Another strong showing for Wolverine track teams
The Wolverines boys and girls track teams had a strong showing in the running events at Tuesday’s track meet hosted by WHS.
Gabby Chapman won the girls 100-meter (14.56) and 400-meter dashes (1:09.58), while Sam Storer and Colin Viele finished first and second in the boys 400-meter race with times of 56.85 and 58.68, respectively.
In the 1600-meter race, Brandon Goud lead all competitors from the race’s start to finish. Goud crossed the finish line in 4:56, a new personal best.
“We’ve only got eight kids but they’re all doing very, very well,” Coach Warren Cossette said afterward. “Everyone that’s competed has placed; and even though we’re only two meets into the season, I think everyone’s now qualified for the Mountain Valley Conference meet.”
Four high schools, Monmouth, Boothbay Region, Hall-Dale and Richmond sent teams for Tuesday’s meet. Boothbay Region won both the boys and girls meets, while WHS settled for fourth.
Wiscasset’s Ayanna Main placed second in the high jump at 4’8” behind Boothbay’s Angie Perkins at 4’10”. Main was also second in the triple jump 32’4.5 and long jump 14’10.” The Wolverines' Chapman placed third in the long jump at 14’6”.
In other events, WHS’s Max Sampson took second in the triple jump, 33’4” and third in the long jump at 16’ 7.” Angus Putnam showed a lot of improvement by placing fifth in the 3200-meter run, 13:08.
Keara Hunter placed fourth in the girls discus with a throw of 62’1”, seventh in the high jump and placed ninth in the 100-meter hurdles. Chapman placed sixth in the girls high jump.
