Host Dulaney made it three straight boys Baltimore County track and field meet championships in a row on Wednesday afternoon, but the Hereford girls’ bid for a third straight crown fell short, as Franklin sprinted to the title.

Dulaney won the meet, which was held over two days, with 114 points. The Lions were followed by New Town (79), Milford Mill (51), Franklin (48) and Towson (42).

Franklin’s girls finished with 154 points, followed by Hereford (124), Dulaney (52), Sparrows Point (37), Perry Hall and Randallstown (tie, 22).

Dulaney’s boys took a 68-14 lead over Hereford after six events on the first day, thanks to victories in the 3,200-meter run by Brian McCullough (9:38.41) and the 4x800 relay team of Nick Owens, Alex Whatley, Brendan O’Brien and Alex Ozbolt (8:12.63).

The Lions also got an opening day sweep in pole vault from Adam Madro (12 feet, 9 inches), Mark Bonner (11-6) and Sam Hodgetts (11-6).

On day two, the Lions got victories from Jonathan Kim in the discus (136-10) and high jump from Josiah Nilsen (6-0).

McCullough (4:23.85) fell just short in the 1,600 to Franklin’s Joseph Queen (4:23.57).

“Yesterday, Brian (McCullough) was real happy about that (winning the 3,200), but I’m sure he was just a little disappointed today, but he had a personal best last night and close to a personal best in the mile today,” Dulaney coach Chad Boyle said.

Towson senior Andrew Schuck was a standout individually, winning the 110 hurdles (15.51) and 300 hurdles (40.18) and placing second in the high jump (5-8).

“I just had to maintain rhythm, when you stutter step, that is what slows you down, so I just concentrated in between each hurdle to make sure I was getting the steps right and I guess it worked out for me,” said Schuck, after winning the 300 hurdles.

Franklin won its first girls county outdoor title since 2012.

They trailed Hereford 50-28 after the first day, when Hereford won the 4x800 relay with Hannah Weeren, Emily Konkus, Jen Barranco and Kara Schmidt (9:42.12).

But the Indians rallied in a big way on the second day.

Tylar Colbert (11.89) was first in the 100 meters and teammate Jenae Dorsey (12.45) was third. Colbert (24.44) won the 200 and teammate Cameron Hinton (24.41) was second.

The Indians swept the 400 with Hinton (55.02), leading Nyjari McNeil (55.18) and Jasmine Johnson (56.66).

McNeil (2:19.70) also won the 800, followed by Hereford’s Weeren, Barranco and Konkus.

McNeil (5:15.25) won the 1,600, a day after Hereford’s Lily Robertson (11:32.35) captured the 3,200 meters.

Franklin’s Dorsey (17-2) and Colbert (16-9) were one-two in long jump.

In the 4x100 relay, Ayana Booze, Aisha Carrington, Briasia Rondon and Dorsey won for Franklin (50.61).

Franklin’s Johnson, Hinton, Carrington and Rondon won the 4x200 relay (1:43.63) and McNeil, Carrington, Rondon and Johnson captured the 4x400 relay.

Hereford senior Bess Tiller had a busy day. In the midst of competing in pole vault, she had to run over and race in the 300 hurdles. When she came back, she cleared 10-feet and won the event ahead of teammate Courtney Butz.
