The Reeths-Puffer boys relay teams are showing a lot of promise as the athletes prepare to start the busy part of the season next week, following their return from spring break.
The Rockets’ 4x100 team (London Rankin, Marvin Moore, Emcee McLaurin, Artis Williams), 4x200 team (Ethan Vossekuil, Landon Howland, Fred Woods, Tanner Nash) and 4x400 team (Marvin Moore, London Rankin, Mason Darke, Ethan Rolewicz) all won their events at R-P’s final meet before spring break.
The R-P boys lost the dual meet to Byron Center, 87-50, but had a lot of positive results.
Mason Darke
Senior Mason Darke finished first in the 110-meter hurdles (14.37) and the 300-meter hurdles (38.86). His mark in the 110 hurdles was very close to the school record of 14.33.
R-P’s Marvin Moore took first place in the 200-meter dash with a 22.75 mark.
Taking second for the Rockets were Emcee McLaurin (200 meter dash), Evan McHugh (110 and 300 hurdles), Jamichael Williams (high jump) and Jonathon Visscher (long jump).
London Rankin
Third place finishers were London Rankin (100 meter dash), Ethan Rolewicz (110 and 300 hurdles), Hudson Roberts (discus) and Evan McHugh (pole vault).
“We were really happy with the effort and performances from all the athletes, as many personal records were established,” said R-P boys track coach Don Ketner.
The Rockets will return to action on April 14 at Mona Shores.
