First home invitational in 2 years yields school records/Top-10 marks

March 4-5
Milton HS
By Coach Andy Carr

The Eagle track & field teams of Milton hosted its big invitational track meet for the first time in 2 years and came away with two school records, besting an existing record and many top-ten performances for the home Eagles!

GIRLS
The Lady Eagles (4th-98 pts) bested 9 teams as Milton posted one new school record, multiple top-10 marks and improved on a current school record. Cross-town rivals Cambridge (1st-198 pts) won the meet quite handily. The successes for the Lady Eagles started right away as junior Farrah Frith took down the school record in the 5000m (1st-18:32.48) in the 2nd race of the meet by 19-seconds to win the event easily. Three big runner-up performances came from Jade Sutters (2nd-57.54) in the 400m which is now the #2 all-time performance in school history,* Jessica Sheinkopf* (2nd-12.84) in the 100m & then those two combined with Haydn Bendall & Nora Megenity on the 4×200m relay (2nd-1:48.46), lowering their school record by almost 2 full seconds!

BOYS
Milton (5th-89.5 pts) bested 7 schools over 2 days of some very intense competition that had multiple Eagle event winners and a new school record. The Bears of Cambridge (1st-155 pts) were the dominant meet winners. Cory Chambers led the charge as the Milton distance runner won a tactical 1500m (1st-4:22.34) in the 7th best time in school history and came back to finish runner up in the 2-Mile (2nd-9:53.88) besting the existing school record by over 4-seconds! Other event winners included Andrew Dassler in a season’s best in the pole vault (1st-14’) and remains undefeated on the season, a 1-2 finish in the long jump by Devon Dahunsi (1st-20’5”) & Jack Lawson (2nd-19’8.5”) with Dahunsi’s performance now 9th best in school history and Jaden Bender in the discus (1st-129’) which makes him the 5th best performer in school history!

Three Milton stadium records were also set during the competition by visiting schools with Johns Creek boys bettering their existing 4×200m relay record, Blessed Trinity’s girls setting a new 4×200m relay mark & a new 400m hurdles record was set by Dominick Lawshea of Cambridge.

Next up for the track & field teams is a JV invitational at Cambridge on Wednesday, March 9th & a first-ever trip to the Buffalo’s River Ridge Invitational on Saturday, March 12th.

The Eagle track teams again lowered some school records and set new top-10 school performance records as Milton was led by the Lady Eagles finishing runner-up at the Sawnee Mountain Invitational hosted by West Forsyth High School.

GIRLS
Milton (2nd-110 pts) bested 4 schools in finishing as the runners-up. Host West Forsyth (1st-237 pts) was the clear team champions. Leading the Lady Eagles was the new school record in the 4×200m relay (1st-1:49.20) which won the event outright and broke the old record by a full 3-seconds (1:52.22) that was set in 2012! Hayden Bendall, Nora Megenity, Jade Sutters & Jessica Sheinkopf won the fast section by just a half-second to snag the school record! Other top-10 marks achieved included Megenity in the triple jump (4th-32’-10.25”) moving from the 9th best to the 7th best all-time and Sutters in the long jump (1st-16’-7.5”) making her now the 5th best. Also helping lead the Lady Eagles were three event winners that included Genevieve Trainer in the 800m (1st-2:29.75), Ella Grace Malcom in the 3200m (1st-11:57.03) and the 8th best performance in school history by Farrah Frith in the 1600m (1st-5:18.00) which saw a Milton sweep of the top-3 spots! Following Frith were Megan Stechschulte (2nd-5:47.93) & captain Shelby Howerton (3rd-5:59.82).

BOYS
Not to be outdone by their female counterparts, Milton ‘s boys re-set the 4×200m relay (1st-1:32.51) school record by more than a full second (old record 1:33.72) set in 2020. The team of Devin Dahunsi, Ethan Hagel, Ved Rao & Jack Lawson were also the clear winners of the race by close to 4 seconds! Other meet winners included Andrew Dassler who began his comeback from injury with a win in the pole vault (1st-13’-06”) and the boys 4×100m relay team (1st-44.14) that included Dahunsi/Rao/Lawson & Robert Billings. Dahunsi also won the triple jump (1st-42’7”) earlier in the meet before his runs on both winning relay teams.

The Eagle track teams next see action on Wednesday, March 2nd at Centennial for a dual meet and then will host the Milton Showcase on March 4th & 5th! The 2-day meet will see close to 14 schools compete at the Nest.
