Cypress Creek boys coach Darrell Davis, a former standout in track and football at Pasco High, views the meet as a tune-up for the upcoming postseason. “It’s a good precursor because we invite everybody,” said Davis, who went on to play football at North Carolina State. “We’ve got the best track in the county. We want to represent on our home track.”

The Coyotes had just two wins in the boys meet — Cason Corrao in the 400-meter hurdles and Jack Niemann, the football team’s two-year starting quarterback, in the javelin — but racked up plenty of points with top-five finishes.

“I feel like our veterans are really stepping up,” Davis said. “The core group of kids I had last year is really doing good.”

As for Cypress Creek’s girls, their lone win came from Saige Magill in the 200.

Wiregrass Ranch’s Victoria Fleming and Clemson Harrod won the girls and boys 100 hurdles, respectively. Teammates Kaitlyn Flynne won the girls 400, Camila Angulo wound up first in the girls 800 and Namarrah Smith was the girls winner in the high jump.

Wiregrass Ranch’s winning boys 4x100 relay team included Jared West, Alexei Leon, Gavin Gilyard and Jordan Roque.

The winning 4x800 boys relay team consisted of Wesley Chapel’s Turen Aquilar Cortes, Michael Cook, Adrian Brooks and Andres Flores Cadiz.

Wesley Chapel also won two girls relays. The first came in the 4x100 with a foursome of Nandi Denning, Zaakirah Bryant, Krystin Blenman and Tessa Bray. That same group also took first in the 4x400, albeit in a different order.
