Boys track and field<br />
Griffins eye postseason during tri-meet<br />
Frank Gogola<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
Lincoln-Way East sophomore<br />
Quinton Stringfellow<br />
knew his long jump was not<br />
his best with approach and<br />
footing. But on a day with<br />
only two other teams competing<br />
and multiple competitors<br />
sitting out, his distance<br />
was good enough to take first<br />
place in the event.<br />
Stringfellow’s win was<br />
one of several individual<br />
event victories for East on<br />
Tuesday, April 25, at Bradley-Bourbonnais.<br />
No official<br />
team scores were kept in the<br />
SouthWest Suburban Conference<br />
tri-meet between East,<br />
Bradley-Bourbonnais and<br />
Thornwood.<br />
“What this is, is a glorified<br />
practice,” East coach Ross<br />
Widinski said. “We didn’t<br />
bring a whole team. Other<br />
teams aren’t starting all their<br />
regular guys. There’s no pole<br />
vault.<br />
“Not being an invite, this<br />
was a chance for some of the<br />
younger guys to get a chance<br />
to show what they could do.<br />
They were really competing<br />
to show their ability.”<br />
Stringfellow jumped 19<br />
feet, 6 ½ inches in his lone<br />
attempt. The jump was more<br />
than 2 feet shorter than his<br />
season best of 21 feet, 7 inches,<br />
but it was good enough to<br />
win the event.<br />
“I jumped off the wrong<br />
foot, too,” he said.<br />
Stringfellow and teammate<br />
Randy Johnson tied for<br />
first place in the triple jump<br />
(40 feet, 2 ½ inches). Senior<br />
Cole Paraday won the discus<br />
throw. Paraday scratched on<br />
all three of his shot put attempts<br />
but had the distance to<br />
win had he not scratched.<br />
On the track, senior Nick<br />
Miranda took first place in the<br />
400-meter dash. Freshman AJ<br />
Henning won the 100-meter<br />
dash. Sophomore Michael<br />
Honchar crossed the line first<br />
in the 110-meter hurdles.<br />
The 800-meter relay team<br />
finished second behind<br />
Thornwood. The Griffins<br />
took the lead after Thornwood<br />
was slow with the<br />
handoff between the second<br />
and third runners, but Thornwood<br />
came back to win.<br />
Several of East’s top distance<br />
guys got the day off<br />
to rest. Some who ran in the<br />
800-meter run and 1,600-meter<br />
run were switched up,<br />
“Right now, they’re running<br />
on tired legs,” Widinski<br />
