Both of Baldwinsville’s track and field teams would make it through last Wednesday’s warm, wind-swept meets with Utica Proctor in various manners.
On the boys end, it proved a close meet, but the Bees still had enough to beat the Raiders 80-61 as, on the girls side, B’ville rolled to a 115-26 win.
Shaun Thompson led the boys Bees with three different titles. He ran the mile in 4:43.4, added a victory in the 3,200-meter run (10:26.2) and, with Ethan Pacheck, Andrew Fleming and Josh Perez, took the 4×800 relay in 9:26.1.
Just as impressive was Mark Stanard’s effort in the discus. Though Proctor won a majority of the field events, Stanard broke that trend, setting a personal record with a throw of 131 feet 5 inches. In the pole vault, Kirk Anderson cleared 8 feet 6 inches for another first-place finish.
Elsewhere, Alec Peinkofer earned first in the 800-meter run in 2:08.6, while Jon Hingre took the 400-meter hurdles in 1:01.7 and Andrew Hoover needed 16.8 seconds to take the 110 high hurdles. Hoover, Pacheck, Alex Malecki and Jeff Mahar tore to victory in the 4×400 relay in 3:39.1.
By contrast, B’ville nearly swept the titles in the girls meet. Sierra Earle prevailed in both the shot put and discus, while Alexis Pateras went 13 feet 5 1/4 inches to take the long jump.
Morgan Marshall was quick in the 400-meter dash, prevailing in 1:03.1, while Mallory Warner earned a victory in the 3,000-meter run in 12:02.5. Lauren Fisher took the pole vault as Gabrielle Jordan needed 13.0 seconds to prevail in the 100.
