COLLEGE NOTEBOOK: Davidson finishes career by breaking USU 1500-meter school record
MAX OSWALD | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 7 months, 1 week AGO
I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | May 19, 2025 5:30 PM
Hannah Davidson, Utah State University Track & Field
A 2018 graduate of Sandpoint High, Hannah broke the Aggies' 1500-meter school record at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which were held Thursday, May 15, through Saturday, May 17, in Clovis, Calif. On day two of the competition, the former 4A (now 5A) state medalist in multiple events ran to a time of 4:23.72 in the preliminary round, a new personal best by over three-and-a-half seconds. The old Utah State record was 4:23.99, which was set in 2018 by Tylee Skinner, a West Jefferson High graduate (Terreton, Idaho). The historic run earned her an automatic bid to the finals, in which she placed 10th with a time of 4:30.30.
All-in-all, Davidson competed in four other meets during her final season at Utah State. She placed seventh out of 55 in the 800-meter run (2:10.82) at the Azusa Pacific University Franson Last Chance meet... first out of 13 in the 1500-meter run (4:32.60) at the Aggie Invitational hosted by USU... 13th out of 163 in the 1500-meter run (4:27.33) at the Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific University... and fifth out of 25 in the 800-meter run (2:15.56) at the Utah Spring Classic hosted by Utah University.
