OAK HILL - The Eastern Eagles track team will have five individuals and four relay teams competing at regionals based on their performances at the Division III district track and field meet at E. E. Davis Stadium.

Though they had no athletes advance to regionals, thus concluding their seasons, the Southern Tornadoes and South Gallia Rebels also competed at the event.

First place earned a competitor 10 points for his or her team, and second place earned eight. Third through eighth earned from six through one, respectively.

Eastern finished fifth in the boys meet with 57 points, while the Tornadoes were 14th with three.

The Lady Eagles finished ninth on the girls side with 36.50 points. The Lady Rebels were 14th with seven.

Taking the boys top spot was Lucasville Valley with 109 points. South Webster tied Belpre for second with 101 each.

With a meet-high 110.50 points, South Webster won the girls meet, while Belpre again took second with 96.50. Third went to Wheelersburg at 83.50 points.

First through fourth place finishes earned competitors a spot at the regional tournament next week in Pickerington, and senior Alex Burroughs will be competing in three events.

Burroughs placed second in the boys 400m dash, finishing in 52.80 seconds. And with a jump of 19 feet, nine inches, Burroughs took third and also advanced in the long jump.

Joining him in the 400m dash will be freshman teammate Klint Connery, who was right behind Burroughs in third with a time of 54.30 seconds.

Klint wasn't the only Connery to advance, however, as freshman Emeri took third in the girls 300m hurdles. Her time was 49.30 seconds.

The Eagles will have two relay teams competing at regionals.
