CLOVIS — Benjamin Feyrer cleared the bar to earn a medal at the California Interscholastic Federation State Track and Field Championships.

Sol Bitners was on the mark toward setting a new record.

The two juniors on the Davis High boys and girls track and field teams respectively had good outings at the state meet, which was held at Veterans Memorial Stadium on the Buchanan High campus on Saturday.

Feyrer took eighth place in the boys’ pole vault, clearing the bar at 15 feet, 2 inches.

The Blue Devil was the only junior who earned a medal at the state meet.

The top eight in each field and running events earned a medal.

Bitner had a 13th place finish in the girls’ discus at 134 feet, 4 inches.

She also competed in the girls’ discus, taking 17th place with a toss of 37 feet, 8 inches. That mark is a new record in the DHS girls track program.

The Blue Devil boys’ 4x800 team, which took first place at the Sac-Joaquin Section Track and Field Masters Championship that were held at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium earlier this month, raced to a 10th place finish with a time of 7 minutes, 56.25 seconds.

The 4x800 race, for both boys and girls, is in its first year of competing among California high school track and field teams this school year.

Members of that relay team were Lucas Tam, Beckett Dolan, Brian Fackert, Jefferson Wright, Liam Lopez, Jay Doctor, Samuel Rosas and Ryan Mitchell.

Noah Dulaney, a senior, took 22nd place in the girls’ 1,600 meters race at 5 minutes, 28.79 seconds.
