Prep Track and Field: Glancy lifts Bears; Mason boys snap streak

Alexa Glancy didn’t win the 400 meters Tuesday.

But she felt like a winner.

The Jefferson junior broke an 18-year-old record in the event and helped her track and field team earn a key Huron League victory over New Boston Huron.

Glancy was nipped in both the 100 and 400 meters by Huron’s record-setting Elizabeth Anderson.

But Glancy was a member of the Bears’ winning 800-meter relay that was a key factor in a 92-36 Jefferson victory.

She was clocked at 1:00.4 in the 400, easily eclipsing Katie McAbier’s school record of 1:01.2.

Alyssa Masserant (long jump, two relays), Veronica Fitzgerald (three relays), Jenna Pilachowski (1,600, 3,200), Madison McKinney (throws), Mia Schroeder (hurdles), Kim Miller (800, 3,200 relay), and Kirsten Vanisacker (two relays) all won multiple events for Jefferson.

“Our girls have really been running well in this cold weather,” said Jefferson coach Phil Speare said, whose team improved to 3-0 overall and in the Huron League. “I can’t wait to see what we can do when we get some decent weather."

Jefferson’s boys won 86-42 as Alex Mansfield swept the throws and Carter McCalister took the 1,600 and 3,200. Other individual winners were Garret Thomas (high jump), Ben Merkel (long jump), Blake Schroeder (800), Isaac Merkel (400) and Myles Tackett (200).

“Don't be deceived by the score,” Jefferson coach Josh Ludwick said. “Huron has weapons hidden all over this team. We were really focused on their sprints, but they tried to catch us off guard with their distance abilities. Lucky for us, our distance and field athletes did their jobs. Our sprinters and hurdlers ran against them very well.”

ERIE – Erie Mason’s boys halted Adrian Madison’s 49-meet winning streak in the Tri-County Conference in impressive fashion, winning 104-34 Tuesday.
