LAKERS SEAL BACK TO BACK NAC CHAMPIONSHIPS

ORWELL OH-  Pymatuning Valley wasn’t messing around. The Lakers rolled into the NAC Championships and walked out with their second straight crown, stacking up 143 points to edge out Maplewood’s 131. Chalker (71), Bristol (67), and Badger (65) rounded out the top five, but this one was all PV.

Elliot Jones was a one-man wrecking crew. He soared 6-1 in the high jump to grab gold, then turned around and cleared 11 feet in the pole vault to lock down another win.

William Baugher brought the heat in the 110 hurdles, cruising to the title with a 15.39 finish—fast and clean.

And when it came time for the 4×4, the Lakers closed strong. Austin Dean, Gavin Hodge, Jacob Dean, and Kasen Bailey threw down a 3:35.75 to seal the relay win and help slam the door on the team title.
