MIDDLEBURG - Bolstered by new faces on the track, the Oakleaf High School boys and girls track teams ran away with the Clay County High School Track and Field Championship team titles Tuesday night at Middleburg High School.

Oakleaf's girls team scored 149 points to top Fleming Island at 133 and Ridgeview at 100 while the boys scored 173 points to gap Ridgeview's 116 and Fleming Island' s 113.

Oakleaf got key wins in the 800 meters with Briana Olazabal outsprinting three Fleming Island runners; Halie Bourre, Jordan Detwiler and Audrey Millican to get the 10 points for first place there while Tony Stallworth ran from the front to edged Clay's Oliver West with a 2:07.18 split to West's 2:08.59. West recently ran a 1:59 split.

In the 300 hurdles, Oakleaf freshman Mikayla Pearson dominated that event with a 49.94 split over Fleming Island's Kayla Armstrong who clocked in at 52.76.

Oakleaf won both the boys and girls 4 x 100 relays to add team points.

One minor upset in the 100 meter dash was Clay High's Erykah Murray edging Oakleaf's Jaqueline Thomas by just .01 second at 13.07-13.08 in one of the tightest races of the cold night.
