MUNCIE — The 86th annual Muncie Relays were held at Muncie Central Saturday morning, giving 13 teams from around the area an opportunity to see where they stack up as boys track and field season enters the final month of the regular season.
As usual, the 13 schools were divided into two classes: the five larger schools made up Class A, while the eight smaller schools were in Class B.

Class A was composed of Anderson, Delta, Huntington North, Muncie Central and Yorktown. Meanwhile, Alexandria-Monroe, Blue River Valley, Cowan, Muncie Burris, Monroe Central, Tipton, Wapahani and Winchester made up Class B.
The Muncie Relays is a great opportunity for teams to see how they stack up ahead of the postseason, as 10 of the 13 schools who participated will return to Muncie Central for sectionals on May 22.
Here's what we learned from the 86th annual Muncie Relays, followed by the team scores and winners.
Wapahani dominated Class B with a team score of 126 points, beating out second place by 43 points. The Raiders impressed in the distance events, winning the 4x800 relay and the distance medley relay (DMR) while taking second in the 4x400. The Raiders' DMR time of 10:44.30 set a new Class B meet record and shattered the Wapahani school record.
"Our cross country guys really have stepped it up on the track, and that really showed out today," Wapahani coach Bo Stevenson said. "We had several guys that basically had a decathlon, a list of events from the different types of things they were doing."
Juniors Mason Tomboni and Kason Thrasher were among those who ran in multiple events. Tomboni ran in the 4x800, DMR, 1600 and 4x400, while Thrasher ran in the 4x800, 3200 and 1600. Fellow junior Preston McCorkill also had a long but successful day, running in the 100-meter dash and the DMR while also claiming first in the long jump with a personal record of 19 feet, 4 inches.
Yorktown's victory over the Class A field was much narrower than Wapahani's, as the Tigers' 124 points beat out Delta's 110 and Muncie Central's 107.
Like Wapahani, Yorktown excelled in the distance events, and a big part of that success was Yorktown's young duo of sophomore Wyatt Turner and freshman Thomas Loney, who swept first and second place, respectively, in the 3200 and 1600.
Senior Daniel Davis continues to shine as a sprinter. He took first place in the 100 with a time of 11.26 seconds and anchored Yorktown's 4x100 team that also claimed first place. The Tigers also swept the top two spots in the pole vault, with seniors Adam Lin and Julian McKay both clearing the bar at 12 feet.
Monroe Central senior Easton Foster and Blue River Valley senior Jacob Fox both had great days in their respective field events in Class B. Meanwhile, in Class A, Muncie Central seniors dominated the shot put and discus throw.
Foster cleared a 6-6 high jump to break his own meet record set in 2023. He also placed second in the long jump at 19 feet. Fox, meanwhile, won both the shot put and discus throw for Class B with new personal records in both events. He recorded a throw of 52-6 in the shot put and a discus throw of 133-4.
Bearcats seniors Jamar Clark and Emmanuel Taylor impressed in the Class A shot put and discus throw, respectively. Clark set a new PR with a throw of 47-3½ in shot put, while Taylor hit 162-8 in the discus. Another Bearcat senior, Luka Pavelka, took second in the discus with a PR of 144-5.

Wapahani excels in long distance
Wapahani dominated Class B with a team score of 126 points, beating out second place by 43 points. The Raiders impressed in the distance events, winning the 4x800 relay and the distance medley relay (DMR) while taking second in the 4x400.

Well-rounded effort lifts Yorktown
Yorktown's victory over the Class A field was much narrower than Wapahani's, as the Tigers' 124 points beat out Delta's 110 and Muncie Central's 107.
Like Wapahani, Yorktown excelled in the distance events, and a big part of that success was Yorktown's young duo of sophomore Wyatt Turner and freshman Thomas Loney, who swept first and second place, respectively, in the 3200 and 1600.
