The best was saved for last at Monday’s Kiwanis All-Comers Track Meet, the third of the year, at Bainbridge High School, as eight teams took to the track for the final event: the 4×100 relay.
The coed high school cross country team — Reuben Allen, Akio Hansen, Sawyer Blair, Emma Brundige — finished with the best time, 57.4.
Standout performances marked nearly every event from the start, said meet organizer Paul Benton.
“In the opening jogger’s mile, recent Bainbridge High graduate Ryan Cox, fastest cross country runner in school history, lapped almost everyone, casually pacing an easy — for him — 5:56,” he said.
Ultimately though, Cox did not win the initial event. It was 10-year-old Caleb Nelson who best matched his prediction with a 7:13 finish, just two seconds under his predicted time. Cox, while speedy, was four seconds slower than predicted.
“This week’s individual star was 8-year-old Ryoko Tsuge,” Benton added. “Who won all five events she entered, then, immediately following her fast 400-meter race, found enough energy to join her friends on a relay team.”
Brooke Anderson, 5, and Abigail Schnee, 6, each won four events, while Fiona Livingston, 4, Darya Dennon, 7, and Sky Henderson, 11, won three.
“On the boys’ side,” Benton said, “Everett Moore won five events, though against less competition than Ryoko.
“Jack Thompson, 9, was first in four events, while Mason Burch, 3, Christopher Bourgeois, 4, Jacob Stieplemann, 7, Julian Roger, 8, and Cole Hendricks, 11, each won three.”
The next Kiwanis All-Comers Track Meet will begin at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1, at the Bainbridge High School track.
