BOYS TRACK: Pardeeville wins pair of meets
Rio, Westfield-Montello athletes impress with early season showings.
Pardeeville's boys track team swept a pair of early season meets this week, winning Tuesday's Markesan Invite before topping the field Thursday at the Princeton Invitational.
The Pardeeville boys were led by sprinters Luke Standiford, Jordan Genrich and Billy Thou, who accounted for top-three finishes in six sprints and relays at the Markesan Invite and six more at the Princeton Invitational.
Genrich won the 100-meter dash in both meets, while Standiford won the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash in both. Standiford also won the long jump at Markesan before taking second in the event at Princeton.
While the sprinters garnered most of the points, the Bulldogs received contributions across the roster.
Pardeeville's Pat Haynes won the 110 high hurdles as well as the 300-meter intermediate hurdles Tuesday at Markesan, while Ryan Casey won the 800 at Princeton and the mile run at Markesan.
The Bulldogs 1,600-meter relay team of Genrich, Casey, Haynes and Standiford won the event at both meets.
Rio finished sixth at the Princeton Invite, but saw a number of impressive performances from senior Jeremy Reierson. Reierson won the long jump with a distance of 19 feet, 7.5 inches and placed second in the triple (40-4) and high jumps (6-2). Reierson also finished second in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of 16.45 seconds.
Westfield-Montello placed second as a team at the Markesan Invite, just five points short of Pardeeville.
The Pioneers were led by Steffen McCullough, who won the 800 and 3,200 at the Markesan Invitational.
Andrew Chesbro also won a pair of events, winning the shot put and discus throw.
