By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — Strong performances in the Distance, Sprint and Relay events led the Watauga men to a convincing team win on April 24, in the third home meet of the 2024 high school track and field season at Jack Groce Stadium.
Among the most impressive event showings was the Pioneers sweep of the top five spots in the 1600 meters, led by senior Wesley Coatney at No. 1 (4:46.24), followed by a youthful brigade of sophomore Zeke Walker (No. 2, 5:02.90), freshman Grady Gates (No. 3, 5:04.12), junior Samuel Rex (No. 4, 5:08.85) and sophomore Silas Powell (No. 5, 5:08.85).
Also in the distance events, the3200 Meters race saw the Pioneers take the top three spots, led by sophomore Arthur McAulay (No. 1, 11:11.84), senior Davis Crymes (No. 2, 11:17.65) and freshman Brian Newmark (No. 3, 11:41.95).
In the sprints, Watauga didn’t capture the top spot in the 200 Meter Dash, but picked up valuable team points by taking No. 2 (senior Lade Oguntoyinbo, 23.86), No. 3 (junior Jakob Crosswell, 23.98) and No. 4 (junior Alex Gremmell, 24.64).
Watauga junior Will Bradbury continued his season of strong performances in winning the 800 Meters, in 2:00.79). Teammates Jonah Norris and Levi Anderson, a junior and sophomore, respectively, also picked up important team points by finishing No. 3 and No. 4 in the 18-man field of competitors.
Four Pioneer juniors and one freshman swept the first five spots in the 400 Meter Dash. The juniors included Jakob Crosswell (No. 1, 52.96), Alex Gremmell (No. 2, 54.36), Curtis Sevensky (No. 3, 56:05) and Matthew Habich (No. 4, 59.31). Freshman Quincy Honeycutt was close behind at No. 5, in 59.42.
The meet included athletes from Northwestern Conference rivals Alexander Central and Hibriten, as well as regional rivals Avery County, North Wilkes, and Johnson County (Tenn.).
