DeKALB – DeKalb senior Riley Newport made big contributions to the Barbs winning a team sectional title, but he was more impressed with what his teammates accomplished.

DeKalb qualified three sprint relays, two of which (the 4x100- and 4x200-meter teams) made it on time, for the state meet at the Class 3A DeKalb Boys Track and Field Sectional Meet on Wednesday.

“Our sprinters did a great job,” said Newport, who won the 1,600 and ran a leg of the winning 4x400 relay. “It takes a lot to get those relays down, I’m really proud of them today. I’m happy to be a part of this team.

“They really competed well. It’s been a little rough for our relays, but they really put it together today when it mattered. It shows how great we are, we put it all together at the right time. That was really important.”

DeKalb won the team title with 69 points, ahead of Belvidere North (57) and Hampshire (53).

Newport and teammate Jacob Barraza finished 1-2 in the 1,600, then teamed with Ethan Tierney and LaBrian Carrington to win the 4x400.

Andrew Tumminaro won the pole vault as the Barbs’ other sectional champ.

Carrington and Tierney also ran on the 4x100 and 4x200 teams. Jauharie Wilson, Carrington, Marquan Howard and Tierney were third in the 4x100 in 42.72, and Tierney, Wilson, Carrington and Braylen Anderson were third in the 4x200 in 1:30.19.

“It was really good. It was our first time running those times this year,” Tierney said. “I hadn’t run the 4x2 this year. The 4x1 handoffs hadn’t been very good, but tonight they were really good.

“I was trying to catch Rockford East [in the 4x100]. I saw him and ran a good leg, and looked at the time [on the scoreboard] and was glad to see that.”

DeKalb’s Ethan McCarter also qualified with a second in the long jump.
