SOUTHPORT – Depth and outstanding performances in the field events April 25 led third-ranked Warren Central to victory on the boys side of the 32nd Annual Southport Relays.
The Warriors amassed 130 points to best second-place No. 14 Pike by 32 points in the six-team event, with unranked Fort Wayne Snider outdistancing 12th-ranked host Southport for third place by five points.
The final scores are a little deceiving. Warren Central did not dominate in number of events won, but the four-time state champion did use its depth to pull away for the win.
Warren Central won six of the 15 events, including three of the five field events. That showing in the field included the outstanding personal performance of the day as the Warriors’ Derrick Spight won the high jump with a leap of 6’10”.
That was a full six inches higher than any other competitor.
Southport won three events on the day, including a sweep of the individual sprints. TaJuan Wood won the 110-meter hurdles for the Cardinals, while Nick Turner of football fame won the 100-meter dash. The Cardinals also claimed the long jump with Julian Walker’s 21’ 01”.
Fellow Conference Indiana member Pike showed a great deal of depth as well. The Red Devils won just two events in the meet but easily outdistanced everyone but Warren Central for runner-up honors.
