Ronaldihno Sevilla, Nicolas Bibian, Josh Buenaventura and Martinez-Miranda won the 4x800 relay (9:35.79). “We’ve had a good start to the season,” Logan coach Brian Morrill said. “Our results are improving, and we are hopeful our athletes can keep trending in the same direction as the weather begins to cooperate. We have several athletes that have turned in personal bests so far in less than ideal conditions.” Morrill talked about some of the athletes that have stood out on the young season. “Three high jumpers have improved on their personal bests with Ashanta Curry at 5-2, Nickenson Hyppolite at 6-1 and Elliot Baldini at 6-foot. Jackson Wicker is already a foot over his best from last year with a vault of 11-6,” he said. “Our throwers are young but improving. RJ Clem and Gabe Coon have set personal bests this year and Khloe Wells and Lily Clem are both freshmen and are adjusting to high school competition. We have a very young throwing group with most of our better throwers being freshmen and sophomores. “Alette Woodhouse has a 5:45 1600 meter time posted and a 2:45 in the 800 meter but those results have been into strong headwinds and temperatures in the high 30s. Our distance runners are beginning to see time drops and we expect to see their times come down as we get some better weather. “Elliot Baldini is participating in track for the first time since junior high and has made the boys sprint events stronger. “Ashanta Curry, Adyson Porter, Brianna Chery, Jada Paul, Cecilia Rico, Jackson Wicker, Landon Morock, Daniel Milburn and Vigensley Merjuste have been other top performers in the sprints, hurdles and long jump this season.”
