BEAVERTON - May 10, 2008 - Standish-Sterling's boys track and field team warmed up for next week's regionals by taking second place at Saturday's eight-team Beaverton Invitational.

The Panthers (106) finished behind Harrison (119.5) but beat Gladwin (79), Ithaca (64.5), Meridian (49), Bullock Creek (48), Beaverton (45) and Houghton Lake (16).

The Panthers won six events and set a meet record in the final event of the day as the 4x400 relay team of Austin Collier, Trent Fouchey, Casey Potts and Alex Schmidt won with a time of 3:30.78.

Collier and Fouchey were among the Panthers who also won individual events. Collier took the high jump with a leap of 6-2, while Fouchey ran to an impressive win over Gladwin's Chris Smalley in the 400 (41.30).

SSC's throwers also had a big day. Freshman Cole Walderzak broke the 150-foot mark in the discus with a heave of 150-2, while Mark Stawowy (51-9), Walderzak (45-3) and Adam Gulvas (44-7) swept the top three spots in the shot put. Casey Potts also claimed a win in the 300 hurdles (41.15).
