The Wayland boys’ track team Tuesday defeated two O-K Gold Conference opponents in a double dual meet at Wayland.

The Wildcats bested Kenowa Hills 91-46 and Middleville Thornapple Kellogg 83-54. The girls’ squad lost 110-27 to Middleville TK, but defeated Know 69-58.

The highlight of the meet was Adam Huff eclipsing his school record discus throw and taking first in that event and the shot put.

But there were other highlights as well.

Aiden Reeder was first in the 200-meter dash in a personal best 23.26 seconds by just three-hundredths of a second and Geno Wierckz was third. Reeder also took first in the 400-meter run in 51.38 and Breslin Vandenbos was third.

Austin Graham won the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.52 seconds and Alex Hubbard was third. Graham came back later in the 300 hurdles to score a first in a personal best time of 40.19 seconds.

Winning the 400-meter relay was the Wildcat quartet of Adam Huff, Graham, Geno Wierckz and Landon Dunahoo in 44.33 seconds.

Another relay winner was the 3200 foursome with Dylan Pallett, Breslin Vandenbos, Zachary Keene and Xander Stepek in 8:49.67. The four lads won by more than 10 seconds.

Huff kept his winning streak in the throws by taking the shot put in 50-07 and teammate Ashton Kuhlman was runner-up. Huff outdid his school record performance in the discus with a throw of 170-09.

Carson Lown and Warren Smith went 2-3 in the pole vault, both clearing 10-06.

In the women’s meet:

Taylor Wolf won the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.9 seconds.

The 800- and 1600-meter relay teams both finished second with Elliot Antel, Kaeli Whip, Taylor Wolf, Kennedy Jasinski, Laney Wolf and Megan Brogger.

Taylor Hoogewind was first in the discus with a toss of 92-06.

To no one’s surprise, Wayland’s Kennedy Jasinski finished first in the pole vault at 10-0 and Evie Mathis, in her first vault this season since suffering an injury, went 9-06 for second place.
