Eddie O’Neill/Daily Mining Gazette The Lake Linden-Hubbell girls track team poses after winning the D3 regional meet on their home field Friday afternoon.

LAKE LINDEN — Friday’s D3 Regional track meet at Lake Linden-Hubbell High School looked a lot like last year as the Lake Linden-Hubbell (LL-H) girls team and the Bessemer boys team both won for the second year in a row. Bessemer took first with a score of 86 points. They were followed by Lake Linden, who had 57.5 and were followed by the boys from Dollar Bay who scored 15.5 total points.

For the girls, the hometown Lakes tallied 82 points and were followed by Chassell who had 32 and Ontonagon who scored 25.

“It was a team effort today and a great one at that,” said LL-H’s girls coach Gary Guisfredi. “It took a lot of hard work, and it has paid off as we are headed to the U.P. Finals.

On the track, the Lakes dominated. The girls took first place in six of 12 events. These included team events such as the 800-meter relay and the 1600-meter relay.

That’s the way it should work, at least according to Guisfredi.

Guisfredi did note the accomplishments of two of his runners, Joslynn Perala and Mariah Willmer. Perela, a quick sprinter, won both the 200-meter and 100-meter dashes while Willmer took first in the longer 400 and 800-meter runs.

In the field, the LL-H girls were equally impressive. Jamie Hendrickson won the high jump while Camryn Crouch took first in the pole vault. Willmer jumped her way to the top spot in the long jump.

For Bessemer, the repeat victory was the sign of another good seasonaccording to their coach Mark Mazzon.

“We’ve had a great year,” he said. “We had a lot of kids return, and they just got stronger.”

The boys from Bessemer dominated on the track. Uriah Aili won the 800-meter, 1600-meter and clocked an impressive 10:09.50 in the 3200-meter run. Jamie Jett took first in both the 110-meter hurdles and the 200-meter run.

In the field, Tyler Busch threw an impressive 46-feet-6 shot put and Zach Baross tied a 1982 school record in the pole vault with a 13-feet-2 vault.

“I am so proud of these guys. They’ve worked hard,” said Mazzon. “We want to stay healthy for the next two weeks and get ready for the U.P. Finals.”

The U.P. Finals will be held in Kingsford on Saturday, June 1. The Bessemer Speedboys have won the U.P. Finals for the last two years. Interestingly, so have the Lakes. With that in mind, Lake Linden’s Guisfredi is confident that they can make it three in a row.

“It’s exciting, he said. “We are taking a lot of kids to the U.P. Finals. We hope we can compete, and we expect to.”
