LOCK HAVEN — Alex Takach showed last year that he was a talented runner, competing in record-breaking relays last springs and helping Williamsport in the 100 throughout the year and districts.

On Friday at the Lock Haven Bald Eagle Invitational at Lock Haven University, Takach again showed why he’s one of the area’s top sprinters. Takach, a junior, won the boys 100 in 10.95 seconds, not only winning the event but setting a meet record in the process and was the lone runner to break 11 seconds as he ran an outstanding time. Loyalsock’s Danny Dowell took second in 11.01 and Hughesville’s Spencer Stine was third in 11.02. Nathaniel Woods of Williamsport was fourth in 11.05. For Dowell, Stine and Woods, their times were all personal or season bests.

Williamsport ran away with the boys team title with 171 points as Warrior Run was second with 71.33, Hughesville took third with 71 and Loyalsock was fourth wtih 54.

Takach was one of two Millionaires on Friday to set a meet record at Lock Haven. In the 400, Williamsprot’s Tevin Williams did so by running a time of 48.66 to win the event with a personal-best time. He beat Warrior Run’s Ori Kennel who took second in 49.60. The Defenders’ Gideon Kennel was third (51.25) and Maxwell Fogleman took fourth (51.57). Central Mountain’s Wyatt Heeman took fifth in 52.64.

While Williams broke the meet record in the 400, he also finished with two other individual wins in the field events. Williams had a personal best and PR for the year by clearing 6 feet, 2 inches to win the boys high jump. He tied with DuBois’ Ryan Wildnauer, who also PR’d at 6-2. Montgomery’s Jace Hanford took third (6-0) and Jersey Shore’s Khani McCray hit a personal best with 5-10. Taking fifth was the Bulldogs’ Breylan Guerrero (5-10).

He also won the long jump with a jump of 22-10 1/2, winning the event by more than two feet over teammate Ashton Thomas (20-7) who claimed a second-place finish.
