MT Panthers win McClain Invitational

0

GREENFIELD — The rains ended and the sun emerged to shine down on the McClain Bob Bergstrom Invitational Friday, April 26 at McClain High School.

The Miami Trace Panthers won the boys’ meet with 155.5 points, outlasting second place Hillsboro (150).

McClain took third (110) and Paint Valley was fourth with 71.5.

Washington was fifth with 65, followed by Adena (62), Circleville, 54 and Chillicothe (11).

It was, in effect, a Frontier Athletic Conference meet, minus the Jackson Ironmen.

On the girls’ side, Circleville edged Hillsboro, 118 to 114.5.

Miami Trace was third with 106 team points, followed by Washington with 101 and McClain with 100.5 in a tightly-contest meet.

Adena was sixth with 81.5 points, followed by Paint Valley with 38 and Chillicothe with 36.5.

The meet also marked the season-debut of Washington junior Rayana Burns, after she suffered an injury in the Division II District championship basketball game on Feb. 27. She competed in the shot put and placed fifth with a throw of 27’ 9 1/2”. She was second in the 400-meter run in 1:04.91.

“Both (of our) teams had a great night at the McClain Invitational,” Miami Trace head coach Brent Noes said. “The boys held on to a first place finish while the girls had a strong third place finish.”

The girls and boys meet medalist both came from Miami Trace.

Macy Creamer was the medalist (most points scored) on the girls side with 38 points on the night and Wyatt Cory was the medalist for the second invitational in a row for the boys also with 38 points.

“We were also excited to compete in the triple jump at this meet,” Noes said. “The triple jump is normally not a contested event. All four of our athletes placed, with only having a day of practice.

“This is the second invitational in a row where the boys have finished first, and as weird as it sounds, there is still room for improvement,” Noes said. “We had several key mistakes Friday night that we need to get cleaned up before the FAC meet. That’s what we will be focusing on this week.

“I was very proud of our girls efforts,” Noes said. “They have had to really battle some adversity with some of their teammates being out. It has been a crazy year with non-track related injuries that have caused some girls to not be able to participate lately. We weren’t able to run anyone in the 800 and only ran one in the 1600 and one in the 3200. With some of our starters out, it has required some of the younger athletes to really step up and they have definitely risen to the challenge.

“We look forward to continuing to prepare for the MT Invitational this Thursday (at 4:30 p.m.) and the FAC the following week (May 7 and 9 at Chillicothe).”

The Miami Trace boys won six events at the meet.

The Panthers won the 4 x 800-meter relay in a time of 9:01.16. Those runners were: Henry DeBruin, Caleb Brannigan, Simon DeBruin and Jotham Lewis.

Wyatt Cory won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.46. Cory also won the 400-meter dash in 55.17 and the pole vault, clearing the bar at 14’ 1/4”. He was second in the high jump at 5’ 8”.
