After the girls track and field sectional took place on Tuesday, it was time for the boys to get their post-season underway. Crawfordsville and North Montgomery competed at West Lafayette while Southmont made the trip to Plainfield. Southmont competed against some of the best teams in the state in the likes of Zionsville, Avon, and Brownsburg. The Mounties, while they weren’t able to advance anyone out, did have some good showings. Vince Reimondo ran a PR in the 800 with a time of 1:56.18 and placed fifth, their 4x400 team of Nolan Boyer, Kyler McCandless, Tyler Petroski and Reimondo placed seventh with a 3:38.29, and the Mountie 4x800 team of Mason Cass, Sam Crum, Hunter Gray, and Reimondo placed fifth with a time of 8:41.89. Both Marlin Williams and Petroski cleared 13 feet in the pole vault to as Williams placed fourth and Petroski fifth.
