CALUMET — It was a day for setting school records for girls’ track and field teams as seven were established in the Second Annual Dan Juntilla Memorial Invitational Tuesday.

Negaunee, which gained two of those, earned top honors with 193 points, followed by Houghton 99 and Kingsford 60.

The Negaunee boys also won with 148 points and Houghton edged Kingsford 124-122 for runner-up honors.

Houghton senior and Bay College cross country recruit Lily Ross won the 800-meter run in a school-record 2:24.76, followed by Hancock senior Ella Keranen at 2:32.3 and Kingsford freshman Maria Murvich (2:33.9), both personal-bests on this sunny and mild day.

“I’ve been trying to get that all season,” Ross said. “I was kind of in shock when I found out I got the record. I wanted to get it today. There were a lot of fast times today which made it feel like a fast meet.”

The top four finishers in the 1600 ran personal-best times, led by Houghton junior Tessa Rautiola in 5:33.84. She was followed by Murvich (5:43.22), Kingsford junior Olivia Wescott (6:19.65) and senior Iona Schilton (6:21.33).

“I felt pretty good today,” Murvich said. “I was a little nervous, but if you’re not nervous, you’re not ready. Tessa is a very tough runner. It was fun tagging along with her in the 800. It was a pretty good day.”

Negaunee sophomore Keira Waterman won the 200 in a school-record 26.62, topping the former best (26.75 for 220 yards) from 1975. She also captured the 400 (59.77) and anchored the winning 1600 relay (4:17.41), both season-bests.

“Our 4×400 relay got a season-best by 11 seconds,” she said. “It was a great feeling to end the meet that way. We switched the order and felt like we gave it our all. I feel so happy about getting the record in the 200. At the regional, I didn’t have enough recovery time. I felt a little sense of relief to get back under a minute in the 400. The warmer weather helped as well. It was perfect weather for running.”

Waterman added a first in long jump at 16-2½. Dollar Bay sophomore Laila Bell placed second with a school-record leap of 16-2 with Negaunee junior Nori Korsman third at 16-0.

“The weather definitely helped,” Bell said. “I started long jump midway through the season and got a school record the first time. I told our coach I wanted to try it and I was surprised and excited. We have a lot of good girls on our team. It’s just a matter of getting the team points. It’s definitely less stressful going into the U.P. (Division 3) Finals, knowing that I got what I wanted.”

Junior teammate Kiera Isaacson won high jump at 5-2, edging Hancock freshman Azura Aho on a tie-breaker. This marked a school-record for Aho, who soared two inches higher than West Iron County freshman Bristol Shamion.

“I like the warmer weather,” Isaacson said. “My legs tend to get tight in cold weather. I’ve been pretty steady with going over 5-2. It was good to have that competition before the Finals. Azura and I are friends. I’m happy for her. I’m also pretty happy about our 800 relay getting a school record (1:56.36) and 400 relay running a season-best (55.91).”

Aho was naturally elated with her school-record jump.

“I feel my approach and form have gotten better,” she said. “This is a nice surface to jump on. This is also a real big confidence builder before the (D-2) Finals.The warmer weather helped a lot. I think I need to arch my back and kick my heels a little more to go higher.”

Houghton senior Emilyn Fay took pole vault (10-0) and shot put (29-9¼).

In pole vault, Korsman was second with a school-record leap of 9-8. Baraga junior Elisa Delene cleared a school-best 9-6 and Bell was fourth at a personal-best 8-6 and senior Nora Keranen, who helped Dollar Bay set its school record in the 800 relay, took fifth at a season-best 8-0.

“We’re very excited about Nori and Kiera getting school records,” Negaunee coach Vickie Paupore said. “Our 200 record was 50 years old when it was still measured in yards (220). Until now that was the only school record we didn’t have while I’ve been coaching. It was a good day all around. We had so many PRs (personal records). I think this will give us momentum and confidence going into Saturday (U.P. D-1 Finals at Kingsford).”

Sophomore Sadie Rogers provided the Miners with firsts in the 100 hurdles (16.24) and 300s (47.14) and anchored the winning 400 relay.

Miners’ senior Macyn Dellangelo copped the 100 (12.98) with freshman teammate Elvera Coyne runner-up with a personal-best 13.12.

In the 200, Rogers was second (27.34) and Dellangelo took third at 27.75, also a PB.

Negaunee senior Brady Mager won four boys’ events, taking the 110 hurdles (15.93), 300s (40.53), 200 (23.06) and high jump (6-0), edging Dollar Bay sophomore Baron Colbert on a tie-breaker.

“It was a good day with good weather,” the UW-Parkside recruit said. “The U.P’s are coming up and coach (Kyle Bell) said the hay’s in the barn. It’s just a matter of getting ready for Saturday and the team win makes it better. Houghton has a good team. This is a big win for us. Hopefully, this is a momentum builder for Saturday. The girls are awesome for sure. Hopefully, they can win on Saturday.”

Bell is optimistic, but also realistic about the Miners’ chances.

“Marquette will be extremely difficult to beat,” he said. “The boys did great today. The nice weather makes a big difference. Brady and Derek (McEachern) are our big two. We got a lot of PRs and places. We’re excited.”

McEachern captured the 400 (52.77), anchored the winning 1600 relay and placed fourth in the 200 (23.43).

In the 400, he was followed by Houghton junior Ben Hemmer (53.8) and Dollar Bay senior Josh Gaunt (53.96), both PRs.

Houghton senior Luke Hill took the 800 (1:59.74).

Kingsford sophomore Blake Tomasoski copped the 1600 (4:45.02), just .07 second ahead of Houghton senior Birk Seagren. Negaunee junior Simon Jaklin broke five minutes for the first time, finishing in 4:52.17.

Tomasoski also won the 3200 (10:24.06), also a PR, followed by Houghton freshman Brandon Van Karsen (10:49.32) and Jaklin (11:09.7).

Calumet senior Matt Fratii was a double-winner, taking shot put (49-¼) and discus (148-8½) and sophomore Keith Koivisto took pole vault (10-6).

Kingsford sophomore Gaige Sorenson won long jump (20-½). Calumet senior Braydon Krans was runner-up with at a PB (19-10) and Negaunee sophomore Kyle Waterman was third (19-1¼).
