ADAMS TOWNSHIP — Clinton-Massie topped the field Tuesday in the Copeland Invitational boys track and field meet at Chick Brown Track.
The Falcons finished with 147 points while runnerup Little Miami had 115; Wilmington was third with 109 and East Clinton sixth with 30.
Nic Hayward of Wilmington won the 110-meter high hurdles and the long jump. He was fourth in the 300-meter hurdles. Hayward also took part in the winning 4×200-meter relay. For his performance, Hayward was named the Chick Brown male athlete of the meet award winner.
The 4×200 team of Hayward, Parker Gunkel, Ryland Bowman and Adam Phelps set a Copeland Invitational record of 1:35.
“The team looks very solid this year and they continue to leave it all on the track at each meet,” said WHS coach Ashley Howard. “We are trying to rebuild the program back up, both in numbers and strength. The road thus far has been rocky, however, we are coming along very well and that is all I could ask for. I have had a couple guys who have stepped up and done an amazing job filling in for teammates who are injured or sick.”
Howard noted the effort of thrower Derek Davis, who ran the first leg of the 4×400-meter relay in 61.4 seconds.
“I was shocked he ran it so well and impressed all at the same time,” she said. “With it being mid-season, we are trying to keep everyone healthy and injury-free and I appreciate any of the guys who fill in to help the team even if it is an event they normally do not run.”
Massie’s Luke Richardson won both the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
Massie won three relays — 4×800, 4×100 and 4×400. Scott Goings won the 300-meter hurdles and Cole O’Bryon won the 400-meter dash.
The 4×100-meter team of Richardson, Scott Goings, Cole O’Bryon and Devon O’Bryon clocked a 44.4 and established a new meet record.
Thomas Wright of East Clinton grabbed a first in the discus.
