The OHTF Golden Eagles fought hard Friday night at home hosting the annual Grant 4 Championship Meet ultimately coming up 1.5 points short of their 16th Grant 4 Title in the last 19 seasons. In a meet featuring one of the closest team battles in recent history and entering the meet on paper as the possible 3rd place team the Golden Eagles gave themselves all they could ask for which was a shot late. Ultimately a very talented and deep Misssinewa won with 71.5 points winning their 2nd straight Grant 4 Title. The Golden Eagles finished with 70 points while a very dangerous Eastbrook team was 3rd with 64.5 and Madison Grant 4th with 37. On the night the Golden Eagles won 4 of the 16 events. Senior Corban Tippey and Junior Jalen Scott were the only multi-event winners for the Golden Eagles. Tippey won the 3200 Meter Run individually leading a 1-2 finish with Junior Wyatt Hart and combined with Hart on the winning 4x800 Meter Relay. Joining Tippey and Hart on the opening event relay were Senior Caden Myers and Sophomore Christian Smiley. Tippey and Hart added additional strong points in the 1600 Meter Run going 2-3 respectively. Myers and Smiley added a strong 2-3 in the 800 Meter Run. Scott won the 100 Meter Dash individually in 10.8 and then ran down the field in the 4x100 Meter Relay to take 1st. Joining Scott on the relay were classmates Dylan Archer and Cayden Jones along with Freshman Tayt Bowlin. Scott added a strong 2nd in the 200 Meter Dash posting a new personal best 22.4 and moving into the Top 5 All Time in Program History in the event passing Delmar Terry. Another top level performer on the night was Junior Luke Elzinga who posted a new personal best jump of 22-7.25 in the Long Jump to take 2nd. His mark made him just the 3rd Golden Eagle in Program History to go over 22 feet surpassing M. Boswell from 1977 and trailing only Tahj Johnson and Sammy Sommers. Elzinga added a pair of 4ths in the High Jump and 400 Meter Dash and was part of the 3rd place 4x400 Meter Relay along with Archer, Myers, and Senior Marc Caritos.
