Bellport High School boys and girls spring track athletes excelled at the Suffolk Country track meet, taking home multiple medals.

The boys track team finished fifth in the county, with Vincent Pitre taking first place in the 800-meter and Ray Kreamer winning the 100-meter. The boys also earned first place in the 4x400 with their team made up of Desmond Escobar, Kreamer, Pitre and John Uyi.

The girls team placed second in the county — their best finish in over 20 years. Earning points for the placement were Nevaeh Pedraza, who took first place in the 100-meter, breaking the 1980 school record by 0.08 seconds. She also earned first in the long jump, breaking her own record with a jump of 18 feet, 3 inches. Also taking first was the girls 4x100 team of Ava Cooley, Shania Creary, Pedraza and Arielle Ross. Ella Masem finished second in both the 800-meter and 1,500-meter races, and freshman Jocelyn Fitzgerald earned second place in the 400-meter and third in the 2,000-meter steeplechase.

Both teams next compete in the state qualifiers.
