The Beaufort Track Classic is an event with a rich tradition and impressive list of meet record-holders. The Beaufort Eagles added to their own rich history in the event by sweeping the team titles Saturday at Beaufort High School.
Beaufort’s girls racked up 160 points to cruise to the crown with Woodland (99) in second and May River (94.5) third. Anna Lyles won gold in the 400-meter hurdles and the pole vault, and Charlize Antia won the 800 and teamed with Yzeult Antia, Christine Conte, and Aleeyah Echols to claim the 4×800 title for the Eagles. Anaiya Houseal also claimed an individual title in the high jump.
The boys race was a bit tighter, but the Eagles still won the title with relative ease, compiling 144 points to runner-up Johnson’s 117. Eric Smart won the 110-meter hurdles, Kacy Fields broke the meet record to claim the javelin, and Trae Campbell, Christopher Gordon, Xzavier Lacefield and Darien Brown teamed up to take the 4×800 relay.
The Whale Branch girls placed sixth with 69 points, as Grace Bing won the 100-meter hurdles and the quartet of Natalia Aburto, Destiny Pryor, Larmore Pryor and Talaijah Bartley blazed to gold in the 4×100 and 4×400 relays. The Warriors also placed sixth in the boys standings, and Battery Creek was seventh with a discus title from Tanner McCracken.
