Val Ridgway contributed first-place efforts in the shot put (33-6) and the discus (87-0), and Jamie Bellinger won the 100 (14.0) and the 200 (28.9).

OHS' boys also had a chance a clinch a division title, but fell, 95-46, in a matchup of unbeatens.

The Yellowjackets' Alex VanDeusen ran a season-best 53.1 in the 400, the lone OHS athlete to win an individual event.

Brendan Pidgeon ran an 11.3 in the 100, but was edged out by SV's Anthony Rogers, who crossed in the same time.

"They had people everywhere," OHS coach Brady Cotter said of the Sabers, who finished 5-0 and won the Central. "We were both unbeaten coming in and they just came up better tonight."
