ALMA — The Onekama boys track and field team placed third among Division 4 competition on Saturday at the Alma College Scottie Classic while its female counterpart placed fourth.

The Portager boys scored 664 points for fifth overall in the 28-team meet that consisted of teams from all four divisions, while the girls scored 472 for 10th of 29 teams overall.

The meet ran schools of all sizes together, and awarded medals for a top-three finish in each event in each division.

“It was a chance to run against kids from all divisions, so obviously the competition is very good,” said Portager boys coach Tony Shrum. “All the races were really competitive all the way through.”

The Onekama boys were paced by a Division 4 win in the 1,600-meter run as Michael Belinsky, Shane Peterson, Paul Hayes, and Reilly Merrill finished in the time of 3:47.60.

  

Also medaling for the Portagers were Jordan Coe, Justin Solis, Jonas LaMont, and Merrill in the 400-meter relay (2nd, 46.66); Merrill, Coe, Solis, and Nick Streeter in the 800-meter relay (2nd, 1:36.71); Streeter in the 100-meter dash (3rd, 11.83); Belinsky in the 110 hurdles (3rd, 18.59), John Girven in the 3,200 (3rd, 10:15.25); and Seth Harrington in long jump (3rd, 17-foot-3 1/4).

The Onekama girls won the 400-meter relay for Division 4 as Meredith Hengy, Alycia Peterson, Alyson Fink, and Nisha Collins finished in the time of 53.50.

Also medaling were Collins in the long jump (3rd, 15-10) and Hengy in the 100-meter hurdles (3rd, 17.86).

“I was pleased with the way the kids ran,” said Onekama girls coach Nathan Bradford. “They had some tough competition, and hopefully they used it as a stepping stone to get ready for regionals.”
