Twelve first-place finishes by the Spring Lake boys track team lifted the Lakers to a 85-52 victory at Grant High School on Thursday in a Lakes Eight Conference meet.
Senior C.R. Mohrhardt had a hand in three first-place finishes against the Tigers, winning the pole vault by clearing 10 feet, taking the 100 dash in 11.95 seconds, and running a leg in the victorious 400-meter relay. Mohrhardt was joined by Michael Latsch, Andy Skendrovic, and Ibrahim Hamati.
Latsch swept the hudle events for the Lakers, winning the 110-meter in 16.14, and the 300-meter in 44.31. He also teamed up with Chad Setterbo, Skendrovic and Bobby Chapman on the 1,600 relay that won in 3:46.52.

The Lakers took the pole vault behind Danielle Berkobien clearing 7 feet, while Becca Mumby won the high jump at 4-10, and Kathryn Rumptz won the long jump at 14-5.5.
