The Southport boys’ track and field team placed sixth out of eight teams at the annual Southport Relays on Saturday, April 24. Warren Central won the meet.
The final score was Warren Central 149, Fort Wayne Snider 106, Noblesville 78, Fishers 62, Pike 60, Southport 53, Terre Haute South 35, and Broad Ripple 14.
“We had some things happen here and there that a higher placing just out of reach,” said Coach Fishel. Southport was ten points shy of fourth place.
Pole vaulter Trevor Young’s points were lacking due to a scoring mishap. Young is typically a major contributor.
“In high jump, we have Matt Prather jumping six feet, but other teams are just much deeper,” said Fishel.
“Our squad is inexperienced and depleted.”
According to Fishel, Southport’s throwers performed well. Seniors Paul Sommers and John Cary along with junior Eric Dean achieved high marks.
Southport’s next meet is tomorrow, April 27, away at Perry Meridian.
