Canton's balanced attack too much for
Rockets in South Division meet
April 20, 2010,
1:25 a.m.
A couple of photo-finish
showdowns between two of the fastest high school spritners in Wayne
County highlighted Tuesday afternoon's Canton-John Glenn boys
track-and-field meet.
John Glenn speedster Jeremy Langford, who is headed to Michigan
State University with a football scholarship, and Canton sophomore
Kevin Buford electrified the crowd by battling stride for stride for
stride in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
Langford barely finished first in both races, but it wasn't
enough as the Chiefs came away with an 82-55 victory to improve their
KLAA SOuth Division record at 1-1. The Rockets slipped to 0-2.
Langford won the 100 in 11.1 seconds, two-tenths of a second
faster than Buford. Both runners were clocked in 22.6 in the 200, but
Langford out-leaned Buford.
Other highlights for the Chiefs were Nick Alaniva's two firsts
-- a season-best 13 feet, 1.5-inch effort in the pole vault and a 20-4
leap in the long jump -- and Ma Schmiel's first-place showing in the
800-meter run.
"We're focusing on Thursday's City Meet, so we juggled some
things up a little bit and scaled back some of our middle-distance
runners," said Canton coach Bob Richardson. "We improved a lot in the
field events, too. Overall, I was pleased."
