As the Daytona 500 is to the NASCAR season, so is the Marwin Kline Invitational to the Lowcountry high school track & field season.
We’re out of the blocks and sprinting toward the finish line of another season on the track after the annual kickoff event Saturday, March 14, at Whale Branch Early College High School.
The host Warriors claimed a quartet of gold medals, as Jonathan Kelley won the 200 meters along with a runner-up finish in the 110-meter hurdles, and Derrick Roberts won the triple jump, while Larmore Pryor took the girls long jump and the Whale Branch girls won the 4×100 relay.
Beaufort High’s girls broke through for gold in the 4×400 relay, while Amir Harrison was runner-up in the girls javelin and Yzeult Antia placed second in the girls 800 and fourth in the 400-meter hurdles.
Battery Creek’s Isaac Smalls claimed a win in the 400-meter hurdles and was runner-up in the long jump, while John Paul II’s Blake Hubik placed second in the 1600 and 3200 and teammate Andrew Boyden was runner-up in the javelin.
Four athletes won multiple events — Hilton Head’s Zac Henderson (boys 1600, 3200) and Kyndal Cohen (girls 200, 400), Bluffton’s Giada Carge (girls 1600, 3200), and Calhoun County’s Jamani Canty (boys discus, shot). May River’s boys swept all three relays.
