HARRIS — The Bark River-Harris boys pulled out all the stops here Monday, earning top honors in their own invitational track and field meet with 125 points.

Rapid River was runner-up at 109 and Newberry edged Norway 78-76 for third place.

The girls’ meet was extremely close with Manistique winning with 85 points. BR-H scored 84 and Newberry finished with 83. Norway’s girls placed sixth among 12 teams.

It was a solid day for Norway senior Josh Schiltz, who captured disc (128-9) and helped the Knights sweep the sprint relays, joined by Keith Burcar, Kaleb LaPine and Anthony Pineda.

Pineda placed second in the 200 and third in the high jump, while LaPine was third in both the 100 and long jump. Javan Hauswirth was second in the 3200.

Keith Burcar runs the second leg of a Norway relay. The Knights won both the 400-meter and 800-meter relays at Monday's Bark River-Harris Invitational.

In the girls meet, Norway’s Lauren Adams was first in the 400, second in the 200 and third in the 100.

“We had a good day,” BR-H coach William Soper said. “We had a lot of PRs (personal records) all the way around. We had kids doing things they weren’t used to. The guys really wanted this one and winning at home makes it all the more special.”

BR-H junior Gionni McDonough was a triple-winner, taking the boys’ 110-meter hurdles in 16.37 seconds, 300s (46.52) and long jump at 19 feet.
