For nearly a decade and a half, it’s been the same story at the Hockomock League Indoor Track Championship Meet.
The Mansfield Hornets once again controlled the distance events along with the relays en route to a 116-point performance and their 13th consecutive league title on the boys side.
Rival North Attleboro were the runner-ups with 94 points and King Philip took the bronze with 52 points.
On the girls side, King Philip racked up 100 points for their first win at the event in at least 14 years.
For the boys, the Hornets dominated the middle and long distance events, taking wins in three out of the four longest distances. In the 600, Dean Jenssen (1:25.36) edged KP's Andrew Allen (1:25.94) to win the title, Mike Duggan won the mile (4:30.01), and a 1-2 punch in the 2-mile from Dan Romano (9:34.55) and Jake Affanato (9:48.79) gave the Hornets the top two spots in a comfortable manner.
Locking up the meet in the relays, the Hornets picked up 26 points out of the relays from wins in the 4x800 (8:23.32) and 4x400 (3:35.53) and a third place finish in the 4x200 (1:35.83).
Herman Kinds provided the Hornets with their only win in the field events, jumping 20-11.50 in the long jump. The Mansfield senior also picked up a third place finish in the 55 hurdles with a time of 8.11.
In the 1,000, Oliver Ames' Connor Donovan cruised to victory, finishing in 2:32.64.
North Attleboro took the 300 and 55 hurdles with wins by Andrew Hanwell (36.24) and Nathan Adeyemi (7.95).
Stoughton sprinter Clifton Gerring, took the title of fastest 55 meter runner, winning the dash in 6.72. The Black Knights' other win came in the shot put from Kevin Lucas’ throw of 48-01.
KP high jumper John Berdos leaped 6-03 to win the high jump.
Like the boys champions, King Philip would take the girls title with a similar mix of success in the distance and relay events.
The Warriors would earn wins in the three longest events from Gianna Bender in the 1,000 (3:04.77), Olivia Weir in the mile (5:18.67), and Abby Seaberg in the 2-mile (11:30.42)
In the relays, KP took first place in the 4x400 (4:12.63) and in the 4x800 (10:02.76). The Warriors finished third in the 4x200 (1:52.10). North Attleboro would win the 4x200 with a time of 1:48.03.
In the sprints, Hannah McNeil's 8.96 was good enough to win the 55 hurdles, edging North Attleboro's Stephanie Dubuc by a tenth of a second.
Renee Poirier provided KP win a win in the field events, throwing 36-04 in the shot put.
Mia Kamara of Sharon was a double victor, taking wins in the 55 dash (7.49) and the long jump (16-07).
In the 600, first place went to Rachel Stier of Mansfield with a time of 1:37.38.
Postseason qualifiers will be back on the track next weekend for the divisional championship meets.
