Local track athletes from all over the parish participated in the Richwood Relays last week at Richwood High School.

The West Ouachita boys team won the event while Richwood took home top honors in the overall team standings in the girls competition.

West Ouachita had 121 total points on the boys side with Neville coming in second with 93 points and Richwood third with 81. Ouachita scored 31 points and West Monroe scored 20 points while competing in none of the running events, only field events.

Richwood's Lady Rams team left the competition in the dust with their 165 team points. West Ouachita was second with 82 points. Ouachita was third with 78 points while Wossman was fourth with a total of 64 team points.

Neville finished with 30 girl's points and Carroll was just behind with 29 points. Each school had some high performances from their key contributors on their respective teams.

Justin Ellis of Neville won the boys discus throw with a best throw of 154'2.5". Jordan Allen of West Monroe was second with a throw of 137'8". West Ouachita placed third when Dillan Powell threw the discus 125'1".

Johney Dennis won the javelin throw with a best throw of 161 feet. Doc Ward of Rayville, who won the shot put throw, was second in the javelin with a throw of 143 feet. West Monroe's Sean Walker placed third with a javelin throw of 137'1".

Ouachita took home top individual honors in the boys high jump as Micheal Dublin won with a jump of 41'4". Jamar Bowie went for second with a jump of 40'11". Chris Williams of Richwood finished in third-place with a jump of 40'6".

Bowie did take home the championship in the long jump with a best jump of 20'6". That was narrowly better than the 20'3" leap by Dublin. Third-place went to Tyron Carter of Rayville with a long jump of 19'2".

Richwood thrower Jermetria Gord won the girl's shot put with a throw of 33'7". Maria Brown of Ouachita was third-place with a shot put of 30 feet.

Veronica Hall of Richwood also won the high jump event for the Lady Rams with a jump of five feet.

On the track, Billy Mayfield of West Ouachita beat Neville's Lavert Kelly by 1.5 seconds to win the boy's 400-meter dash. Dominique Pendleton was third out of Richwood High School.

K'Deidra Massey of Wossman High School won a pair of events as well. Massey won the girls 1600 over Richwood's Serenity Dunn while also edging Dunn in the 3200 meter race.
