PROVO — Jackson Egbert was smiling wide, and not just because of the gold medal around his neck after winning the 300-meter hurdles on the final day of the 5A state track and field meet.

His smile, instead, wafted over to the gold draped around the neck of the person next to him as they posed for photos atop the podium: his younger sister Abby.

Jackson Egbert held on for a win in 37.88 seconds, and freshman Abby Egbert added her own first-place finish in 44.25 seconds Saturday at the Robison Track and Field Complex at BYU.

"It's crazy," Jackson Egbert said. "We're going to have some good laughs over this at dinner tonight. My little sister is awesome; I'm so happy for her.

"This is the first sport we've been able to play together, which is cool. And she's going to be better than me; I'll tell you that. She's going to kill it."

Added Abby: "It feels awesome. I can't even — It just feels great."

Jackson, who will next serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil after high school, held off teammate Logan Jensen for his first state title.

"He was in my head," Jackson Egbert said of Jensen. "I just had to finish the race."

Truthfully, the brother-sister duo have a lot in common. They train together every day in the hurdles, which Jackson has loved as a senior and Abby has appreciated as a freshman.

"I've loved it," Abby said. "He pushes me to work hard, and if I lay down in a workout or try to leave early, he'll tell me to get up, to keep going.

"I'm so glad I could run with it, because I won't be able to in high school again."

Orem's boys won the team title with 168 points, finishing the first day with a big lead and rolling to the Tigers' second-straight title over second-place Lehi (152.5). Box Elder (111.5), Mountain View (95) and Timpview (70) rounded out the top five.

In the 5A girls meet, Sarena Mackley won the 100-meter hurdles in 14.98 seconds, and Box Elder took a nearly 30-point lead at the start of the second day and never looked back en route to 79.5 points and the Bees' second title in five seasons. Timpanogos (58), Lehi (52), Mountain View (42) and Timpview (40) rounded out the top five.
