Tuesday Track: 4 County teams record meet splits, as Fillmore girls and B-R boys claim team wins; C-R boys, GV/Belfast girls also score top overall place at Cuba
BOLIVAR — The division of a track meet right down the middle between two teams was the occuring theme that went on throughout the county on Tuesday. From upon the confines of Dunsmore-Latimer Field in Bolivar, the Bolivar-Richburg boys and the Fillmore girls track teams both fought straight down to the wire to garner the points they needed to claim the top finish at the end of the night.
For the Wolverines boys, who scored a 68-58 win over Fillmore, they pieced together seven individual first place finishes to go with two relay victories to pace the way. Leading the individual finishes were Owen Unfus, Calyn Todd and Ayden Music, as each Bolivar-Richburg competitor scored two first place finishes, with Unfus coming away victorious in the 200 and 400 dashes, Todd in the 110 and 400 hurdles, and Music in the long and triple jumps from the sand bunker.
Ren Button was the last Wolverine to add his first place win into the mix, as he galloped towards the finish line with a first place finish in the 100 dash. Bolivar-Richburg closed out action with a win in the 400 and 1600 relay events, completing a nine-win display.
The Eagles of Fillmore followed behind with six individual finishes of their own, led by Eli Strickland and Gage Hartman, who had two each. Both Eagles swept each section of competition on the track and from the field, with Strickland bringing out the brooms in both distance running events — the 1600 and 3200 runs, while Hartman swept both throwing events from the pits, earning gold in both the shot put and discus. Jonah Sardina (800 sprint) and Landon Wright (high jump) each had a win to go with Fillmore’s 3200 relay victory.
On the ladies side of competition, it was the Lady Eagles that prevailed with a 60-53 win over Bolivar-Richburg, with Paityn Worthington’s multi-win performance igniting the team win. Worthington was triumphant with two of the team’s seven individual victories, as she sped towards victory in the 400 hurdles before garnering the longest distance in the sand with a win in the long jump.
Meyah Worthington (100 dash), Grace Walton (800 sprint), Jillian Beardsley (1500 run), Annalisa Bialek (3000 run) and Emalyn Mucher (high jump) all had a win each to add into the mix alongside a complete sweep of all three relay events.
Bolivar-Richburg was led by Nadia Baldwin and Carmen Crowley, as the two Lady Wolverines combined for five of the team’s six total first place finishes. Baldwin recorded victory with her triumphant performances in the 200 dash and shot put, as well as tied Fillmore’s Emalyn Mucher for the winning height in the high jump, while Crowley raced towards victory in the 400 sprint and then found gold in the sand pit with her winning distance in the triple jump. Genecis Easton had the team’s last win in the discus event.

C-R boys, GV/Belfast girls perform split of Cuba tri-meet
CUBA — No school came out of Tuesday’s battle in Cuba with the outright kit and kaboodle as the Cuba-Rushford boys and the Genesee Valley/Belfast girls were at the top of their game, each recording a pair of team wins to carve the meet down the middle at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the night.
On the boys side, it was Cuba-Rushford that took their two victories in dominant fashion, as they rolled past both Genesee Valley/Belfast (73-43) and Friendship/Scio (78-32) to claim the top prize after recording 10 total victories in competition — three of them coming in a complete sweep of all three relay events.
Leading the individual winners for the Rebels was Joe Wojciechowski, who had two of the team’s seven individual wins in his back pocket, racing his way to the finish line with wins in the 800 sprint and 1600 run. Sawyer Rouse (400 sprint), Alex Linn (3200 run), Anderson Seigel (400 hurdles), Garrett Clayson (discus) and Brenton Ahrens (triple jump) all pitched in their individual triumphs along the way to set the table for victory.
For Genesee Valley/Belfast, who came away with a second place finish following a 55-40 win over Friendship/Scio of their own, it was Brayden Cooper and his electrifying three-victory performance that charged the team’s efforts, as he recorded first place finishes in the 100 dash, shot put and high jump. Wyatt Weaver had the team’s fourth and final individual win with his top height in the pole vault.
Friendship/Scio collected two first place finishes from Jerome Harmon in the 200 dash and Dawson Mix in the long jump to fuel their efforts.
On the girls side of action, Genesee Valley/Belfast dominated the field themselves with victories over host Cuba-Rushford (83-41) and Friendship/Scio (94-24) behind three victories from Bayleigh Tallman, posting them in the 100 and 200 dashes, and the long jump events.
