Donegal competed at the Twin Valley Invite on Friday, April 21, yielding several excellent results.

"We had an exceptional night," head coach Philip Koser said. "We had many top-five finishes."

In the girls' meet, Faith Garber and Molly Myers were among the leaders. Myers finished second in the 800-meter event, posting a time of 2:22.4.

They were both part of a relay quartet as well with Myers leading the 4x800 team's second place finish. She teamed with Emma Myers, Marleigh Ballard and 3,200m third-place finisher Kathryn Fernald. In the 4x400, Garber led off for Anna Brubaker, Peyton Mansfield, and Jayanna Morant in a third-place finish.

In field events, Nya Bantum's 35-foot-2 shot put distance was good for third. In the triple jump Sydney Snyder finished seventh at 33 feet.

Caleb Kendig had a pair of top-five finishes in the boys' field events, claiming third in the shot put (49-3.5) and fourth in the javelin (154-08). Teammate Keeghan Cote's 44-5 was good for ninth place in the shot put.

Jack Brady had a fifth place (43.11) finish in the 300 hurdles and was ninth (16.77) in high hurdles.

"They all brought it Friday night," Koser said. "Congratulations to all of them for their efforts. We will continue to strive to improve."

Speaking of improvement, Koser noted, "The boys' 4x100 relay of Chad Rambal, Davion Wagstaff, Brody Bonhan and Ayo Akiniriwoye dropped over one second from their best time to run fifth fastest in school history."

Bonham also grabbed seventh in the 100m (11.31) while Jack Brady took ninth in the high hurdles (16.77) and fifth in the 300m hurdles (43.11).

The 4x400 relay of Akiniriwoye, Nikita Galkin, Noah Hinkel and 400m sixth place finisher Andrew Myers took third (3:35.08) and the 4x800 (8:35.97) team of Micah Brydon, Braden Bistline, Dylan Lenhart and Brandon Marcelo finished fifth.

Rambal took ninth in the long jump (19-10.5) while Mark Overlander and Hinkel took second and fourth, respectively, in the pole vault at 11-6 and 11-0.

Caleb Kendig excelled in the field events, taking fourth with his javelin heave of 154-08 as well as taking third (49-3.5) in the shot put - the event in which Keaghan Cote (44-5) finished ninth.

The Indians also competed in a Lancaster-Lebanon League dual meet on Monday, facing Lancaster Catholic. The girls' team won handily 112-38 while the Donegal boys topped Catholic 82-68.

Senior Dylan Lenhart won 1,600 and 3,200 while Bistline anchored the 4x800 winning team that included Dominic Santiago-Vega, and Thomas Dohl.
