The Greencastle track team hosted Western Boone Friday night, with the Tiger Cubs and Stars earning a split on the evening.

In the girls' meet, Greencastle was victorious 78-54. On the boys' side, Western Boone won 75-57.

"The wind was a force to deal with all night. However we still were able to turn in some good times and distances," GHS coach Garry Anderson said. "We got several personal bests despite the wind."

Highlights for the boys included senior Tanner Wood, who won the discus with a throw of 138-11. Freshman Elijah Williams added to the success of the throwers with a wining shot put of 42-7.

Sophomore Jacob Sanders won the 400 with a time of 56.7 against the wind.

Anderson also praised his distance runners.

"The distance guys really deserve a lot of credit by facing the wind on each lap they raced -- many doing it several times," Anderson said. That was really tough to deal with. We are a young team and we are making progress every time we compete."

Anderson said his girls' team also deserved credit for how it dealt with the conditions.

"The girls' meet was a carbon copy of the guys when dealing with the wind," Anderson said. They were still able to display some good times and distances."

Junior Brittany Welker won both hurdles events and sophomore Katerina King won three events and anchored the winning 400 relay with a time of 52.90.

Senior Alex Stoffregen anchored the winning 1,600 and 3,200 relays as well as winning the 800 with a time of 2:32.0.

The Tiger Cubs return to action on Thursday, April 17 when they travel to Monrovia for a triangular meet with the Bulldogs and Owen Valley.
