When the area’s large-school indoor track and field teams finally met each other for the first time during  last Thursday’s Salt City Athletic Conference Metro division championships at SRC Arena, Baldwinsville proved the strongest of them all.

The boys Bees won the league title by a healthy margin, amassing 163 points as runner-up Cicero-North Syracuse only had 99 points. And the B’ville girls made it to second place with 130 points, trailing only Fayetteville-Manlius (150 points) in the standings.

For its first win on the track, B’ville’s boys had Michael Lawrence, Cole Peters, Evan DaPrano and Greg Porceng take the 4×400 relay in three minutes, 38.76 seconds, more than four seconds ahead of F-M (3:43.57).

Moving to the 4×800 relay, the Bees had Ben Timmons, Sam Kellner, Connor McManus and Adam Davis win a thriller, going 8:30.17 to edge Liverpool (8:30.18) by one-hundredth of a second.

And the Bees’ relay sweep was completed at night’s end in the 4×200 as Peters, DaPrano and Porceng were joined by Kieran Sheridan and B’ville went 1:36.09 to top West Genesee (1:37.80) and the field.

Earning a top-two sweep in the 1,000-meter run, Davis prevailed in 2:38.79, closely followed by McManus (2:40.45) in second place. Sheridan was victorious in the 600-meter run in 1:22.83 as Lawrence got third place in 1:28.12.

Adrianna Straughter won twice, going 8.71 seconds to pull away from Corcoran’s Kiari Hameed (8.98) in the 55 hurdles and then unleashing a top long jump of 17’ 6 ¾”, nearly a foot ahead of the field.

Straughter was second (5’2”) to C-NS’s Liliana Klemanski (5’3”) in the high jump, but in the pole vault B’ville’s Maya Hewitt was the only competitor to clear 7’6”, winning that event.

Anna Miller won the shot put with a toss of 31’4” as Danielle Marsell was fourth with 29’6”. Marsell would rise to second place in the weight throw, heaving it 37’1, a half-inch behind Liverpool’s Trinity Gray (37’1 ½”) as Miller (29’1 ¾”) got fourth place.
