Meghan Carlisle led the Mustangs with first-place finishes in the 800 meters (2 minutes, 54.4 seconds), 1,600 (6:06.6) and the pole vault (7 feet, 6 inches).
Middletown swept the distance events as Kailei Foltmer added a first in the 3,200 (14:33.50).
The Mustangs also won both relays, capturing the 4×100 in 57.2 seconds and the 4×400 in 4:49.1.
Clear Lake’s Camille Donald also had a productive day with firsts in the high jump (4-4) and long jump (14-2) and a second in the 200 (30.5). Teammate Meghan Beare won the 300 hurdles (55.5) while Middletown’s Amy Herman won the 110 hurdles (20.4).
Varsity boys
Double-event winners in the varsity boys’ division were Kelseyville’s Andre Williams in the 1,600 (5:01.4) and 3,200 (11.19.0), Upper Lake’s David Becerra-Lopez in the 110 hurdles (18.7) and 300 hurdles (44.6), and Lower Lake’s Marlon Jones in the 100 (11.8) and 200 (24.6).
Kelseyville’s Roberto Lozano finished second in three events – 800, 1,600 and 3,200.
JV boys
Lower Lake racked up a handful of firsts in the junior varsity boys’ division.
The Trojans’ 4×100-meter JV relay team of Angel Jauregui, Charles Powell, Matthew Clausen and Jordan Lott finished first. In individual events, Hanzel Pelcastre won the 400 (1:01.5) and 1,600 (5:32.0) while Romeo Barrientos posted firsts in the 100 hurdles (20.4) and 300 hurdles (50.9). Powell also won the 200 (26.0) while Jauregui was first in the 800 (2:23.3).
While his 2016 track team is young — Lower Lake head coach Koda Livngston said 85 percent of the team is comprised of freshmen and sophomores of which nearly half are competing in track for the first time — the Trojans are loaded with promise.
“With so many new athletes to our program it is indeed impressive with the amount of growth we have achieved so far and scary to fathom the amount of potential soon to be tapped,” Livingston said. “We are working hard and having fun.”
