MIDDLEBURY — Winning performances by Tiger junior sprinter Jazmyn Hurley and one Tiger and two Vergennes relay teams highlighted local high school teams’ efforts at a Wednesday, May 15, track and field meet the Middlebury Union team hosted at Middlebury College.
Five schools sent teams, and the Division I Champlain Valley boys and girls both took top honors.
Hurley cruised to victory in both the girls’ 100- and 200-meter races, while her teammates Alixis Williams, Sawyer Witscher, Navah Glikman and Solstice Binder prevailed in the girls’ four-by-100-meter relay.
The Commodore boys’ 4X800 team of Calvin Gramling, Riley Gagnon, Grey Fearon and Calder Rakowski bolted to victory, as did the VUHS girls’ 4X400 group of Jing Williams, Tryphene Miguel, Ava Francis and Isabelle Van Voorst.
