MARION – A trio of area track standouts earned All-State honors Saturday during the Hoosier State Relays State Finals.

The Wawasee duo of JJ Gilmer and Clayton Cook, along with Warsaw’s Seth Fouts, all had impressive performances to cap the indoor season at Indiana Wesleyan University.

Gilmer cleared 6-4 to earn a fourth-place finish in the high jump. Gilmer was a regional champion and placed fourth at the State Finals in 2013.

Cook clocked in at 8.45 in the 60-meter high hurdles to notch a seventh-place finish for coach Scott Lancaster’s team.

Fouts, a senior, led the Tigers with a fourth place finish in the shot put with a throw of 56’1.25.  Fouts was a regional champion and placed sixth in the shot at the State Finals a year ago.

Coach Matt Thacker’s Tigers, who were fifth at the State Finals as a team in 2013, had a pair of relay teams just missing earning All-State honors.

The foursome of Mike Miller, Tristan McClone, Gabe Furnivall and Tanner Balazs placed ninth in the 4 X 200 in a time of 1:33. The 4 X 400 team of Funivall, Ryan Goon, Chad Goon and Landon Perry also placed ninth in a time of 3:32.86.

Miller was 16th in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.14 and Caleb Klusman was 17th in the 60-meter hurdles in a time of 8.82. The 4 X 800 relay team of Daniel Messenger, Owen Glogovsky, Nick Bergen and Tyler Houvener was 16th in a time of 8:26.43.

Both Wawasee and Warsaw are scheduled to open their outdoor seasons this Thursday. The Warriors host West Noble and Warsaw travels to Fort Wayne Snider.

Both teams have already had prior meets this week cancelled due to the weather forecast.  Wawasee cancelled its home meet Monday versus Columbia City and Warsaw scratched its home meet with East Noble Tuesday. Both of those meets were cancelled last week.
