DAYTON - Gervais and St. Paul were among seven teams that competed at Dayton High School on Wednesday.
As a team, the Buckaroos excelled, placing second for the girls and fifth for the boys.
While Gervais had success on an individual basis, team scores for the Cougars trailed the competition, as they placed fifth for the girls and seventh for the boys.
Michelle Wilson and Katlyn McKillip won individual events for the St. Paul girls, while the 4x100-meter relay team of Taylor Brentano, Britney Petrjanos, Hayden Smith, and Dani Riggleman also placed first, with a time of 57.08 seconds.
Wilson won the discus (104 feet, 10 inches) and placed fourth in the shot put (31-5).
McKillip won the high jump (4-6) and placed fourth in the triple jump (28-2.5).
For Gervais, Mary Dewar led the way, winning the shot put (35-9) and placing second in the discus (102-3).
Dewar, known more for her strength, than her speed, also placed eighth in the 100 (14.67).
Other top finishers for St. Paul included Julie Drescher, who took second in the 100 (13.31) and pole vault (8-3), and Riggleman, who placed third in the 300 low hurdles (59.35) and fourth in the 100 high hurdles (22.89).
