Gallatin varsity track athletes turned in strong showings at the Grand River Conference Meet held Tuesday in Albany.
Three R-5 competitors were among those taking home a championship in an individual event.
Senior Kelly Critten won the triple jump event for the Bulldogs, with a leap of 32’2.5". She also finished second in the pole vault (7′) and long jump (15’7").
Junior Tyler Bracket was among the fastest runners at the meet. He won his specialty, the 200-meter dash, in 23.93, and also took second in the long jump with a jump of 19’10.5".
Freshman Donovan Stout ran 2:10.55 to win the conference 800-meter run for Gallatin.
Other top three finishes for Gallatin included: Colton Selby, third in the pole vault (10′); Justin Taul, second in the 1600-meter run (5:11.75) and Peter Steele, third in the 3200-meter run (11:53.56).
Lady Bulldog relay teams placed second (4×800, 11:01.01) and third (4×400, 4:41.47). The Bulldogs finished second in the 4×200 (1:37.87) and 4×800 (8:57.18) and took third in the 4×100 (46.69).
Hamilton ran away with both team titles. The Lady Hornets amassed 188 points to finish over 100 points ahead of runnerup South Harrison. The Hornets held off Gallatin, 187 to 101, for the boys title.
