SYRACUSE – Post-season competition is underway for the Baldwinsville indoor track and field teams with plenty still to accomplish, especially after what took place in Friday night’s Salt City Athletic Conference Metro division championships at SRC Arena.
The boys Bees, owners of several meet victories this winter, picked up 100 points, but that meant a second-place finish as Cicero-North Syracuse took the title with 111 points and also won the girls SCAC Metro meet where B’ville, with 76 points, edged Fayetteville-Manilus (75) for third.
All of the B’ville boys victories came in field events where senior Owen Johnson featured in the pole vault. Clearing 13 feet, Johnson was two feet ahead of any of C-NS’s Colin Daley (11 feet) as Andrew Fry topped 9 feet for fourth place.
Cam Davis dominated the weight throw, his heave of 56 feet 6 3/4 inches lapping a field where no one else topped 50 feet. Davis also was fifth in the shot put with 36’7 1/4″ just ahead of Bryce Muthumbi (35’5 1/4″) in seventh place as Ade Olayisade got 10th place in the weight throw.
Kayden Gilbert won the high jump, clearing 5’10” with fewer misses than Auburn’s Amari Ross at that same height. London Premo contended in the long jump claiming second place with a leap of 19’11 1/2″, with Arthur Bullock seventh going 17’9 1/2″.

In the 4×400 the Bees had Decker, Rex Kirkegaard, Chris Zellar and George Bauer go 3:33.04, a close second to West Genesee’s 3:31.81. This was before Decker, in the 600-meter run, got second place in 1:28.79, with Kirkegaard fourth in 1:31.20 as Zellar was fourth in the 300-meter dash in 38.16 seconds beating out Matt Niedzialek’s fifth-place 39.22 and Bauer’s eighth-place 39.63.

Leading the B’ville girls effort, the 4×400 relay team of Kamryn Barton, Amerie Williams, Emerson Clavijo and Aaniya Johnson pulled away from the field, going 4:05.26 exactly 10 seconds ahead of C-NS’s 4:15.26.

Barton finished third in the 600 in 1:42.41, with Emmy Buchanan (1:43.99) in sixth place. Running again in the 300, Barton claimed fourth place in 43.50, Johnson taking seventh (44.49) and Clavijo eighth in 44.95.
