Sheffield’s Emma Roell won discus.

“Our girls showed up today and really competed hard,” said Warren coach Kevin Dustin. “We had some new district qualifiers, which is always great to see. Our boys team was really challenged by a strong Eisenhower team in which the scoring came down to the wire. They have a really strong group there. A big congrats to all the kids who competed as it was nice to see a conjoined effort to getting everyone to improve. We have a lot of good kids in this county and remembering that it’s about them and coming together is what its all about. The kids do a great job of showing us that.”

In the Warren boys’ 77-74 team win over Eisenhower, Warren’s Sam Lindell and Quinn Norris finished 1-2 in the 1600, and Lindell won the 3200. Norris was second in the 800 to Eisenhower’s Joe Mistretta.

Also for Ike’s boys team, Ryan Chambers finished first in the 100 (11.84 seconds to 11.94 from Sheffield’s Colby Barr) and the 200, finishing 1-2 with teammate Easton Fitzgerald. Chambers also joined Fitzgerald, Case Seymour and Bryceton Wilkins to win the 4×100 relay.
