BLOOMFIELD – The Bristol Central boys track and field squad did well at the annual Tammy Schondelmayer Invite from Bloomfield High School on Saturday.

The Rams had several competitors finish throughout the top-8 of the events as senior Tre Blair ended up winning the triple jump.

The athlete also tallied second place in the long jump, finishing the jaunt with a successful make of 21 feet nine inches.

Also in the triple jump, Anthony Paulino (41 feet, 2.5 inches) was the runner-up, Nathanyel Davis (38 feet, 11.5 inches) placed fifth and Will Postell (37 feet, 8 inches) finished up in eighth.

Paulino nabbed fifth place in the long jump (20 feet, six inches) while Luke Jackson was a top-four finisher in both the 110 (16.33 seconds) and 300 (43.37 seconds) hurdles.

In the pole vault, Central’s Kenny Whitford cleared nine feet to earn a fifth place finish while the squad’s 4×800 meter relay team was also successful.
The combination of Patrick Wininger, Lance Archibald, Aiden Georgakopoulos, and Chris Roy earned sixth place in 8:54.99.
