MIDDLETOWN >> The Middletown Mustangs honored their senior athletes during the final track and field home meet of the season Wednesday at Middletown High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mustangs hosted Calistoga, Sonoma Academy and St. Helena in a Coastal Mountain Conference meet that they thoroughly dominated, winning all four divisions \u2013 varsity boys, varsity girls, frosh-soph boys and frosh-soph girls. Kelseyville also was scheduled to compete but could not attend because of the Every 15 Minutes program taking place Wednesday at Kelseyville High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were celebrating senior night, which is always fun to highlight the athletes,\u201d Middletown head coach Wyatt Hall said. \u201cThis year I have 18 seniors on the team. Three of my senior 1,600-meter runners all ran the entire race together. Two of my senior pole vaulters got to 10 feet before they agreed to end in a tie as the meet was wrapping up and the wind was picking up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Kelseyville unable to participate, Middletown had more entries than all the other teams combined, according to Hall. That fact was certainly demonstrated in team scoring as the Middletown varsity boys finished with 207 points to Calistoga\u2019s 77, the varsity girls with 204 points to Sonoma Academy\u2019s 106, the frosh-soph boys with 109 points to Sonoma Academy\u2019s 87, and the frosh-soph girls with 144 points to St. Helena\u2019s 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varsity boys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Sanchez, one of the senior captains for the Middletown varsity boys, won three individual events and also ran a leg on the Mustangs\u2019 winning 4×100-meter relay team, replacing one of the team\u2019s regular runners who was unable to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanchez\u2019s individual wins came in the 400 (58.9 seconds), the 300 hurdles (47.0) and the pole vault where he tied teammate Bryton Caviness at 10 feet even. He joined Caviness, Seth Watson and Esteban Muniz on the 4×100 team (52.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe and senior Quinn Murray decided to run the 300-meter hurdles for fun,\u201d Hall said. \u201cAlong with Sanchez, each other member of the 4×11 team were multiple-event winners, all with at least one field event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muniz added wins in the high jump (4-10) and long jump (17-2) where he tied Calistoga\u2019s Julian Montanez for first. Caviness tied Sanchez in the pole vault while Watson also won the discus (117-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was great to see the relay team (members) show how well rounded they are as athletes,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varsity girls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a smaller meet for the girls, so we had a lot of event winners,\u201d Hall said. \u201cI could probably mention each girl on my team and talk about how well they did. We had many top-event finishers, led by Isa Barnes with three first-place finishes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnes won the 100 hurdles (17.7) and 300 hurdles (52.3) as well as the long jump (13-10). She also finished second in the high jump (4-0) behind winner Mia Hoogendoorn (4-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany girls set new PRs at the meet, but two of the biggest came in the throws,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krystal Ocken won the shotput with a personal-best throw of 33-10 \u00bd while Taylor Thompson won the discus with a personal-best throw of 93-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKrystal Ocken improved in the shotput, continuing a multi-meet streak of improving and now moving within 15 inches of the school record,\u201d Hall said. \u201cTaylor Thompson broke into the 90s with a big throw in the discus. That throw was more than a 15-foot improvement (for her).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middletown\u2019s other event winners were Thira Hoage in the 100 (13.7), Sophie Yebra in the 1,600 (6 minutes, 38.0 seconds), Cat Barriga in the pole vault (7-0) and the 4×100 relay team of Hoage, Hoogendoorn, Yebra and Casandra Padilla (59.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frosh-soph boys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan Caviness won the pole vault (9-0) and ran a leg on Middletown\u2019s winning 4×100 relay team (53.0) to help lead the Mustangs\u2019 frosh-soph boys squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDylan Caviness followed in his brother Bryton\u2019s footsteps winning the pole vault and running a leg on the 4×100 relay team,\u201d Hall said. (They Dylan and Bryton) both run the same leg, the third.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamieson Jackson added firsts in the 100 (12.2) and 200 (26.5) while Deangelo Yee won the discus (76-6) and Cale McLean won the high jump (5-0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frosh-soph girls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middletown\u2019s frosh-soph girls team had three double-event winners. Ally Cherry\u2019s firsts came in the 100 (20.2) and pole vault (5-6), Cora Krick topped the field in the 100 hurdles (20.2) and 300 hurdles (54.7), and Crystal Duval won the shotput (27-10 \u00bc) and discus (63-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middletown\u2019s other firsts went to Jolene Holley in the high jump (4-2) and Jadyn Owens in the long jump (11-11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
