Morgantown swept the Mountaineer Showcase at Mylan Park Friday, as both the boys’ and girls’ teams overwhelmed both field and track events.
The girls’ team took first with 141 points, while Buckhannon-Upshur (83) and Preston (61) came in second and third, respectively.

Lea Hatcher added 10 points to MHS’s overall score with a win in the 1,600 (5:08), and Irene Riggs picked up another distance win in the 3,200, easily defeating her opponents in 10:24 — nearly 40 seconds faster than second-place finisher Allie Martin (Preston).
The girls’ 4×100 meter and 4×200 relay teams rounded out running event wins for the Mohigans, while Morgan Ryan added the final win in pole vault at 2.89 meters.

UHS’s Larry Josh Edwards secured the only individual track win for the Hawks in the 3,200 meter at 8:49. The win, though the only one for UHS, was good to snap the event’s state record. UHS’s 4×800 relay team picked up the Hawks’ final running win of the day. Daminn Cunningham rounded out University’s wins in the long jump, hitting 6.73 meters.
Clay-Battelle senior Chase Ammons picked up a win in the 800 meter at 2:01 and was the only win for a Cee-Bee.
