Bellefontaine’s boys also won comfortably after scoring 143 points and winning 10 events. The Raider boys took the runner-up spot with 128 points, the Spartans edged the Lakers for third 35.5-32.5 and the Pirates came in fifth with 14 points.
“We were glad to come out of this meet on top given the outstanding competition our county has,” said BHS head coach Ben Davis. “Putting two long jumpers over 21 feet is the first in my memory as head coach. We had several season bests and when things went awry at times, others picked up the slack.”
