Harford Tech dominated the first Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference indoor track and field championships, held last Friday at CCBC-Essex.
The Cobras girls totaled 177 points, far ahead of second-place Patterson Mill, which scored 62. Harford Tech’s boys scored 141 points, while Rising Sun (52) beat out Bel Air (50) and Bohemia Manor (48) for second.
“I told the team a few days before the meet, they were getting an opportunity, that all those outstanding indoor teams we had in previously season didn’t get,” Harford Tech coach Darrell Diamond said. “So pay homage for those athletes who came before you who helped to build the program reputation for winning those regional and state finalist titles and setting all those great times and marks.”
Cobras won every boys running event except the 4×800, which Rising Sun won, but the star of the day was Khory Reevey. The senior won five conference championships. Individually, he won the 55-meter dash (6.83 seconds), the 300 (37.91) and the 55 hurdles (7.96). He also ran on Harford Tech’s winning 4×160 and 4×400 relay teams.
Reevey ran the 4×160 with Elijah Binot, Dewayne Roper Jr. and Jayce Miller (1:21.39). Reevey and Binot teamed with Camden Neary and Ryder Hermann to win the 4×400 (3:59.06). Binot picked up an individual win in the 500 (1:16.17).
Michael Beser joined Reevey as a multiple-time individual conference champion, winning the 1,600 (4:54.89) and 3,200 (10:40.6). Anthony Manzo won the 800 (2:15.87).
One of the highlights for Harford Tech’s girls was a 1-2-3 sweep in the 55. Madisen Morgan won the race in 7.58 seconds, one-hundredth of a second ahead of teammate Madisyn Bobb. Winter Evans finished third.
Evans, though, claimed two conference titles, winning the 55 hurdles (8.77) and the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches). Bobb added a win in the 300 (44.32). Morgan and Bobb teamed with Destiny Baker and Sah’Ni Wilson to win the 4×160 (1:30.58).
Harford Tech also got wins from Isabel DeVos in the 3,200 (11:47.5) and Peyton Leone in the pole vault (7-6).
Perhaps the biggest star outside the Harford Tech camp was Patterson Mill junior Leila Sollas, who won the 500 (1:26.97) and 800 (2:31.82).
Other winners on the girls side were Bel Air’s Cammille Miller in the 1,600 (5:30.79); C. Milton Wright’s 4×400 team of Shania Hill, Alicia Jones, Ella Rzepecki and Julianna McJilton (4:44.55); and the Patterson Mill 4×800 team of Sollas, Sarah Muller, Carli Lenhoff and Abigail Horsmon (11:02.08).
On the boys’ side, Joppatowne’s Ashton Brown won the shot put (43-1) and Patterson Mill’s Owen Young won the pole vault (11-0).
