One of the longest-standing track meets in the state went off Saturday, and Beaufort High School freshman Yzeult Antia turned in one of the great individual performances in the event’s rich history.
Antia claimed gold in the 800-, 1,600-, and 3,200-meter races and helped the Eagles win the 4×800-meter relay en route to the team title. Beaufort’s girls also won the 4×400 relay.
The Eagles finished second in the boys standings behind May River, while Whale Branch’s boys placed third, just three points behind Beaufort.
Beaufort’s Eric Smart won gold in the boys 400-meter hurdles and the pole vault and was second in the 110-meter hurdles, losing by two one-hundredths of a second to Whale Branch’s Jonathan Kelley, who nipped Smart at the line and improved upon his own school record in the event. Isaac Smalls won the long jump and was second in the 400-meter hurdles and third in the 110-meter hurdles for the Eagles.
Laron Wright, KJ Chisholm, and Bradford Thompson also won events for the Warriors, who added gold in the 4×100 and 4×400 relays.
