“We’re off to a great start,” said Onekama boys coach Tony Shrum, whose team has won each of its first two outdoor meets. “I was really, really happy with how they did on Saturday.

“For the first invitational, you couldn’t ask for better performances.”

The boys totaled 104 points to win the event, edging second-place Traverse City St. Francis (86) and Manton (83) while Brethren took eighth with 29 points.

The Portagers placed first in the 400- and 3,200-m Relays.

The Onekama girls were runners-up in the event with 114 points while St. Francis took first with 149.

“For the most part, we were pleased,” Portagers girls coach Nathan Bradford said. “I think we had almost everyone PR.”

Onekama was paced by three first-place finishes in Keena Gilbert (3,200), Nisha Collins (long jump), and the 400-meter relay team of Alyson Fink, Alycia Peterson, Collins and Meredith Hengy.
