May 29—LANSING — Traverse City West led four area teams in Friday's Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association team state championships.

The Titan boys placed fourth in Division 1, while West's girls placed fifth at Lansing Waverly.

Cadillac's girls placed eighth in Division 2 at Fowlerville. Team scoring wasn't available in Division 4 in Mount Pleasant, where Manistee Catholic's boys competed, but the Sabers' Mateo Barnett won the 400-meter dash and placed inside the top five in all four of his events.

West's boys racked up huge points in the long jump, with Jacob Patanella taking first place and recording the event's four longest jumps, including his winning 21'0.5" leap. He was followed by teammate John O'Connor in second at 19'11" and Patrick O'Connor sixth at 19'2".

West assistant coach Jason Morrow said the team was missing several key performers because of injury and illness, which also hampered their Big North Conference finals showing. With those athletes in the lineup, he said the Titans could have been right up there with Rockford, battling for the top spot.

The Titans girls scored big points in the 400, with Isabel Spearing (second), Sara Schermerhorn (fourth) and Grace Galbraith (11th).
