AUGUSTA — The Lisbon track and field teams swept the Mountain Valley Conference championship meet Friday for the seventh consecutive season despite a record-setting day from Madison senior Matt McClintock.
The Lisbon girls scored 181 points while Madison was second with 66.
The Lisbon boys finished with 136.5 points to fend off Hall-Dale 106.5
McClintock set meet records in the 1,600 (4 minutes, 21.24 seconds) and 3,200 (9:18.58).
“I wanted to defend my titles and I knew some conference records were well within my reach,” McClintock said. “Before this I didn’t have anything but school records. It feels great.”
Hall-Dale senior Bri Crisci won the 100-meter dash (13.29), 200 (26.91) and 400 (1:00.99).
Hall-Dale senior Tyler Fitzgerald won the 100 (11:37) and 400 (52.87) to keep the Bulldogs in contention throughout. Sam Shepherd won the high jump with a leap of 6-feet.
“You just have to commend Lisbon,” Richmond said. “Seven straight, that’s nothing to bat an eye at. We were right there. We were close.”
