Lafayette’s Garrick Piggott won the boys triple jump and York’s Sherelle White topped the girls 55-meter dash. They were the only individual winners by Bay Rivers District athletes in Saturday’s state Group AA indoor track meet at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

Piggott successfully defended his title with a jump of 45-6¾, more than nine inches longer than runner-up Ethan Nixon of Brookville.

White ran her 55 in 7.27 seconds, edging Grafton’s Michelle Speede by 0.10. Speede came back to finish third in the 300.

Western Albemarle won the boys championship with 57 points. Jamestown was sixth with 29 points.

On the girls side, Blacksburg won with 59 points. Jamestown’s 20th-place finish with 11 points was the best of the Bay Rivers girls. Bruton and York tied for 21st with 10.

Grafton’s Danny Sitton tied for second in the boys high jump at 6-4, while Jamestown’s Aurielle Green was second in the girls triple jump.
