BRISTOL — The host Mount Abraham Union High School earned solid victories on Tuesday in both the girls’ and boys’ sides in a three-team track and field meet attended by Vergennes and smaller Randolph contingent.

The Eagle boys prevailed with 185.9 points, followed by VUHS with 114 and Randolph with 83.5.

The Eagle girls’ team rolled with 182 points, followed by VUHS with 134 and Randolph with just four.

Middlebury had been scheduled to attend, but opted not to.

The Eagle boys won seven events, four of them by Truman Sawyer — one hurdling and all three jumping events.

The Commodores placed in a number of events, but won only two: Grey Fearon claimed the 400-meter race, and teammate Caleb Hatch prevailed at 1,500 meters.

For the small Randolph contingent, George Rosalbo won two boys’ sprinting events, and Zane Cooper swept the boys’ throws to account for most, if not all, the Ghosts’ points.

On the girls’ side overall the Eagles built their winning margin in the field events, winning eight of 11 events held off the track. Meanwhile the Commodores more than held their own in footraces, winning four of seven.

Nola Roberts and Hazel Stoddard paced the Eagle girls with two wins each. The Mount Abe girls were balanced, with six athletes winning at least one event.
