SALEM — The Salem girls track team feels like it is their duty to win the hometown F.E. Cope Invitational.

The Quakers captured their sixth of the last seven team titles by totaling 138 points Thursday at Sebo Stadium, finishing 45 points ahead of runner-up Boardman.

Salem won five events, highlighted by senior Maddy Andres sweeping the shot put (35-7) and discus (108-9).

Juniors high jumpers Madolyn Gorby and Peyton Colbert also finished 1-2. The two returning state qualifiers matched their personal bests as Gorby repeated as the Cope champion by clearing 5-foot-4 and Colbert placing second at 5-foot-2.

Salem freshman Chaya Murray made her much-awaited debut by winning two events — the 200-meter dash (25.70 seconds) and joining Abby Knickerbocker, Karlie Sampson and Laura Hovorka on the winning 1600 relay team (4:09.14).

South Range senior Gabriella Spooner was first in the long jump (16-3 1/4). Spooner, a Columbiana transfer, because the first South Range athlete to score at state in the long jump by finishing seventh in Division III last year.

Boardman won the boys meet with 107 points. Salem was second with 73 points.

Salem senior Lucas Adams was double winner by taking the long jump (22-11 1/4) and high jump (a personal-best 6-6). Adams was the Division II indoor state champion in the long jump last month.

Beaver Local junior Luke Warrick won the 800 run (1:58.67).

Lowellville senior Drew Modelski raced to victory in the three boys sprints — the 100 dash (10.96), 200 dash (21.96) and 400 dash (48.24). He was one of the favorites to win a state title last year, but suffered a hamstring injury in the regional preliminaries.

Canfield sophomore Kellen Halcomb also won two events — the shot put (58-3 1/4) and discus (161-7). He edged defending Division III state champion Drew Zajack in the discus by 5 inches.

The meet is held in honor of the late F.E. Cope, a longtime Salem athletic director and track official.
