were 436 athletes from 29 schools around the province in Moose Jaw for the annual meet on Saturday. Swift Current's track team led the medal standings with 24 gold and 63 medals, while Peacock (43), Vanier (39) and Central (25) were second, third and fourth, respectively.

Joseph won gold in the senior boys' 100-metre with a time of 11.12 seconds, he also took top spot in the 200-metre dash with a time of 22.51 seconds in the final.

In long jump, Joseph came close to a record with a best jump of 6.24 metres. He would get the record in triple jump, soaring 13.45 metres to break the record of 13.31 metres that was set last year by Assiniboia's Logan Fettes.

"It felt pretty good, it's still not the result that I wanted but I'm happy with it," said Joseph, who has a personal best jump of 14.64m.

Joseph will no doubt be one of the athletes competing in Moose Jaw next month for the SHSAA track-and-field provincial championship, so getting a lay of the land on Saturday will pay dividends down the road this season.

Joseph said that getting a meet in at Gutheridge Field before provincials could be huge, "You need to know the feel of the track, the sand and the runways too, so this will help," he said.

Joining those four podium finishes for Joseph, 87 more top-three placements were earned by individual athletes and relay teams from around the southwest.

Athletes from around the region also broke two more meet records, tying another as well.
