MT. ORAB — Led by meet MVP Carter Huffman, the Wilmington High School boys track and field team ran away with the top spot Monday at the Western Brown Invitational.
The Hurricane had 191 points while runnerup Western Brown had 117. Blanchester was 10th.
The best finish for the Wildcats was Kellen Staehling’s fifth place effort in the shot put (38-10.5).
Huffman won the 200-meter dash and long jump while finishing second in the 100-meter dash.
The Hurricane had several event winners.
Brett Brooks posted another double, taking the shot put (47-0) and the discus (137-8).
Brady Vilvens won the high jump (5-10), Josh Andrews hit the line first in the 800, the 4×200, 4×100 and 4×400 relays all were first.
With the junior high invitational being held at the same time, WHS coach Chris Reynolds said the varsity victory was more gratifying.
“It was a great meet with the junior high to see the talent coming in a few years and for them to witness a track team they want to be a part of in the future,” he said.
The coach noted the return to health of Trevor Billingsley and his contributions in two relays.
“Trevor is finally healthy and made the lineup for the first time this year and was a major contributor to the 4×800 and 4×400,” said Reynolds. “I’m excited to inject him into the lineup to add depth to our distance team.”
