Top-ranked Ben Davis defended its home nicely May 1, bringing home the Giants’ second straight Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference Tournament championship with a 12-point win over No. 2 Warren Central in an eight-team field featuring five of the state’s top seven boys track & field schools.
Ben Davis, the defending boys state champion, won seven of 16 events in totaling 132 points. That was enough to topple a talented field that included runner-up Warren Central (120), third-place No. 3 Carmel (95.5), seventh-ranked Center Grove (fourth with 68), and No. 4 North Central (Indianapolis) (65).
The seven wins included an easy double for senior Matthew Terrell in the 100-meter dash (:10.78) and the 200 (:21.91, or a full second better than the field). Terrell also ran the anchor leg of the Giants’ victorious 4×100 meter relay unit (:42.35), and BD proved its all-around superiority by picking up wins in a pair of field events with senior Colin Hester taking the long jump (22-03.00) and classmate Mike Malone the shot put (56-02.50).
“Our athletes competed well on the track,” said Carmel coach Will Ellery. “We struggled a little bit with most of our field events, and that’s an area in which we’ve been strong throughout the year, so overall we’re happy.
“There were several strong efforts, especially in a field as tough as this was.”
Ellery specifically mentioned Logan Rosenberg’s victory in the 1600 followed by a runner-up finish in the 3200, Dan Porter finishing second in both the 800 and the 1600, and Justin Batten scoring in three events (100, 200, and 4×100 relay).
“We’re pleased with our competitive effort and look forward to seeing the teams we competed against at the state finals in June,” Ellery added.
