Boys team nabs 7th in SICL meet

COLFAX – The Montezuma Braves competed in every event, scored well in the sprints and sprint relays, and finished seventh in a very competitive SICL Boys Track Meet on Tuesday, May 6, at the new track/football facility at Colfax-Mingo.

The Braves got a second-place individual finish from David Rose in the 100-meter dash in 11.54 seconds. Rose later placed fourth in the 200 in 23.53, and had his feet busy in relay events.

The Braves were super close to a win in the 4×100. BGM was clocked in 44.91; Montezuma was judged second in 44.92.

The Braves’ speedsters were third in the 4×200 in 1:35.80.

Montezuma got a nice fourth-place run in the 4×800 in 9:01.14.

The Braves were also fourth in the 800 medley, in 1:43.39.

Montezuma was a competitive sixth in the hurdle shuttle, in 1:09.60.

The Braves made a strong showing in the throws. A discus toss by Dane Strong earned seventh, but his news really was the distance – 110 feet, 7 inches. Beau Young was 12th at 99-3.

In the shot put, Briar Simpson got a fifth place as he again flirted with 40 feet, at 39-6. Young tossed 33-4 in that event.

Come back later when we’ll have photos and hopefully some comments from Coach John Beck.
