XENIA — The Miami Trace High School track teams competed in the Xenia Invitational Friday, April 13.

Nine school took part in the meet.

Miami Trace placed fifth in the girls meet and sixth in the boys competition.

Troy was fifth with 67.5 points, followed by Miami Trace with 47 points.

Troy cruised to the title on the girls’ side with 185 points.

Trotwood Madison was second with 92 points and Fairmont placed third with 91 points.

Northmont was fourth with 60 points and Miami Trace was fifth with 50 points.

“I very pleased with the effort of the boys and girls track and field teams at the Xenia Invitational,” Miami Trace head coach Brent Noes said. “I was really excited to see some athletes step up in the absence of some of our veteran athletes. We were missing some of our key competitors on both sides due to commitments with the school musical and we still had a respectful finish among the strongest competition we’ve faced to date.

“We don’t get to see this kind speed very often,” Noes said. “There were several Dayton area Division I schools in attendance. We saw a young man from Springfield run a 10.66 in the 100-meter dash. That is faster than the Division I state champ last year.

“Our kids battled and competed like they were supposed to be there. We just hope to continue to build on our successes and continue to get better every day.”

Miami Trace had one second place finish on the girls’ side. Katie Seyfang was second in the discus throw at 127’ 4”.

Seyfang was third in the shot put at 35’ 3 1/2”.

Sayler Preson was third in the pole vault at 8’ 0”.

The 4 x 100-meter relay of Shaylee McDonald, Isabella Vanover, Lilly Litteral and McKenna Wilson was third in a time of 54.5.

Abby Arledge was fourth in the long jump at 14’ 10 1/2”.

Kylie Pettit was fourth in the 1600-meter run in 6:08.

Wes Seyfang won the shot put event with a throw of 48’ 2 1/2”.

Seyfang was second in the discus throw at 142’ 3”.

Wyatt Cory placed third in the pole vault at 9’ 6”.

Cory placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 16.64.

The Panthers are scheduled to compete twice next week in Greenfield.
