Eagle boys’, Tiger girls’ teams second at local track & field meet
MIDDLEBURY — U-32 swept both the boys’ and girls’ team competitions at a track and field meet hosted by Middlebury Union High School at Middlebury College on Thursday, May 19.
The Mount Abraham boys were a strong second, and the Tiger girls were also runners up in an event that drew eight teams.
The Eagle boys claimed five individual events. Gavin Bannister dominated the hurdling races, Joseph Darling won both the long and triple jumps, and Tristan Parker prevailed in the javelin.
Highlights for the fifth-place Tiger boys were a second-place effort by Joshua Kafumbe in the long jump, two placings by Baxter Harrington in distance events, and two seconds in relays.
Vergennes was last, but Ryder Messinger took third at 400 meters, and the Commodore four-by-800-meter relay team placed second.
The boys’ team scores were U-32, 169; Mt. Abe, 138.5; Fair Haven, 132.5; Colchester, 71.5; MUHS, 56; Enosburg, 46.5; and VUHS, 15.
U-32 amassed 237 points for a big victory on the girls’ side. The Tigers outpaced the rest of the field at 119. Fair Haven (64.5) was third, edging the fourth-place Eagles (63). They were followed by Colchester (59), Enosburg (42) and Milton (34.5).
North Branch ninth-grader Estella Laird scored 20 points on her own by winning the girls’ 1,500 and 3,000.
The Tiger girls’ earned three first places. Jazmyn Hurley edged teammate Hannah Turner to win at 400 meters, both helped the Tigers win the 4X400 relay, and Turner anchored the MUHS victory in the 4X800 relay. Zoe Noble placed well in both hurdling races.
The Eagle girls’ placed in two relays, received third-place efforts from Lauren Cousino in the 800 and Olivia Devino in the pole vault, and earned top-eight scoring efforts from a number of other athletes.
