EAST AURORA — East Aurora felt right at home at the Section VI Class B Track & Field Championships on Thursday.

Literally.

Not only was the Erie County high school the host of the event, but the Blue Devils claimed both the boys and girls team titles. The boys finished with 111 points to hold off second-place Falconer/Cassadaga Valley (93.5), while the girls collected 186 points to outdistance Springville, which finished second with 82.

The teenagers from the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association had a good day, though, collecting 12 first-place finishes overall, including nine by the boys.

Claiming firsts were Falconer/Cassadaga Valley’s Mathis Baher (400-meter hurdles), Nathan Bailey (pole vault), Riley Houghwot (high jump), Jase Smith (triple jump) and its 1,600-meter relay; and Fredonia’s Jayden Yerico, who won both the 200 meters and the 400 meters, Carlos Gonzalez (100 meters) and its 400-meter relay. As a team, the Fredonia boys placed fourth with 63 points.

For the girls, the ‘Billies captured three first places — their 400-meter relay, Ava Cook in the 100 meters and Gigi Ferro in the 200 meters. As a team, the Fredonia girls finished with 63 points, while the Golden Cougars had 36.
