The Soldotna Stars swept the girls and boys team titles Saturday at the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District track and field championships in Homer.
The SoHi boys won 11 of 17 total events to crush the competition with 272 team points, while runner-up Kenai Central had 64. In the girls team race, SoHi picked up six event victories to finish with 191 points, besting the 134 of runner-up Kenai.
The Soldotna boys triumph included a full sweep of all four relays, a sprint double by junior Ben Booth and a throwing double by senior Cody Nye.
Booth continued his season trend of fast times with wins in the boys 100- and 200-meter dashes. Booth led a top-five sweep for Soldotna in the 100 and a 1-2 finish in the 200 with sophomore teammate Eli Cravens. Booth also was part of the 400- and 800-meter relay wins, joining Trenton O’Reagan, Robert Mize and Cravens in the 400 relay and Wyatt Medcoff, Chris Edelman and Cravens in the 800 relay.
Nye won both the shot put and discus throws, leading a SoHi 1-2-3-4 in the shot and a 1-2-3 finish in the discus. Nye’s toss of 48 feet, 11.5 inches, in the shot was a personal best.
On the girls side, Kenai senior Hayley Maw mirrored Booth’s accomplishment with a girls sweep of the 100 and 200 sprints. Maw edged out Homer sophomore Laura Inama in both races to claim both races. Maw also was part of the winning 400-meter relay for Kenai, joining teammates Kylie-Anne Raye, Savanna Wilson and Chelsea Plagge.
Kenai senior Jaycie Calvert helped pull in a chunk of points for the Kardinals with a three-race sweep of the distance events, winning the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 races. Calvert’s times of 2:28.97 in the 800 and 5:21.0 in the 1,600 were season bests for her.
Kenai found just as much distance success on the boys side as well. Sophomore Maison Dunham won the 800 and 3,200 races, while freshman Samuel Roberts won the 1,600 with a PR of 4:50.87.
In the girls shot put, Soldotna junior Ituau Tuisaula won with a PR of 41 feet, 3 inches, which put her just 6.25 inches behind the current state leader Alissa Pili of Dimond.
