ADAMS TWP — Jacob Boy had plans to go turkey hunting with his father in New York this weekend.

But a stopover at the Mars Track and Field Invitational proved to be very productive.

The Moniteau senior captured a pair of first places in the discus (155 feet, 7 inches) and javelin (163-6) and bagged a third-place finish in the shot put (49-10Z\x), all personal bests.

It also allowed Boy to win the Field MVP award with 26 points, edging Trinity's Mike McClelland, who won the high and long jumps.

"We've cranked up the intensity," said Warriors head coach Mark Kosick. "We think he definitely us a 50-plus shot putter. ... He has to convince himself.

"In the disc, he still has a lot of flaws. If he gets there and straightens it out, he'll do fine," he added.

Boy's success came in various stages of the meet. He recorded his winning javelin toss on his first attempt, while his top discus throw came on the second-to-last attempt.

"I know there's a lot left in me. It's just a matter of getting it out," said Boy.

Several meet records fell, including in a 1,600 relay sweep by the Seneca Valley boys and girls squads. In both, the Knoch squads also bettered the previous records, but the Knights finished second.

The Raiders boys foursome of P.J. Blinn, Hunter Williams, Mike Hughes and Dave Mellon set the standard with a time of 3 minutes, 24.51 seconds.

Blinn, who won the 100 (11.14), also helped the Raiders tie the 400 relay record of 43.43. He was joined by Adam Hetzel, Chris Baxter and Mike Martin in that event.

"I was hoping for under 11 with the (Fully Automatic Timing)," Blinn said about the 100. "It was a little windy when I ran.

"In the 400 relay, I ran the last 20 meters on my own. Everything went well," he added. "That was our best time and the school record is 43.3. Our goal is to get under 43 at the end of the year."

The other Butler County boys winner was Seneca Valley's Mitch Codd, who won the pole vault by clearing 14-0, which was six inches ahead of runner-up and teammate Dylan Bilka, and Freeport's Nick Gentile, who won the 800 (1:57.49).

"I felt really good, but I didn't jump like I wanted to," said Codd, whose personal best is 14-6.

"I've wanted 15 for the past four meets. It's not there, but I'm feeling it's close," he added.

Gentile, the Class AA champion from last season, knows he must drop his time down another level.

"With our dual meets, I didn't get the strongest competition," he said. "I came in here and I knew there were a lot of good schools. I have to go hard in all my events today."

Gentile was third in the 400, third in the 1,600 relay and fourth in the 400 relay.

The Yellowjackets finished runners-up to Quad A North Hills 59-57 while the Raiders were third at 56 points. Knoch (43) and Moniteau (40) finished fifth and sixth, respectively.

"We don't come here to win trophies," said Freeport coach Bill Dillen. "We try and run the best times and get seed times."

In the girls meet, the Raiders edged Knoch for second place 54C\v-54 due to the 1,600 relay finish. Like the boys meet, the North Hills squad prevailed with 82 points.

The Seneca Valley relay team of Erin Lopresti, Haley Fox, Kate Kelly and Madison Kozlowski broke the meet record with a time of 4:02.13.

Like the Raiders boys, the girls won the 400 relay. Kozlowski and Kelly were joined by Sabrina Mitchell and Sarah Stevens in the victory.

"That's exciting stuff," said Seneca Valley coach Ray Peaco. "There were a lot of good individual performances.

"Our girls didn't make the (WPIAL) team playoffs and they sneaked in here and got second," he added. "That gives them something to be proud about."

Other first-place winners included Knoch's Regina Robb in the 300 hurdles (46.28) and teammate Allyson Cress in the shot put (38-6Z\x).

Robb also placed second in the 100 hurdles (15.56) and as a member of the 1,600 relay team. Cress was second in the discus (105-10).

"I gave my all and I was focused on the 100 hurdles, but I made a few mistakes," said Robb. "That ruined my chances for a win, but that's all right. I can fix it."
