Another weekend, another sweep of the team trophies for Beaufort High track and field. The Eagles took the boys and girls crowns at the Cougar Invitational on Saturday at Colleton County, racking up 199 points in the boys standings to win by 69 over runner-up Hilton Head Island, and taking the girls title with 173 points, 50 clear of second-place May River.
Alvin Wilson led Beaufort’s boys with two of their six golds, winning the discus and shot put, while Charlie Bennett won the 1,600, Gavin Moore took the 3,200, Zyrin Odom won the 400 hurdles, and the Eagles took the 4×800 relay.
May River’s Fareed Abdullah won the boys 100 and 200 and the Sharks also won gold with Darrion Perry in the 400, Damaion Polite in the 800, and in the 4×400 relay. Hilton Head Island’s Jourdin Nelson-Davis won the high jump, while teammates Franklin Holland and Nathaniel Rohr won gold in the pole vault and javelin.
Beaufort’s girls had only two individual champs — Charlize Antia in the 800 and Keasia Walker in the long jump — but they took the 4×400 and 4×800 relays and racked up the top three finishes.
Hilton Head Island’s Anne Ferguson pulled off a double gold in the 400 and high jump, and teammate Cynthia Gudaitis matched her with gold in the 1600 and 3200. May River had five individual titles, including two from McKenna Swinton in the discus and shot, while Grace Kline won the pole vault, AnnaDora Hale took the 400 hurdles, and Macey Dowe claimed the javelin. Colleton’s Makayla Chisholm won the 100, and teammate Shandi Brown took the 200, and the duo led the Cougars to the 4×100 title by two seconds over Calhoun County.
Talaijah Bartley of Whale Branch won the 100 hurdles.
