BLANCHESTER — Gabriel Staehling set a boys discus record and the Blanchester girls track and field team finished first at the Blanchester Invitational Friday night at Barbour Memorial Field.
Blanchester won five events. The 4×400-meter relay team went 5:37.62 to finish first. Individually, Chloe Paulson won the 400-meter dash in 1:08.86, Shelbie Panetta won the shot put with a best effort of 30-9, Ainsley Whitaker won the discus with a throw of 102-0, and Jaida Jones won the long jump with a leap of 14-4.
Molly Seabaugh won two of the three events for East Clinton. The Astros started the meet with a win in the 4×800-meter relay in 12:06 then Seabaugh won the 800-meter run in 2:29.95 then came back to win the 3,200-meter run in 13:14.19.
In the boys meet, Clermont Northeastern was first and Blanchester second. CJ Boothby of CNE won the 110-meter hurdles, the 200-meter dash and the long jump.
Staehling hit 153-10 to win the discus easily over teammate Chasen Allison. Staehling’s effort eclipses one of the longest standing track and field records in county history. The late Joe Kratzer had the previous best discus throw at 151-7 set in 1977. Kratzer was inducted into the Clinton County Sports Hall of Fame in 2009.
