Two Mahomet-Seymour Junior High School athletes were individual winners on Friday (April 30) in a four-school boys’ track and field meet in Mahomet.

Ethan Peterka won the 1,600-meter race and Colin Tobias won the pole vault in a meet that also included Danville North Ridge, Tuscola East Prairie and Champaign St. Matthew.

“We saw a number of athletes improve on their own personal records,” coach Bobby Boykin said.

On Saturday (May 1), the Bulldogs competed in the Mount Zion Invitational.

In the team standings, the M-S eighth-graders placed fifth while the seventh-grade team secured a fourth-place finish.

M-S athletes went 1-2 in the pole vault with Ty Clark winning the event and Seth Christensen taking second.

Clark was the runner-up in the high jump.

Other second-place finishers for M-S were Ian Dobrucki (hurdles) and the seventh-grade 800-meter relay unit of Justus Vrona, Landen Dowers, Parker Wilkins and Jonathan Franklin.

“This was a very good meet for us as a team, as we had the opportunity to go against some of the teams that will be in our sectional (on May 15) this year,” Boykin said.

M-S will return to action on Thursday (May 6) at St. Joseph.
