WILLIS – Bedford made it a clean sweep.
The Mules took both the boys and girls titles at Saturday’s Lincoln Railsplitters Invitational on Saturday, April 25.
The scores were nearly identical.
The boys scored 130.5 with Grosse Pointe South second at 110.
The girls racked up 129 points to eclipse the host team by 24 oints.
“We had a great day,” said girls coach Tyler Fairchild. “Our field events were huge. Helen Brady was first (discus) and second (shot-put) in the throws and we had three long jumpers place. That set the tone early.”
Brady threw a personal-bst 91-10 in the discus.
Taya Croley, Rachel Burley and Marley Cousino went 3-5-10 in the long jump and Arianna Ali won the pole.
Iva Ravindra had a pair of season bests in winning the 3,200 and taking second in the 1,600.
Croley also was fourth in the 100 and Burley fifth in the 200. Those two ran with Sophya Cole and Kennedy Varner on the second-place 400 relay.
The Mules were third in both the 1,600 and 3,200 relays with Spohia Johnson, Maliah McKibben, Sophia York, Kayloni Nunez, Grace Fredericks, Miranda Fulop, Aubrey Pakulski and Aubrey Miscikowski running legs.
AJ Varner swept the hurdle races to lead the boys while Dane Hieronimus finished first in the 3,200.
The Mules finished 2-3-4 in the pole vault with Cain Cole, Anrew Nelson and Ryan Nelson.
Other seconds came from Cameron Varner (1,600) and Masyn Moran (shot-put). Logan Thomas placed third in the 400, Sawyer Pienta was fourth in the shot-put and fifths came from Bryce McCloud (400) and Jacob Spoonmore (long jump).
