From all-around efforts in the pentathlon to exciting distance races, the Fayetteville-Manlius track and field teams were at the center of the main activity during last Friday’s Oneida Invitational.

And when the action was done, the Hornets had won both team titles, getting 128 points on the girls side, double the total of runner-up Christian Brothers Academy (64 points) as Jamesville-DeWitt, with 56.5 points, got to third place. The exact same thing happened in the boys meet, where F-M had 80 points and the runner-up, Carthage, had 40 points.

F-M saw its top all-around girls athlete, Christabel Ezidiegwu, nab the top spot in the five-event pentathlon, earning 2,627 points to beat out Solvay’s Katie Harrington (2,549 points) and the field. Ezidiegwu won two events (100 hurdles, long jump) and was second in two others.

Sophia Ryan held off Hamilton star Sage Hurta by half a second, 10:06.17 to 10:06.67, in the 3,000-meter run, with Samantha Levy third in 10:14.77 and J-D’s Hannah Butler fourth in 10:21.87.

Olivia Ryan won the 800-meter run in 2:15.82, ahead of the Red Rams’ Rachel Fairbanks (second, 2:23.34) and Sophia Vinciquerra (fifth, 2:30.26). Ryan’s teammate, Jessica Howe (2:26.90), was fourth.

In a 1-2 finish in the 1,500-meter run, Annika Avery prevailed in 4:48.05, pulling away from seventh-grader Phoebe White, who was second in 4:58.14.

Avery, paired with Reilly Madsen and the Ryan sisters, went 9:59.14 in the 4×800 relay, winning big as J-D’s quartet of Vinciquerra, Butler, Megan Brown and Kim Walsh took second in 10:30.27. They also went 1-2 in the 4×400, with Anna Perrotti and Sarah Olick-Sutphen joining the Ryans to win in 4:06.82 and Fairbanks, Alexandria Payne, Elena Haarer and Casey Keane second in 4:08.55.

Gwenn Shepardson got yet another victory in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:08.48 over Carthage’s Bryanna Gagnon (1:09.74). Shepardson also was second in the 100-meter hurdles in 16.86 seconds.

CBA sprint star Anna Schug won the 100-meter dash in 12.79 seconds, with Payne second in 13 seconds flat and the Hornets’ Sarah Olick-Sutphen (13.25 seconds) in third. But Payne did win the high jump, clearing 4’10” as the Brothers’ Nafysa Ferguson (4’8”) was fourth.

Schug (26.30 seconds) and Kiana Ferguson (26.75 seconds) would go 1-2 in the 200-meter dash and, to top off their day, team with Kate Fletcher and Anna Langlois in the 4×100, where CBA won in 51.96 seconds and Olick-Sutphen, Shepardson, Perrotti and Shauna Cheatham were second (52.31 seconds).

Ferguson also got second place in the long jump with a leap of 16’ ½”, while her teammate, freshman Ellisa Kempisty, went 32’8” in the triple jump and had her own second-place effort.

Haarer was second (1:01.58) to Remsen’s Alycia Atwell-Chwazik (1:00.86) in the 400-meter dash, with CBA’s Kate LaCasse third in 1:02.53. The Hornets’ Savannah Pidkaminy cleared 9 feet in the pole vault to take second place after a fifth-place discus throw of 88’4”. F-M’s Brittany Travis took second place in the shot put with a throw of 32’1” as J-D’s Mariah Williams was seventh.

During the boys 3,200-meter run, F-M star Bryce Millar and Carthage sophomore Noah Affolder nearly hit the line together. Millar posted 9:03.96, but Affolder, with a 9:03.89, beat him and set a New York State sophomore record for that distance. Affolder also won the mile in 4:23.46, where Adam Hunt (4:31.36) beat out Patrick Perry (4:31.81) for third place.

To counter that, F-M went 1-2 in the 800, where Kyle Barber won in a blazing 1:54.27 and Jon Abbott was second in 1:58.73. Also, in the 4×800, Barber, Millar, Abbott and Hamza El Habbal got a victory in 8:17.83, nearly 22 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

El Habbal won on his own in the 400-meter dash, going 51.90 seconds to top Hamilton’s Ryan Tuttle (52.19 seconds) and the field. Parker Noble, Ed Cheatham, Conner Florczyk and Christian Bagabo were second (45.88 seconds) to Mexico (45.36 seconds) in the 4×100 relay. Cheathem, Barber, El Habbal and Millar were second (3:30.96) to Homer (3:28.68) in the 4×400.
