Hopkins senior Quincy Collings and junior Julia Forbes both won individual titles Friday at the GVSU Indoor Track Invitational and the 4×600-meter relay quartet also emerged in first place.

Collings, Division 3 high jump state champion last June when he cleared 6 feet 9 inches, went 6-6 last Friday at GVSU. He also was first in the long jump at 21-3.5.

Forbes, customarily a sprinter, leaped 16-6 in the long jump, a good three and a half inches better than all other competitors.

The winning relay performance was turned in by Josie Freybler, Kennedy Miedema, Samantha Ludlam and Rachael Weber, with a time of 7:32.4, more than five seconds faster than runner-up Benzie Central.

The Viking girls also had several runner-up finishes.

Freybler, Miedema, Forbes and Nicole Pavlak hooped up for second place in the 4×300-meter relay, edging third-place Benzie Central by 12-hundredths of a second.

The Viking girls made a strong showing in the throws, as Nicole Opolski was second in the shot put at 32-2 and Bailey Ballard was runner-up in the discus at 91-3.

Anthony Steffens took a fourth in the 200-meter race in 23.89 seconds, Forbes was fifth in 60 meters, Weber fifth in the 1600, Shelby Henshaw fifth in the shot, and a third by the 4×300 relay with Lennart Baldreich, Sid VanderTuin, Hayden Graczyk and Jared Croad.
