Records fall at County meet

JAMESTOWN — Eighteen meet records were broken and another was tied at the second Greene County Invitational track and field meet, April 21 at Greeneview’s Don Nock Field.

All eight Greene County high schools were on hand, with Beavercreek edging the host Rams for the boys title; and Bellbrook edging the Battlin’ Beavers for the girls crown.

“It’s taken us a while to figure out some of our lineups, because we have a lot of freshmen and sophomores on our team, but today things seemed like they fell together,” said Bellbrook girls coach Blake Barnes. “We had several meet records broken tonight, which was nice. I kinda lost track after a while, there were so many. The kids did really well today, both boys and girls.”

Barnes had a number of his kids absent due to a school field trip to Washington D.C.

Beavercreek assistant coach T.J. Smart said the Beavers didn’t have a full team, either.

“The kids that were here competed really well. We didn’t have a vaulting competition here today, so our pole vaulters are over at (University of Dayton), and a couple of our distance runners are at a meet in Louisville, Ky. this weekend,” Smart said. “We weren’t at full strength today, but we competed really hard. The boys came home with a trophy and the girls finished second, so I’m really proud of our effort.”

Xenia speedster Meechi Harris claimed individual meet record wins in the long jump as well as the 100-meter dash. Harris then teamed up with fellow Buccaneer burners Corey Burnett Jr., Andre Grundy and Christian Lair to set a new meet mark in the 400 relay.

Xenia Legacy Christian distance runner Rachel Sweeney set two meet records of her own. Sweeney set records in the girls 400-meter run, and the 3,200-meter run.
