Harding’s DeAver Williamson crosses the finish line ahead of Howland’s Michael Mangiarelli during the 100-meter dash at the Trumbull County Meet.
CORTLAND — Warren G. Harding’s boys track and field team was seeking its fifth straight Trumbull County Track and Field title at Lakeview High School.
The Raiders’ top athlete and hurdler, junior Mitchell Seawood, is nursing a knee injury and was unavailable to run this week.
Thursday, Harding rallied its team and held off the rest of the county field for a fifth straight title — narrowly beating second-place McDonald, 85-81.
“We’ve battled a lot of injuries, but I’m not using it as a crutch or anything like that,” Harding coach Charles Penny said. “Our coaches did a great job in the past three weeks to get our kids in a position to where we’re hopefully battling for the county meet, to where we could win a county meet. My coaches were awesome. I’m at a great school with good kids and great coaches. They make me look good every day.
