LAWTON—The Saugatuck boys track team turned in scoring performances in all four relays at the SAC Championship Meet on Monday, May 5.
That was a big factor in the Trailblazers’ ability to earn a fifth-place showing of 50 points in the 18-team field.
The top eight finishers in each event score points based on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 scoring system.
The meet was also scored as a dual meet between Saugatuck and Gobles since the scheduled meet between the teams was cancelled due to bad weather earlier this season.
The Trailblazers won that to finish 8-0 in the SAC Lakeshore, securing the divisional championship in the process.
The top relay effort by Saugatuck came in the 4×800, as the team of Sammy Gamboa, Marcus Silva, Tommy Bullinger and Grant Rehkopf posted a time of 8:54.16 to place third.
Results for Saugatuck’s other relays were: the 4×400 team of Chris Foley, Morgan Davis, Nick Petrik and Brennan Nor was fourth at 3:43.26; the 4×100 team of Jaxon Green, Carter Miller, Cass Stanberry and Max Page was seventh at 46.31; and the 4×200 team of Green, Miller, Petrik and Page was eighth at 1:37.97.
Individually, Miller and Stanberry each secured a runner-up finish.
Miller was second in discus at 138-10, and Stanberry was second in long jump at 20-3.5. Miller also scored in shot put (eighth at 43-0), while Stanberry scored in both the 300 hurdles (seventh at 44.17) and the 110 hurdles (eighth at 16.95).
Also scoring for the Trailblazers were: Sawyer Monroe in the 3,200 (third at 10:31.09) and the 1,600 (eighth at 4:49.16); Jackson Bowman in the 1,600 (seventh at 4:48.72) and the 3,200 (seventh at 10:43.17); and Pete Mitchell in long jump (fourth at 19-9).
