CHESAPEAKE — The Coal Grove Hornets are going to need another hand.

The Hornets may have “won one for the thumb” in last year’s Ohio Valley Conference track meet, but they exceeded a one-hand limitation Saturday by winning a sixth straight league track and field meet.

The Hornets racked up 169 points to runner-up South Point’s 119. Fairland was third with 102 followed by River Valley with 63, Rock Hill 34 and Chesapeake had 30 points.

Coal Grove coach Jay Lucas said his team’s overall performance was the difference.

“God has blessed us with some talented young men,” said Lucas. “They really stepped up today and competed at a high level. I’m very proud of them.

“We had great balance. We had some great individual performances, but it really was a total team effort.”

Ian McFarland won the 100- and 200-meter dashes, was third in the pole vault and ran a leg on the second place 4×400 relay team to earn meet high point honors.

“Ian McFarland had a fantastic day. He has worked very hard and has earned his success. He’s a great young man,” said Lucas.

In the girls’ meet, Chesapeake won a tightly contested battle. The Lady Panthers had 110 points while South Point had 106.5 and Fairland 104.

River Valley finished its final OVC meet with 83.5 points, Coal Grove had 62 and Rock Hill 57.

The Lady Panthers’ Atiya Spaulding racked up three first-place wins in the 100- and 200-meter dashes as well as the high jump. She was fifth in the 400 meters to claim the girls’ high point honors.

Chesapeake’s Jordan Porter — one of the favorites to win the Division II state championship in the shot put — was a double winner. She threw the shot put 44-7 and hurled the discus 124-2.
