ORTONVILLE, Michigan - Though done over a four day period, the Holly boys’ track team used an outstanding start on Friday to carry themselves to a regional title at Brandon on Monday night.  Winning five events before the torrential rains hit on Friday, the Bronchos had to hold off Oxford on Monday to overcome the Wildcats 105 to 99.5 by beating their Flint Metro League rivals in the last event, the 1600 meter relay.

BAY CITY, Michigan - Holly track continued its dominance Friday night by sweeping both the boys and girls invitational at Bay City Western.  Not to be deterred by miserable cold and rain, the Broncho boys dominated by scoring 157.5 points  and the girls 75 points to edge Flushing for the title.

Senior Cameron Moussavi led Holly boys with a win in the 1600 meter run galloping to a time of 4:36.04.  He also anchored Holly’s second place finish in the 3200 meter relay.

Justin Gaumer took both the discus and shot put, outdistancing his nearest competitor in the discuss by more than 30 feet with a toss 165-1.  Junior Andarius Gray was outstanding as he won the 200 meter run at 24.16, was second in the 100 meter and helped Holly to second place finishes in both the 400 and 800 meter relays.

Junior Dallas Crandell won the 300 meter high hurdles with a time of 42.07.
Jonathan Beeler won the high jump at 6-0, and helped Holly to first in the 1600 meter relay with a team time of 3:34.49.  Freshman John Williams was third in the 400 meter run at 53.68, less than one second short of a win, and was instrumental in helping Holly to a win in the 1600 meter relay.

For the girls, Junior Merissa Moorhead won the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 16.95 to start off a great day for the Lady Bronchos.  Holly also won the 100 meter and 400 meter dashes with sophomore Mariah Ridal winning both with respective times of 13.19 and 1:02.07.  Senior star Destinee Lukianoff won the 800 meter run with a time of 2:23.07.

The Holly girls won the 1600 meter relay with the tandem of Melissa Bott, Tatum Harmon, Ridal and Lukianoff with a time of 4:20.09.  They took second in the 400 meter relay with a time of 54.73 with three underclasswomen (Jessica Beeler, Paige McElroy and Kaylee Harris) and senior Keera Colson.

The Bronchos are at home Wednesday in a league meet with Clio, Lapeer West and Swartz Creek as they look to continue their domination of Flint Metro League foes.

HOLLY, Michigan - His motto could be, “Let me take you higher.” If it were, it would surely fit as the Holly track and fielder star and senior pole vaulted, Josh Fiedor shattered a 27-year old record at the Milford Relays by vaulting 14-6.

Fiedor’s vault edged out longtime record holder, Ed Lumm who in 1983 cleared 14-3. Fiedor looks to continue his domination of the Flint Metro League competition and help the powerful Bronchos challenge for the Class A title.

Holly’s last track and field titles was in 1971 as a Class B competitor. Along with other Broncho stalwarts such as discus and shot put standout Justin Gaumer and high jumper, Jonathan Beeler, Holly indeed will be a force at the Class A State Finals.  

Gaumer recently tossed the discus 181 in a big win over Oxford. According to Holly track and field coach, Rob Basydlo, Gaumer regularly beats his discus competitors by 50-feet or more. Beeler is the returning Class A state high jumper with a 2009 state meet jump of 6-8. He also holds the all-time Holly record of 6-9.
