Heritage’s Oakes and JF’s Pettyjohn enjoy stellar outings at Bulldog Invitational | High school

Oakes, a Stanford University signee, ran a 7.27 to win the 55th indent, finishing just three hundredths of a second off her best time of the season. She won the long jump and triple jump titles with ease, each by more than a foot. Oakes recorded 18 feet 8 inches in the long jump and 38 feet 1½ inches in the triple jump.

Oakes entered the one-day competition after clearing 40 feet in the triple jump earlier this month at the Virginia Showcase. She is also approaching 20 feet in the long jump. On Saturday, the Heritage star placed third in the 300m and ran the return leg for Heritage’s 4×200 relay team who finished second behind a foursome from Maryland-based Damascus High. Taylor Porter, Oakes, Ayonna Hayden and Akera Molette clocked 1:46.64.

Jefferson Forest senior Hannah Pettyjohn also had a strong performance on Saturday when she won the high jump title with a mark of 5ft 2in and won the pole vault title with a jump of 12 feet. The Samford University signee also finished sixth in the 55 hurdles, one place behind teammate Kandace McIvor (who was third in the triple jump, fourth in the high jump and fifth in the long jump).

JF mid and distance specialist Zoie Lamanna won the 1000m race in 2:59.49 and placed second in the 1600m race with a time of 5:09 ,46.

Heritage senior Darius Brown was the only male athlete in the region to win an individual title, posting 44 feet, 4¼ inches in the triple jump and winning this event with ease.

Jefferson Forest’s 4×800 relay team – consisting of Alex Jordan, Jonah Packer, Keegan Venable and Jacob White – took first place with a time of 8:56.30, winning by nearly 27 seconds.

The Brookville 4×400 team (Christian Seeney, Yuet Lai, Chasen Hunt and Brent Wesolowski) took second place.

Heritage’s 4×200 relay team (Deuce Crawford, Jaidyn Johnson, Zach Steele, McKinley Pennix) was also a finalist. Crawford finished second in the 55 sprint (6.59, two hundredths of a second off his season best).

Jefferson Forest star Brannon Adams set a school record in the 1,600 meter run with a 4:19.87 (fifth place). He also finished fifth in the 1000m. His teammate, Addison Hilton, was second in the 500m (1:07.39) and fourth in the 300m.
