FAIRFIELD – The only thing that kept the Little River track/field teams from dominating the road meet on Tuesday at Fairfield was Inman as the Little River boys finished a distant second to the Teutons while the Little River girls won the team title over Inman by just six team points, 160-154.

In the boys meet, the Redskins finished second as a team with 107 points which was still 117 points behind the Teutons winning total of 224.50.

The Redskin boys scored a couple of strong first-place performances out of Andrew Smith in the high jump and Treyton Olander in the 1,600 meters while also scoring a second-place finish in seven total events.

For the girls meet, the Lady Redskins used eight first-place finishes of which six were individual wins to gain the final six-point team victory over Inman.

Besides the wins in both the 4×100 and 4×400 meter relays, the Little River girls recorded first-place finishes in the long jump by Elsie Boughfman, the triple jump with Alaina Eck, the javelin with Lily Boughfman, the 800 meters with Ashley Stephenson, the 1,600 meters with Aubrey Olander and Kami Grasser in the 200 meters.

The Redskin track/field teams are scheduled to participate in a meet at Lyons on Friday.
