Kevin Goheen reports:
Amelia’s Jeff Glos had sat atop the city’s all-time shot put record list since May 8, 1975.
Western Brown senior Mack Tudor ended that 37-year run Friday night.
Tudor added the city shot put record to his growing resume when his third attempt of the Division I Mason district championship landed 62 feet, 6 inches away from the ring, bettering Glos’ record of 62-2.5. The win gives Tudor his first district shot put title to go along with the discus championship he won on Wednesday with a meet record throw of 185-5.
“It felt all right but it didn’t feel like a record-setting throw,” said Tudor. “It just felt like a normal throw to me and that’s why I thought I had a lot left. But I’m happy. This is what I came in to accomplish and I did it.”
The city records are compiled by the Southwest Ohio Track Cross Country Coaches Association and Tudor’s record was confirmed Friday.
The top four finishers in each event qualified for next week’s regional meet at Dayton’s Welcome Stadium.
The Mason girls won their 10th consecutive team title with 128.5 points. Walnut Hills was second with 92 points, followed closely by Princeton (89), Sycamore (83) and Withrow (80).
The Comets won four events over the two-day competition and qualified athletes in 11 events for the regional meet. Senior Monica Lake (1,600 and 3,200 relay) was a double winner for Mason.
Mason also won the boys’ competition; it was the fourth team title in the last five years for the Comets. Mason’s 136 points was comfortably ahead of Princeton (67) in second place and third-place Moeller (64).
The Comets won six events and will send athletes to Dayton in 13 of the 17 events. Senior Josh Dooley (long jump and 100) and junior Asad Maiden (high jump and 110 hurdles) were double winners.
