Hillsboro boys, girls win Fairfield meet
Staff writer
The Hillsboro High School track team won its second meet of the season on Tuesday, again dominating the competition at the Fairfield High School Track Meet held in Haven.
On a near perfect day for a meet, the girls won with a team total of 119 points. The boys won their division with a team total of 140 points.
Schools competing at the meet were Fairfield, Haven, Hillsboro, Inman, and Little River.
"We had much better weather for this meet, and this allowed us to see realistic times and distances," said Head Coach Dennis Boldt. "We competed very well, winning our second meet of the year."
According to Boldt, the event of the day in the boys' division was in the pole vault.
"Sheldon Funk jumped 13'6", which is a good jump and took second place," he said.
In the girls' division, Boldt said, "Andrea King had a very good day. She threw her personal best in discus, throwing 103 feet and took first place."
"Andrea's taking first was a good win for us as a team," he said.
The team will compete at 3:30 p.m. Friday at the Smoky Valley Invitational, which will be held in Marion. The new track at Bethany College where Smoky Valley hosts their meets is not yet completed.
"At this meet we should have some good competition in each event," Boldt said. "There should be at least 10 schools there, with Smoky Valley and Marion bringing some good athletes."
The team will also compete at 4:30 p.m. in the Halstead meet held in Halstead.
