EATON — Six records were set during the 31st Annual Dean Stoltz Track and Field Invitational on Friday, April 20, at Eaton.

“It was an exciting night of competition in which new meet records were set in the men’s 2000 meter steeplechase, the women’s 2,000 meter steeplechase, the women’s 4×200-meter relay, the men’s 3,200 meter run, the men’s long jump and the men’s pole vault,” Eaton coach Randy McKinney said. “Overall it was a highly competitive meet, especially for this time in the season. As the night progressed the temperature quickly began to drop, but the overall level of competition continue to crank out some outstanding races, jumps, throws and vaults.”

Audrey Zimmerman of Bryan set the record in the girls steeplechase with a time of 7 minutes, 41.85 seconds. Karl Grossman of Dayton Carroll ran a 6:16.54 for a new boys steeplechase mark.

The Versailles relay team of Ava Moran, Ellen Peters, Liz Watren and Lucy Prakel ran a 1:48.28 to set the new record in the 4×200.

Joe Spitzer of Versailles set the 3,200 record with a time of 9:36.08, Daiton Sharp of Vandalia Butler soared 22-7 for a new long jump record and Dalton Shepler of Butler cleared 15-feet in the pole vault.

Versailles won the girls team title with 107 points. Twin Valley South was fifth with 63.33. Eaton was seventh with 42.5 and Preble Shawnee was 15th with six, while Eaton’s B team was 16th with three points.

Versailles won the boys team championship with 112 points. Eaton was ninth with 33 points. Twin Valley South was 11th with 20 and Preble Shawnee was 12th with 14.

“We had a great night for track and field with a great mixture of teams from Ohio and Indiana. The two teams that traveled the farthest to compete were Bryan High School from Northwest Ohio and Park Tudor High School from the Carmel, Indiana area,” McKinney said. “We really enjoyed having the five teams travel over from Indiana to compete while overall this year we added four new schools to the invitational. These teams helped round out what was already a very strong field of teams from Southwest Ohio.”

McKinney said he is please with the progress of his team thus far.

“I am very pleased with the progress of the men and women’s teams to this point in the season and our overall finish in the invitational. Many of our athletes had season and/or personal best times, throws, jumps, etc. which placed in some events and not in other events,” McKinney said. “The overall depth of talent at the meet was quite amazing which made placing quite a challenge in most events.”
