WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A pair of Danville High School boys indoor track records fell on Thursday night at the West Lafayette Relays.

Senior Cameron Ford, a state placewinner in the discus a year ago, etched his name into the school’s record books for the shot put with a toss of 55 feet, 8½ inches. Ford broke the previous record by eight inches.

The other record that fell on Thursday night at Purdue’s indoor track was the 800-meter relay mark of 1 minute, 32.2 seconds set back in 1983.

The team of Anthony Bacoat, Solomon Crenshaw, TaJuan Jackson and MykeTez Forman established a new mark of 1:30.91 on Thursday night.

In addition to the two records, the Vikings also got first-place finishes from David Groves in the 55 hurdles (7.93) and Crenshaw in the long jump (22-4¾). Crenshaw was also second in the 55 dash (6.56), while Bacoat was fourth (6.62).

Tonight, Danville High is hosting the Big 12 Conference girls indoor track meet starting at 4:30 p.m.

On Saturday, the Vikings will host the Danville Open beginning at 11 a.m.
