Boys track: Fremd edges out Prospect, Hoffman Estates

In a boys track matchup featuring the top two teams from the Mid-Suburban League's indoor invitational, a different team took top honors on Tuesday.

Fremd's balanced effort led to 70 points, just enough to edge Prospect (66) and host Hoffman Estates (51).

Hoffman Estates was the MSL's indoors champ, with Prospect second.

But on this occasion, Fremd had a winning blend.

Fremd's Ben Konopka and Jaden Jackson went 1-2 in the 110-meter high hurdles, and reversed those placements in the 300 intermediates.

Ethan Hanson won the shot put (55-4), Ed Worthem took the 800 run (1:57) and the Vikes also had winners in triple jump and long jump.

Hoffman Estates had first-place efforts from Daniel Banahan in the 400 (51.8), Declan Rustay in the 200 (22.4) and Fynn Alade in high jump (6-2) along with triumphs in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays.

Prospect's winners were Nick Konstantinou in the 100 dash (11.1), Nate Cozine in the 3,200 (10:06), Sean Sanagha in the 1,600 (4:39), Billy Matzek in discus (150-9) and James Estrella in pole vault (14-0). The Knights also won the 3,200 relay in 8:36.

at Conant: Wheeling (97 points) produced a dominant effort in topping host Conant (54) and Elk Grove (26).

Lawrence Knish won the 110 high hurdles (15.3) and the 400 dash (52.90), and Jason Shannon sprinted to victories in the 100 (10.95) and 200 (22.45) for the Wildcats.

Victor Wiski was a double winner in the throws, taking the shot put with 46-5 and the discus with 135-6. Blake Greenberg won the triple jump (40-3.5) and Wheeling had the top finish in the 1,600 relay (3:45.74).
