Lady Hornets win 10 events, home meet title
EDITOR’S NOTE: Because the look back at each day in Bryant athletic history has been so favorably received during the time when there was no sports during the COVID-19 shutdown, BryantDaily.com will continue posting past stories of Bryant athletics either posted on BryantDaily.com (from 2009 to the present) or published in the Bryant Times (from 1998 to 2008).
Senior Candice James amassed 30.5 points and the Bryant Lady Hornets won 10 events to dominate the annual Hornet Relays held Thursday, March 20.
In boys competition, Conway edged Lake Hamilton for top honors. With limited numbers, the Hornets finished sixth in the eight-team field. The effort was highlighted by a win in the 3200 meter relay and the continued assault on the school pole vault record by Blake Zuber.
The Lady Hornets piled up 192 points. Cabot was second with 124 in the five-team girls field.
James won the 1600 meter run, with teammate Brooke Higgs second. She also won the 3200 and finished second to Higgs in the 800. The duo was joined by Lauren Harris and Nicole Sample in winning the 3200 meter relay.
Bryant won all three relays.
Bryant picked up wins in the field with Whitney Wingard in the long jump, Liz Griffis in the high jump and Brenda Reed in the shot put.
In the sprints, Bryant picked up first-place points in the 100 meter run thanks to Reagan James.
For the boys’ 3200 meter relay, Zack Roberson, Cody Walker, Bryan Ballew and Mark Pagan teamed up to run 8:46.1.
“I was very proud of the effort of the 4×800 relay team,” commented coach Steve Griffith. “Each of these young men has been working very hard in practice and it was great to see them bring home first place in our home meet. Blake Zuber continues to improve in the pole vault clearing 13-6 and almost getting the school record at 14-0.”
Zuber matched the best vault of the day at 13-6 but received second-place points on attempts.
