Tyrone and Bellwood boys track run to a 75-75 tie
For the first time in over a decade, the Tyrone boys did not lose to Bellwood
Rivals Tyrone and Bellwood-Antis were well fit to be tied last night, both finished with 75 team points in a double dual meet that included West Branch at Bellwood.
“We haven’t beaten [Bellwood] in over a decade,” said Coach Everhart, “losing is sort of like kissing your opponent’s butt, and winning is like kissing your girlfriend. A tie is, well, you know, like kissing your sister–but since we have been kissing Bellwood’s butts in track for over a decade, this tie is sort of like kissing your step-sister–a really good looking step-sister. An unsettling if not twisted pleasure–sorry if that simile is not kosher, but it best describes how we feel right now.”
Despite placing well, the Tyrone girls were heavily outnumbered by the Lady Devils and fell 86-63.
“The boys are still undefeated and intend to remain so. It’s long overdue, and our boys are hungry,” said Everhart.
The boys 400 meter relay team soared over Bellwood’s with a team of Nick Getz, Cameron Bakhsheshe, Parker Mitchell and Connor Harper with a time of 44.6. Getz and Bakhsheshe also swept the 100 meter dash with times of 11.3 and 11.5.
Also placing first was Joe Kohler in the 3200 meter run, Parker Mitchell in the long jump, Ricky Reader in the shot put and Jeff McNelis in the discus.
For the girls Erika Voyzey was first in all three events, winning the high, long and triple jumps. Along with Tori Crabtree placing in all her events.
Carly Crofcheck also took first in the javelin with a throw of 90-11.
