The Whitehall track team got some spring cleaning in early with a sweep over Allentown Central Catholic last week.

The boys won 104-46, while the girls won 114-36.

Head coach James Sebesta said that he was impressed with their performance in the jumps for both the boys and the girls, an area of strength he outlined in the preview article.

The boys swept all three jumps, while the girls swept the long jump and won the high jump. Those wins totaled 27 points for the boys and 19 points for the girls.

The girls also asserted their dominance in the sprints, with Amanda Crooks winning the 100 and 200 meters. Crooks won the 100 in 12.3, while teammate Kylee Cunningham was second at 13.2.

Crooks was part of a sweep in the 200, finishing in 26.6, while Helen Smith was second at 28/3 and Brianna Parker was third at 28. 7.

Anna Gallina continued their success in the middle distances, whining the 400 in 1:05.8, while Jessica Kroboth was third at 1:08.

The 800 was won by Kassidy Cunningham in 2:44.8, while Alexandra Dorner came in second at 2:50.6.

Juanita Flores and Rachel Herr took second and third in the mile, respectively while Hannah Gill finished second in the 3,200 at 13:44.

The girls swept the high hurdles as Jill Kreglow, Alyssa Holland and Madelyn Mertz finished in that order. Kreglow hit the tape in 17.4. Holland won the Intermediate hurdles and Mertz was second.

The girls also won two of the three relays. They were first in the 4x100 and 4x400, with winning times of 52.3 in the 4x100 and 4:31.6 in the 4x400.

Senior Ivanna Jones led the way in the jumps, winning both the high and long jumps. She was also part of the winning 4x100 team that also featured Crooks, Kylee Cunningham and Taylor George.

Jones cleared the high bar at 4-9 for the win. Sebesta said that while she didn’t participate in indoor track because of basketball, she’s almost at the point where she needs to be.

“She knows what she needs to do,” said Sebesta.

His main concern is keeping her fresh.

Sebesta was also encouraged by his whole jumping team, noting that they all cleared the opening height. He said that’s a credit to coaches Mark Dobil and Derek Martinez who work with the kids every day.

The field events were strong as well for the Zephs. They swept the pole vault with Amber Myers taking first with a vault of 6-6.

Vanessa Hadeed was another multiple winner for the Zephs. She won the shot put (31-10) and the discus (87-3). In the javelin, Hayley Arner was tops with a 94-2 mark, while Logan Miller placed second at 88.

Hadeed has been a solid points producer in the throws the last two years.

“She’s just consistent,” said Sebesta.

For the boys, aside from the jumpers, Sebesta thought the boys really pulled through in the throws. One of those was Phil Reeves who won the shot with a 41-5 toss. Sebesta said that he improved his average significantly to grab those five points. He had been averaging around 35 feet in practice, but when the spotlight was on, he delivered with the 41-5 throw.

Jackson Buskirk was another thrower who impressed. He won the event with a 152-07 mark. The discus was won by Tyler Meyers who landed a 127-ft throw.

As for the jumps, the high jump was won by Javaughn Hussett who cleared 6-1. Charles Hudson and Ryan Klaugh were second and third, respectively to complete the sweep.

The long jump was won by Dez Boykin (18-09), while Hudson and Nicholas Rackus completed the sweep in that event for the Zephs.

The pole vault was another area where the Zephs shined. They swept the event with Elliot Winer taking first with a 10-3 mark, while Gavin Wood was second (9-3) and Jordan Rivera third (8-3).

In the sprints, Boykin took first in the 100 with an 11-3 mark, while Nicholas Kovalchick was second in the 200 (23.6), followed by Brandon Jones who finished third.

Kovalchick also competed in the winning 4x400 relay team along with Calvin Schneck, Andrew Hawk and Jahrod Amoroso. They won in 3:57.

In the 800, Schneck took the five points for the Zephs, giving him another win in that event for his career. He hit the tape in 2:20.5. Hawk was second, finishing with a 2:21.7 mark.

The 3,200 was won by Daniel Jablonski in 11:52.

Finally, the high hurdles were won by Amoroso who finished in 15.4. He was also third in the intermediate hurdles (45.7), while Hudson finished second (44.7).

Sebesta thought they performed well, especially since it was the first time in a varsity meet for a lot of the athletes.

“I thought everybody did really well,” he said.

Finally, the triple jump was won by Buskirk (36-10), while Devon Martinez and Tavion George rounded out the top three.
