CENTRAL POINT — J.C. Grim won the high jump and triple jump, Danny Verdieck took first in the 110-meter hurdles and second in the 300 hurdles, and Joel Johnson captured first place in the pole vault Saturday as the Bend High boys won the 20-team Crater Classic track and field meet on Saturday.

The Lava Bears scored a meet-best 83.5 points to edge out host Crater (78 points), North Medford (67), and crosstown rival Mountain View (65), who placed second, third and fourth, respectively.

Hidden Valley won the girls meet with 75 points, narrowly defeating runner-up Crater (69 points) and third-place Mountain View (67).

“To win a big meet like this, you have to have kids win events,” Bend coach Matt Craven said. “And we won events.”

Grim, a senior, was a point-scoring machine Saturday, placing third in the javelin and fourth in the long jump in addition to his two victories in the jumps. He cleared 6 feet, 6 inches in the high jump, a two-inch personal record, and went 44-11 1/2 in the triple jump, another PR, on a surprisingly warm spring day at Crater High.

Mitch Modin was the man of the day for the Cougars. He won the long jump with a mark of 21-07 1/2, took second to Grim on misses in the high jump (6-06) and placed fourth in the 300 hurdles. Modin also ran a 50-second split while anchoring Mountain View’s 1,600-meter relay, helping the Cougars take second in 3:28.87.

Dimitri Dillard placed second in the long jump to Modin, Blake Bosch finished third in the high jump, and Hayden Czmowski finished third in the discus for the Mountain View boys.

In the girls competition, Cougar junior Anna Roshak won the shot put and recorded a runner-up finish in the discus to lead Mountain View, which ended the day just eight points out of first place. The Cougars’ 400-meter relay squad of Macaulay Wilson, Krysta Kroeger, Tash Anderson and Brian Bolster also won their race.

Bend senior Jessica Wolfe led the Lava Bear girls, who finished ninth, with a third-place effort in the 3,000. Additionally, Bend High teammates Emily Geddes and Tesla Wright placed third and fourth in the pole vault.
