SEYMOUR — Daniel Hauersperger placed second in the 1,600 and 3,200 runs, and Seth Ragon was second in the high jump to lead the Seymour boys’ track and field team to a fourth-place finish in the second annual John Chastain Invitational on Thursday night at Bulleit Stadium.

Owls coach Randy Fife said he was pleased with Hauersperger’s races

“We had a good meet,” Fife said. “Daniel ran 4:30 in the mile which is solid, and he was right at 10 minutes (10:03) in the 3200. It was a nice night for him. On the double Ragon went 6-2 in the high jump, so he’s been real consistent.”

Fife had several other athletes with personal records on the day.

“The field events are getting a lot stronger with some PR’s in the throws. Reece Cavanaugh, a freshman, was fifth for us in the shot put (41-10½), and we scored in the discus as well. (Ben) Engleking threw 124-8.”

Many of the teams the Owls saw Thursday will return next week at the Hoosier Hills Conference meet at Floyd Central on May 14.
