The Whitehall track team put together a dominant performance as they swept the meet against Freedom High School last week.

The Zephyrs boys won 100-41, while the girls earned a 101-43 victory. Dissecting those numbers reveals just how impressive they were en route to the victory. The boys swept the shot put, discus, and were first in 14 of the 18 events. The girls swept the 100, 200, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, and won every relay race.

Head coach Jim Sebesta said he was somewhat surprised that they won as handily as they did since Freedom is a school with a talented pool of athletes. The way they went out and took care of business speaks to how efficient they were in every event.

"The overall effort from everyone was what stood out," said Sebesta.

The girls sprinters tallied 18 of those 101 points with Decontee Krayee (12.8), Kourtney Cunningham (12.9) and Arianie Pizarro (13.2) finishing one, two three in the 100. It was nearly the same order in the 200 with Kaylee Cunningham supplanting Pizarro in the third spot. Krayee won in 27.0.

"Our sprinters really had a good day," said Sebesta. "They were strong in every race."

In the 400, Kourtney Cunningham claimed the top spot, busting then tape in 1:04.0, while Angela Stella won the 800 in 2:30.0. Alex Dorna came in second in the 800, crossing the line in 2:38.0.

Emily Brand captured second in the 1600 (5:49.0), while Heather Bush was second in the 3200 at 13:58.0.

The Zephs asserted themselves in the hurdles with Jillian Kreglow winning the 100 (18.1), while Alyssa Holland took first in the 300 (51.4). Holland also finished second in the 100, hitting the tape in 18.2.

The relays belonged to the Zephs as noted earlier, with Krayee, Kylee Cunningham, Ivanna Jones and Pizarro winning the 4x100 in 52.6, while Iman Azim, Kourtney Cunningham, Tiffanie Hopkins and Stella won the 4x 400 in 4:26.6. Finally, they capped it off with a win in the 4x 800 with Madison Walker, Domer, Stella and crossing the line in 10:57.0.

Kreglow was a multiple winner for the girls, adding to her first in the hurdles with the top high jump at 4-05.00.

In the pole vault, Taylor Hamscher cleared the bar at 7-00.00 to earn the top spot, while Kelsey Millets who also cleared 7-00.00 came in second by virtue of attempts, while Amber Myers came in third at 6-00.00.

The long jump was a Zephyr sweep with Jenny Davis earning the number one spot (15-06.07), while Hamscher was second (14-07.50), and Kreglow was third (14-06.50).

The triple jump saw Jones take first (31-04.50), Hamscher get second (30-03.00) and Kreglow nab third (30-02.00).

In the throwing events, Natalie Saraceni took second in the discus (73-05) and the javelin (83-03).

Sebesta said the girls were strong in every event as the younger kids have started to "figure it out."

The boys began their dominating day with a one-two finish in the 100. Kyleem Harrison topped the field with a 11.4 mark, while Ronnie Okungu was second at 11.5. In the 200, Jarad Mittl was second at 23.9.

Sebesta said that Okungu has shown great progress and is someone who they can plug into a number of races to get some needed points. Along with his strong showing in the 100, Okungu was part of the winning 4x100 team which included Mittl, Charles Mikhail and Kori Zacarius, crossing the line in 47.5.

The 400 saw two Zephs score points as J.C. Falcon won the race in 52.8, while Kurt Koehler was third at 54.4.

The boys were one-two in the 800 as well, with Brian Lewinsky (2:11.0) and Andrew Frisch (2:13.0) doing the honors. They followed that with a win in the mile as Calvin Schneck won in 4:42.0, while Gabe Lamm was first in the 3,200, finishing in 10:29.0.

The middle distance and distance events have been a place where the Zephs are capitalizing on a strong group of runners that have consistently finished among the top three. Along with veterans Plucinsky, Schneck and Lamm, Sebesta said that Frisch has emerged as someone who can be a key component to their success.

"He's just a hard worker and he's getting better," said Sebesta.

He said that this whole group "pushes one another," getting the most out of each other every meet.

Harrison also won the 100 meter hurdles, finishing in 16.0, while Isaiah Cary was second in the 300, crossing the line in 45.3.

The Zephs also took first in the 4x800 as Frisch, Plucinsky, Elliot Miller and Lamm hit the tape in 8:50.0.

In the high jump, Sebesta said that Falcon attempted to break the school record at 6-6, but narrowly missed it. Still, he won the event with a 6-05.00 mark. Cary was third at 5-03.00.

Harrison won his third and fourth events in the long (20-00) and triple jumps 42-05), respectively. Cary was second in each event, hitting the pit in 19-1 in the long, while landing at 40-08 in the triple.

The boys also dominated the throwing events as Jake Kerchner (37-11), Jeffrey Cordon (37-04) and Scott Howett (35-10) finished 1-2-3 in the shot put. The discus saw Cordon tops (95-07), while Nick Nejad (89-03) was second and Matt Meyers was third (85-02).

Finally, Nejad claimed the honors in the javelin with a 145-10 mark, while Howett finished second with a 118-05 heave.

Sebesta said that every meet one discipline will pick up the other, whether it's the throwers picking up the sprinters, or the distance runners picking up the jumpers. It's been a combined team effort this year.

"This is who we are, and we're going to keep pushing all year," said Sebesta.
