WILLIAMSTOWN - For the first time in the six-year history of the Ryan Jobes Spring Special, the Williamstown girls took the team crown here Saturday at the Jack Jones Track and Field Complex.
The Yellowjacket girls of first-year head coach Zach Hall rolled to a 130-88 victory over runner-up Tyler Consolidated while the St. Marys boys used a winning finish in the 4 by 400 to edge out Magnolia, 98.5 to 94.
Ali Johnson of St. Marys, thanks in part to her winning time of 17.1 in the 100 hurdles, garnered high-point honors for the girls by scoring 26.

Brendan Kacor of Magnolia, who edged out triple-winner Jordan Brown-Stobbe (800, 1600, 3200) of University by a count of 30.5 to 30, took high-point honors for the boys. Kacor won the 100 (11.4), 200 (23.5), was runner-up by 1 1/2 inches with his 20-4 showing in the long jump to Waterford's Matt West and also ran the opening leg on the Blue Eagles' winning 4 by 100 squad. Magnolia had a clocking of 46.3 in that event as Kacor was followed by Timmy Shreeves, Tanner Fluharty and Cage Rohde.
Brown-Stobbe established one of three new meet records on a cold Saturday. The Hawk standout distance runner finished the 1600 in 4:34.7, which just bested the 2004 record previously held by Ravenswood's Andrew Benford (4:36).
Mark Britton of Ritchie County broke his own record in the discus which he set last year with an effort of 159-10. This time around, the Rebel senior produced a winning throw of 163 feet, 8 inches to best runner-up Matt Riggs of Magnolia, who went 145-10. Riggs, though, turned the tide on Britton in the shot put as the Blue Eagle won the event against his Rebel adversary, 50-2 to 48-1.

Magnolia’s Matt Riggs bested the field Saturday in the shot put with a throw of 50 feet, 2 inches and was runner-up in the discus.
Somewhat amazingly, five girls actually broke the meet record in the 300 meter low hurdles. Johnson finished with a 50.7 to smash the old mark of 52.29 she set last year. However, that was only good enough for second place as Parkersburg South's Nicole Fluharty now has the new record with a time of 50 seconds flat.
Waterford's Austin Shriver held off Dylan McNutt of Williamstown by a tenth of a second to win the 110 meter high hurdles with a clocking of 16.4. The only other Williamstown boys to win an event were McNutt in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles with a time of 43.1 and Alex Marchetti in the pole vault (13-6).
The other individual victors for the boys included Garret Lynch of Parkersburg South in the high jump (6-0) and Magnolia's Timmy Shreeves in the 400 (53.5).
