SOUTH POINT — Not a lot changed as far as team champions, but some of the event records did.

The Rock Hill Redmen won the Ohio Valley Conference track championship for the third time in the past four meets and the Coal Grove Lady Hornets won a third straight title on Saturday.

Rock Hill won its first title in 41 years in 2018 and then again in 2019. The COVID-19 wiped out the meet in 2020 and Coal Grove’s boys claimed the title last year.

The Lady Hornets won their first OVC meet in 2019 and won it again in 2021 and this season.

But on the individual front, a total of four different records tumbled.

The Ironton Fighting Tigers’ quartet of Ethan White, Larondo Carter, Chianti Martin and Trevor Carter ran a 1:31.66 time to set a new conference record in the 4×200 meter relay.

The old record of 1:31.86 was set by Portsmouth in 2015.

Gallipolis’ Daunevyn Woodson ran a 10.799 time in the 100-meter dash to set a new OVC record.

Four different runners shared the 100-meter record at 10.8 seconds that included Coal Grove’s Oakie Haynes in 2010, Fairland’s Antwuane Brown in 2003, Chesapeake’s Robbie Isaacs in 1999 and South Point’s T.T. Johnson in 1990.

Woodson also won the long jump and the 200 meters. Rock Hill’s Tyson Lewis was right on Woodson’s heels in both the 100- and 200-meter races to finish runner-up.

The Coal Grove Lady Hornets 4×400 relay team set a school record earlier this season in the 4×400 relay but took it a step further by setting an OVC record in the same event.

Kylie Montgomery, Olivia Kingrey, Laura Hamm and Kylee Thomas were clocked at 4:05.71 to shatter the old mark of 4:19.7 set by Chesapeake in 2003.

Gallipolis pole vaulter Callie Wilson broke her own OVC record as she cleared 12 feet. She had set a new record last year at 10-7.

Other field event winners in the boys’ meet were Coal Grove’s Perry Kingrey in the discus at 146-9, teammate Dustin Lunsford in the shot put at 46-2.25, and Portsmouth’s Dariyonne Bryant in the high jump at 6-foot.

Besides being a member on the record-setting 4×200 relay team, Ironton’s Ethan White won the 400 meters at 52.14 seconds, just ahead of Rock Hill’s Brayden Adams at 52.8 seconds.

Portsmouth’s Charlie Putnam won the 800-, 1600- and 3200-meter races. Coal Grove’s Chase Hall won both the 110-meter hurdles (15.5 seconds) and the 300 hurdles (42.35).

Rock Hill won the 4×400 relay with Cameron Stevens, Hunter Blagg, Dylan Griffith and Adams running a 3:47.24 time.

Coal Grove’s quartet of Steve Easterling, Damien Price, Jeffrey Sparks and Elijah Dillon ran an 8:4424 to win the 4×800 relay.

Gallipolis took the 4×100 with Mason Skidmore, Braydn Simmons, Hunter Shamblin and Woodson clocked at 43.83 seconds.

Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers’ senior Emma Hall was a double winner as she took first place in the shot put (35-11.75) and the discus (112-10).

Chesapeake’s Emily Duncan was a double champion as well by winning the long jump at 15-5 and clearing 4-11 in the high jump.

Coal Grove Lady Hornets’ Kylee Thomas took gold in three events as she won first in the 200-meter dash (26.87 seconds), the 100-meter hurdles (16.15) and the 300-meter hurdles (48.49).

South Point Lady Pointers Elaysia Wilburn won the 100-meter dash.

Lady Hornets’ Elli Holmes crossed the finish line first in both the 1600- and 3200-meter runs. Teammate Laura Hamm was first in the 800 meters (2:27.27) and Kylie Montgomery was first in the 400 meters (1:00.46).

The Lady Hornets won all four relay events.

Kelsey Farley, Olivia Kingrey, Maddie McDaniel and Montgomery were first in the 4×100, McDaniel, Kingrey, Hamm and Montgomery the 4×200, Montgomery, Kingrey, Hamm and Thomas in the 4×400, and in the 4×800 it was Holmes, Abby Hicks, Allana Pemberton and Hamm.

Rock Hill won the boys’ meet with 135.5 points with Portsmouth second with 115. Taking third was Coal Grove with 114.5 followed by Gallipolis with 80, Fairland 76, Ironton 48,  Chesapeake 47 and South Point had 44.

In the girls’ meet, Coal Grove was the runaway winner with 161 points with Fairland second with 93.5 points. Chesapeake was third at 84.5, South Point 80.5, Gallipolis 78, Ironton 70, Rock Hill 68 and Portsmouth 28.
