Somerset — The event was the annual Pulaski County Invitational (PCI) track meet, but the main attraction on the night was Southwestern senior Trevor Jones.
Forget the fact that Jones led all individual scorers with 32.5 points, was named the PCI meet MVP, won three individual events and was part of a the winning Warrior 3200-meter relay team.
But Jones’ finest moment came in his individual 800-meter run performance. Jones broke his own school record and turned in the fastest 800-meter time in the state of Kentucky with an astounding early-season 1:57.0.
Because Jones’ qualifying time was not sent prior to the PCI meet on Friday, the all-state half-miler was placed in the second, and slower, heat of the PCI 800-meter field.
But it didn’t really matter because Jones was running against the clock and not the competitors, which he beat by more than 100 meters, on the Pulaski County High School track.
“Before the meet, Trevor told one of his buddies that he could run a 1:57-flat in the PCI,” Southwestern coach Rob Belwood laughed. “So, I told him to run an easy 2:05 half in the 3200 relay to conserve his energy. What does he do? He goes out and runs a 1:59.9 leg. Then, he wins the long jump and triple jump events prior to running his 1:57 flat.”
“He had a tough cross country season because he had a growth spurt and he had a tough time adjusting his stride to his added height,” Belwood added. “He is definitely running more at ease and seems more comfortable. This performance is really encouraging considering it is so early in the season and we have done very little quality speed workouts. I originally thought he might could go 1:56 in the half this season, but now I think a 1:54 is possible for him.”
Jones won the long jump with a best of 19’05” and won the triple jump with a best of 38’08”. Jones, Sabastian Rhode, Michael Tounge and Tyler Denham won the 3200-meter relay with a best of 8:44.7.
Southwestern senior Sabastian Rhode completed the distance double with wins in the boys 1600 meters and 3200 meters. Rhode won the 1600 meters with a time of 4:43.2 and the 3200 meters in a time of 10:20.5.
Pulaski senior Kayln Bowers won the girls 1600 meters with a 6:09.0. Pulaski eighth-grader Paige Ingram won the 3200 meters with a 14:15.2.
Pulaski’s Brooke Cable won the girls high jump with a best clearance of 4’10”. Pulaski junior RC White won the boys 400 meters with a time of 53.3 seconds.
Pulaski sophomore Alex Abner won the high jump with a best of 5’10”.
Pulaski senior Daryn Meece won the shot put with a best of 45’11”.
The Southwestern girls 800-meter relay team of Allison Briones, Erica Haynes, Shelby Selig and Danay Fothergill won with a time of 1:59.6.
Southwestern’s 3200 relay team of Elizabeth Eaton, Frankie Haynes, Laura Norris and Emily Belwood won with a time of 11:31.0.
Southwestern’s 800-meter relay team of Anthony Mitchell, Mason Douglas, Taylor Mote and Ian Preston won with a 1:38.5.
The Pulaski 1600-meter relay team won with a best of 3:50.9.
In the boys team standings, Pulaski won with 119 points, Southwestern finished second with 99.5 points and Somerset finished ninth with 24 points.
In the girls team standings, Casey County won with 135.5 points, Pulaski finished second with 112 points, Southwestern third with 106 points and Somerset finished eighth with 6 points.
“For us to finish in second place was great considering that we were competing without our full team as some of our girls were out of town on Spring Break,” Lady Maroon coach Mandy Jones said. “For the ones that did compete, they stepped right up and competed very well. I am very excited about our girls team this year. Our numbers have greatly increased and once we get everyone in place in the right events and everything starts coming together, I believe we have a really good chance of finishing very high in the region this year, which is our ultimate goal.”
