Parkersburg boys compiled 78 points in their meet. Runner-up St. Albans followed with 70. Huntington High was third with 58 and Cabell Midland fourth with 41.
Huntington High sprinter Daniel Brown won the 100 (11.06) and 200 (23.25). Brown was also fifth in the 400 (53.54).
The Huntington Highlanders were first in the 4x100 relay with Tyler Hutchison, C.J. Crawford, Tajh Goulds and Brown crossing the finish line in 44.57.
