Bellwood – Many records were broken as local athletes tuned up for the district championships at the Division 3 MAC meet at Bellwood Wednesday afternoon. Blue Devil girls and boys teams ran away with the first place trophy\u2019s as athletes gear up for the push to states hoping to peak at the right time.
\n\u201cThis is the last meet of the regular season before district this coming Tuesday,\u201d Tyrone\u2019s Coach Yaniello said. \u201cIt was a very hot day that may have hurt some of the distance races times but a good day for everyone else. In fact it was a very good day as the girls and boys broke 12 meet records on the day. Bellwood-Antis and Tyrone athletes were responsible for breaking eight of the 12 meet records.\u201d
\nBellwood boys team easily out pointed runner-up P-O 177 to 781⁄2, picking up right where they left off winning the prestigious West Central Coaches Meet last Friday.
\nSuperman Brandon Pruznak broke two meet records (200-22.72), Long Jump (21-8 3\/4), while teammates Ben Hatch (800-2:02.78) and Ricky Shawley (Pole Vault-13-6) also rewrote the records in their specialties. Pruznak also won the 400 and Hatch was victorious in the 1600. The Blue Devils won two of three relays winning MAC all-star status in the 1600 and 3200 relays. Brandon Pruznak was honored as the Outstanding Boys Runner.
\n\u201cOverall, this was a really great team effort. We are blessed to have the kids and talent that we have,\u201d said B-A boys coach Nick Lovrich. \u201cThe guys have bought into the idea of team in front of individual goals. We are scoring in a lot events. Hopefully we are peaking at the right time and all the hard work the kids put in will payoff next Tuesday at the district meet.\u201d
\nThe Golden Eagle boys picked up MAC all-star honors winning the 400 relay breaking the meet record held by last years state qualifying Tyrone team. Team members were Shane Emigh, Larry Glace, Shane Tate, and Johnny Franco. Tyrone welcomes back Ethan Etters, who won the Triple Jump with a personal best of 41-5. Ben Ingle was solid placing 2nd in the 800 and 1600.
\n\u201cWe were missing a few of our athletes due to a school function and injury to standout pole vaulter Phil Kreckel,\u201d stated coach Yaniello. \u201cI thought we performed well in most areas.\u201d
\nThe Lady Blue Devil girls won five events to get a bit of revenge over regular season champions Philipsburg-Osceola 151 to 134 and got a meet record breaking performance from their 400 relay team (52.33). Team members were Lauren Leap, Emily O\u2019Shea, Jannell Wilt, Jenna Nevling. Jenna Nevling had a banner day also winning the 100, 200 meter dash and ran with Lauren Leap, Jannell Wilt and Chelsea Wilson to win the 1600 relay. Chelsea Wilson was conference champ in the 400 (1:02.14). Liz Erickson scored valuable points in the field placing second in the Shot Put (31-3 1\/2) and Discus (87-10) and third in the javelin (98-4). Liz Erickson was named the Outstanding Girls Field Performer.
\nThe Tyrone girls placed third as a team and got 3 wins from standout Liz Tepsic. Liz broke the meet record in the triple jump with a winning leap of 36-21⁄2. She also had her fastest time of the season in the 300 intermediate hurdles (49.25), won the 100 hurdles (16.34) and placed third in the long jump (15-8 1\/4).
