ROXANA – Area small-school track and field teams took to the track Monday evening for the 58th boys edition and 29th girls edition of the Roxana Relays meet at Charlie Raich Field.

Jersey won the boys meet with 91 points, followed by Highland at 83, the host Shells with 54 and East Alton-Wood River and Madison tying at 27. Mascoutah won the girls meet with 91 points, followed by Jersey with 83, Highland at 58.5, Roxana at 27.5 and EAWR at 27.

“I was really happy with a lot of things that happened tonight,” said Shells coach Juli Akal. “I was especially pleased with Jordan Hawkins in the throws tonight; he broke his personal best record, the meet record and broke his own school record tonight (in the discus throw), so that was a big highlight.

”I was really happy with David Loeffen in the jumps tonight, a couple of our relay teams had big nights (in the boys' competition); Kyrston Scifres in the 3,200 was a highlight (in the girls competition). Overall, I thought we did pretty well.”

“I've got a young group and this is a pretty competitive meet,” said Oiler coach Russ Colona. “I thought our kids ran pretty well; we got some PRs individually, we picked up two medals.”

Monday's meet was good preparation for next week's Madison County small-school championship, set for April 25 at Roxana, and the coming Prairie State Conference championship which the Oilers will be hosting May 2. “That's what we're building for,” Colona said.
