MIDDLETOWN >> Middletown High School hosted an invitational track meet for field events only Friday at Bill Foltmer Field in Middletown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the Lake County schools were present except Clear Lake, and they were joined by Calistoga, Anderson Valley, Making Waves Academy (San Francisco), Ferndale and St. Bernard\u2019s Academy (Eureka).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-place medals were awarded in all events for boys and girls \u2013 shotput, discus, high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole vault. Of the 23 events, both varsity and frosh-soph, host Middletown came away with 12 medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was the first competition of the year for my team and I\u2019m happy with how they performed,\u201d Middletown head coach Wyatt Hall said of the Mustangs. \u201cWith the weather in February, we have not been able to practice our field events as much as we would like but my athletes didn\u2019t let that hold them back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standouts for Middletown were Dylan Caviness, who cleared 9 feet, 6 inches to win the varsity boys pole vault, an event where the top five finishers were all Mustangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile it\u2019s not a personal best, it\u2019s a great start to the season,\u201d Hall said. \u201cDylan qualified for the Meet of champions (in 2025) and is working toward that goal again this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the varsity girls division, Middletown\u2019s Isa Barnes won the triple jump (32-11.5, a personal best), placed second in the high jump (4-4) and third in the long jump (14-1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa added the triple jump to her arsenal in the offseason, and I think she\u2019s going to have a lot of success in the event,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the frosh-soph boys division, Middletown\u2019s Luke Mace won the long jump (19-8.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis jump would have even topped the varsity boys division,\u201d Hall said. \u201cLuke is a great athlete, and I am excited to see all he can accomplish this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the frosh-soph girls division, Middletown\u2019s Charlize Hill won the long jump (13-7, personal best).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHill is a very gifted distance runner who I am excited for this year, but this meet gave her a chance to show she has promise in the long jump as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Hall, \u201cOverall, I am proud of all of my athletes. The season has just begun, but it\u2019s looking good so far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
