Magnolia nudged out El Dorado in both boys and girls Thursday in an abbreviated Oil Belt Relays at Memorial Stadium.
The Lady Panthers won the girls title by a narrow margin of 105 to 90.
Due to the wet conditions, long jump, triple jump, shot and discus were not contested at the meet.
Glenbrook (63), Parkview (59), Watson Chapel (48), Pine Bluff (38), Camden Fairview (29), Haynesville (21), Parkers Chapel (19), Bearden (15) and Hermitage (7) rounded out the girls scores.
El Dorado’s Breya Clark won the girls high point award, compiling 40.5 points.
Glenbrook’s Emma Pitman was a distant second with 28.25 and Fairview’s Tai’sheka Porchia scored 28.
“Breya Clark brought home the high point award once again. As a coach, it’s just a blast to sit back and watch her compete,” said El Dorado girls coach John Koonce.
“She held off one of the best hurdlers in the state of Louisiana to win the 100-meter hurdles and then she built on that success the rest of the night.
“We had to make a meet day decision to cancel the long jump and triple jump so we put her in the 300 hurdles, an event she doesn’t normally do, to help boost our team score and she turned in a solid second place finish.
“She automatically qualified for state in the high jump and 100 hurdles today.”
Clark won the high jump (5-2), 100-meter hurdles (15.54) and 100-meter dash (13.0) and finished second to Porchia in the 300-meter hurdles.
Clark teamed up with Tajah Edmondson, LaDiamond Maker and Anastasia Brock to win the 4x100 relay.
Maker scored 22.5 points, finishing second in the high jump and 200 and fifth in the 100.
Andrell Brown was third in the 800. Gabrielle Cook was fourth in the 300 hurdles. Brock was sixth in the 400. Edmondson was seventh in the 200.
Cook, Talia Holmes, Jada Williams and Brown finished third in the 4x400.
“One very positive surprise for the night was Gabby Cook’s result in the 300 hurdles,” Koonce said.
“This was the first time she ever ran this event and she turned in a very respectable 52 seconds for a fourth-place finish. I look for her to improve on this time as the year goes by and she becomes more comfortable with the event.
“All in all, it was a great start to the year. We had a couple of meets canceled on us, so you never know what to expect with your first meet the week before spring break.
“You sometimes expect that first meet to be a little sloppy but the girls looked to be in mid-season form. Now we just have to build heading into conference.”
Leading the way for Parkers Chapel was Ali Looney, who finished second in the 800.
Jana Avery was fifth in the 3,200. Macie Wood was seventh in the 1,600.
Magnolia won the boys title with 105 points, outdistancing the Wildcats with 78.
Parkview scored 66 followed by Watson Chapel (63), Pine Bluff (62), Haynesville (59), Parkers Chapel (23), Fairview (13), Glenbrook (3) and Hermitage (2).
“The toughest thing about our meet is we weren’t able to compete in the throws or the long jump and triple jump,” said El Dorado boys coach Mike Sprawls.
“We feel like we left a lot of points that couldn’t get accomplished because of these two events. That put us at a major disadvantage.”
Magnolia’s Dandrea Green won the boys high point award with 22 points.
Pine Bluff’s Caleb Ruf scored 21.75 followed by Watson Chapel’s Deante Cooper and Travis Owens, who had 21 and 19.5, respectively.
Neeko Davis scored 16.5 to lead El Dorado. Davis won the high jump (6-0) and was second in the 400.
Chris Newton was third in the high jump and sixth in the 300 hurdles.
Hayden McDiarmid and Hudson McDiarmid finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 3,200.
Hayden McDiarmid was fourth in the 1,600. Austin Hutchens and Jaland Upshaw placed third and fourth, respectively, in the 800.
Shun Levingston was fourth in the 110 hurdles. Devunte Kidd was fourth in the 100. Davonte Yarbrough was sixth in the 400.
Davis, Will Artis, Newton and Caleb Scott took fourth in the 4x400.
Dylan Avant, Upshaw, Hutchens and Hudson McDiarmid finished fourth in the 4x800.
“I’m real pleased with our kids, this being our first meet,” said Sprawls. “Unfortunately, due to all this weather, we’ve had three consecutive weeks of meets canceled.
“The kids have done a good job. Overall, our meet was pretty successful. I’m fairly satisfied. Our times are quite what I wanted but our kids really competed hard.
“Some of the guys, Shun Levingston, I’m really proud of him. He’s come out his senior year, had about four months off with a broken ankle. He’s been competing for about four-to-five weeks now.
“He ran a really good hurdles time. I’m happy where he’s at. Devunte Kidd is another kid who has a little bit of an ankle problem. But, he ran a state qualifying time. He’s got nothing but a great future ahead of him. Chris Newton has run really well in the hurdles. I’m pleased there. Hayden and Hudson McDiarmid had really good days as did Austin Hutchens.”
Parkers Chapel’s Treyvon Jamerson was third in the 400 and seventh in the 100. Preston Stivender was fifth in the 800. Michael Brotherton and Korbin McAuliffe finished sixth and seventh, respectively, in the 3,200.
