Hurley boys, Ironwood girls second at Ashland

ASHLAND, Wis. - The Hurley boys were a close second and the Ironwood girls were runner-up as Ashland swept its home track-and-field invite, the Welker, Monday.

A chilly day with a strong wind off Lake Superior only got colder when it clouded up later in the meet.

The Midgets finished just eight points behind Ashland, 138-130. Ironwood was fourth with Mercer seventh.

Hurley's Isaac DeCarlo won the 100 and 200 dashes and he was first in the long jump. Teammate Kris Bluse was first in the 110 hurdles and Hurley's Luke Marczak won the 300 hurdles. Ironwood's Elliot Gudgeon was first in the 400 dash.

It was Walker Miller of Ashland's turn in the 3,200 run. After Ironwood's Nick Niemi beat Walker and Maury Miller in that event at the Kraemer Invitational in Ironwood last week, Walker Miller passed Niemi in his home meet and went on to win by 3.47 seconds. Maury didn't run the event.

Mercer's Tyler Bianga won the shot put with a put of 47 feet.

The Ashland girls won in a landslide with the Devils second, Hurley third and Mercer fourth.

Hurley's Aiyana Nickel won three events, the 100 hurdles, long jump and triple jump.

Ironwood's Vanessa Nasi beat Ashland's Aneesa Tucker in the 100 and 200 dashes.

Mercer's Sydney Thompson dominated in the shot put and discus, winning the shot put with a mark of 43 feet, ½ inch and taking the discus at 128-10.

Hurley's Mahra Wick won the 300 hurdles.
