NOBLESVILLE – Thursday’s Hamilton County boys track and field meet turned out to be one for the record books.
Carmel ran away with the team championship, scoring 171 points, while Noblesville edged out Hamilton Southeastern for second place, 116-113.5. In addition, there were three new meet records set at the meet, which took place at Guerin Catholic.
The Greyhounds set one of them, in the 4×100 relay. The team of Desmond Duffy, Colton Parker, Anthony Iskander and Thomas Maurer cruised to victory in that event with a time of 42.25 seconds. It was the second win of the evening for Iskander, who earlier won the 100 dash in a photo finish over the Millers’ Mac Smith. Iskander won in 11.09 seconds, Smitch came in at 11.10 seconds.
Overall, Carmel won nine events. James Philpott took the 110 hurdles, while Zach Cox led a 1-2 finish in the 300 hurdles, with Parker placing second. Greg Gottlieb paced the 200 dash, and the ‘Hounds completed the meet with a win in the 4×400 relay, done by the team of Curran Eastes, Andrew Willman, Shammah Dosunmu and Kole Mathison.
Seth Hutchison was first in the pole vault, and Carmel also took first in both throwing events, with Nolan Ring winning the discus and Evan Brehl triumphing in the shot put.
“The guys ran really well today,” said Greyhounds coach Ken Browner. “Obviously, we were trying to work on things, getting ready for sectional, so we didn’t run a lot of the guys in multiple events. But we did run them in some of their key events just to make sure we stayed sharp and got ready for sectional next week.”
Noblesville won three events, including one in new meet record time. Andrew Anderson sailed to victory in the 800 run, holding off a surging Mathison and winning in a record time of 1:53.78. It was part of a distance sweep for the Millers: Cole Kimmel won the 1600 run, getting a close win over the Royals’ Nolan Satterfield. Kimmel finished in 4:19.93, Satterfield in 4:20.05. Travis Hickner was first in the 3200 run, leading a 1-2 sweep as Asher Propst took second. Noblesville’s Tanner Gibson won the high-point scorer award; he placed second in the 200 dash, third in the 100 and ran on the Millers’ third-place 4×100 relay
Southeastern picked up field event victories. Manraj Grewal dominated the high jump, as his winning leap of 6 feet, 5 inches was five inches ahead of second place. Lamine Sall finished first in the high jump.
Fishers finished in fourth place with 93.5 points and had two event wins, including a record-setter. The Tigers began the meet with Jaylen Castillo, Will Clark, Alec Foster and Ben Greiwe setting a new mark in the 4×800 relay, clocking in at 7:46.40. Keefer Soehngen also got a victory, cruising to first place in the 400 dash.
Westfield placed fifth as a team and had two runner-up finishes. Tyler Smith, Kyler Koning, Josh Barnett and Josh Springborn got together to take second in the 4×800, while Matthew Penley was the long jump runner-up.
