Cougars top relays

Mountain View sophomore Sean Wilcox soared 42 feet to win the boys triple jump Thursday at the Mountain View Cougar Relays.

Mountain View, Gilchrist and Chiloquin competed in the non-scoring event designed as a fun break in the season. Several other teams originally scheduled to take part in the meet canceled due to weather.

”Kids got dressed up in goofy clothes,” said Mountain View boys coach Tate Metcalf. ”It’s great for all the kids to let their guard down and have a fun meet like this.

”This was definitely a low-key, fun meet.”

The Cougars’ Ryan Roque won the boys long jump with a mark of 20 feet. Gilchrist’s Dominic Chapman was first in the boys high jump, clearing 6 feet.

For the girls, Mountain View’s Crissy Cragger won the long jump with a leap of 14-8.

Mountain View won all the relays except the sprint medley won by Gilchrist with teams from each school made up in many in cases with athletes who don’t normally participate in running events.
