ORWIGSBURG — Alexa Giuffre put on another show, Donovann Durham blazed to a pair of wins, Tamaqua’s Shaylee Gormley grabbed a gold and field event standouts Dane Hannevig, William Shaner and Sophia Woll posted victories at Friday’s 21-team Blue Mountain Invitational at the Eagles’ Nest.

Giuffre won three events as the Pottsville senior took first in the 300 hurdles, long jump and triple jump. Her time of 45.51 seconds in the 300 hurdles and her best attempt in the long jump of 18 feet, 9 inches were season-bests.

Durham captured a pair of battles with Schuylkill League rival Rafael Liranzo of Blue Mountain, winning the 110 hurdles in a season-best 14.42 and racing to victory in the 300 hurdles in another season-best time of 38.90. Liranzo was second in both events.

Gormley won the 800 meters in 2:28.07, just ahead of Blue Mountain’s Gianna Chipriano (2:28.87). The Pottsville girls’ 4×400 relay, the Blue Mountain girls’ 4×800 relay and the Blue Mountain boys’ 4×800 relay also earned gold medals. Names were not provided.

In addition to Liranzo and Chipriano, Blue Mountain’s Sophia Spolski (100, 200), Tamaqua’s Katelynn Fredericks (300 hurdles), Nativity’s Kyle McCormick (400) and Pottsville’s Colin McGinley (800) earned silver medals on the track.

In the field events, Blue Mountain’s Woll won the girls’ discus at 105-2, while the Eagles’ Shaner outlasted teammate Jeffrey Kline and Schuylkill Haven’s Niko Carestia to win the boys’ javelin.

Pine Grove’s Hannevig set an area-best with a best jump of 21-10.5 to win the long jump. Schuylkill Haven’s Ethan Kline was second in the boys’ discus with a season-best throw of 150-4.
