PC boys roll in tri-meet

REO—Perry Central won 13 of 16 events to cruise to victory in a boys triangular track meet Tuesday.
The Commodores scored 99 points, South Spencer 38, and Southridge 30.
“South Spencer had some good athletes there and (Cody) Thompson of South-ridge was the regional champion in the high jump last year,” said Perry Central Coach Jason Barnett.
Thompson edged Perry Central’s Andrew Huber to win the high jump, 6-foot-2 to 6 feet.
And South Spencer’s Isiah Stokes won two events, including the 400 relay in which Perry Central was disqualified for an exchange out of the zone.
But the rest of the meet belonged to Perry Central.
