BT&F Hamilton Co.: #6 host Carmel wins seven of 16 events

Sixth-ranked host Carmel won seven of 16 events May 7 in capturing the Hamilton County Track & Field Championships. 

The Greyhounds totaled 165 points to easily get past No. 22 Hamilton Southeastern (138.5), with Fishers (97) third and Westfield (89.5) fourth in the nine-team event.

Senior Dan Porter was one of two double winners on the night, taking both the 800-meter run (1:59.08) and the 1600 (4:14.94, a meet record and well over two seconds better than the previous mark set in 1988 by the Greyhounds’ Mike Tolle). Carmel also captured a pair of dashes with titles in the 200 – a 1-2 finish from junior Justin Batten (:22.99) and junior Devin Brinson (:23.17) – and the 400 (Brinson in :51.38), while senior Tom Ohlman won the 3200 in 9:39.50. 

Sophomore Langston Newton led a 1-2 finish in the discus with a 168-02 (senior Blair Trapkus was second with a 144-05), and the Greyhounds’ 4×100 relay unit of Batten, sophomore Damien Pennington, sophomore Brandon Steinhardt, and senior Jimmy White was victorious in :43.43.

“We are extremely happy with our performance,” said Carmel coach Will Ellery. “Our guys stepped up and competed at a high level in all events and quality competition. We are rounding into good form entering the tournament series.”

Hamilton Southeastern won five events and had the meet’s other double winner, senior Jeremiah Wright. Wright set a record in the 110 hurdles with a :14.32 in pacing runner-up teammate sophomore Zach Bray (:14.99), and Wright also took the 300 hurdles in: 40.22. 

The Royals boasted a pair of relay victories by winning both the 4×800 – an 8:08.96 from junior Pat Parks, sophomore Alan Wise, junior Jason Kemmerer, and junior Chris Pender graft – and the 4×400 (Wright, sophomore David Calhoun, sophomore Warren Clayton, and senior Matt Rip) in 3:29.93.

Junior Nick Blackwell led a 1-2 HSE sweep in the pole vault with a 12-00.00, pacing runner-up sophomore teammate Nathan Shuck (11-06.00).

Westfield won two events: senior Dominick Dean with a 51-02.50 in the shot put and senior Nigel Spears with a 22-02.75 in the long jump.

Fishers senior Sean won the 100 in :11.01, while Noblesville sophomore Daniel Purvlicis took the high jump with a 6-04.00. 

Next up for Carmel and several of the other county schools is the Noblesville Relays May 11.
