TAMPA — Hillsborough sophomore Jeremiah Green didn't bank on the spotlight searing him like a heat lamp Saturday.
"Ooh, that sun was beating me down," Green said as dusk arrived at the second annual USF/Steinbrenner Invitational. "That sun was like a hawk on your back."
Jumping, sprinting and basting (sometimes all at once), Green was, arguably, the busiest member of a Terriers team that repeated as boys champion of the 12-hour meet. Hillsborough's 64 points were 16 more than runnerup Countryside.
They were only two of 79 schools that converged on USF's campus. Meet organizer (and Steinbrenner girls coach) Ladd Baldwin said there were more than 2,000 entrants with a peak on-track temperature of 102 degrees reported.
Green won the triple jump with a personal-best 45 feet, 9 inches, placed seventh in the 200 meters, ran the 100 and did a leg of the 4x100 relay that placed fifth.
Evan Jennings was the Terriers' only other individual champ (300 hurdles).
Also enjoying a sweltering day in the sun was Chamberlain junior Max del Monte, who won the 1,600 (4 minutes, 18.47 seconds) by pulling away in the final quarter-mile after being boxed in early. del Monte's coaches hand-timed his last quarter at 59 seconds.
"I'd say for the first 800 meters, it was all over the place. There was absolutely no rhythm whatsoever," del Monte said. "There was just a lot of bumping around."
Alonso junior Brandon Holloway further cemented his status as the bay area's premier 200 specialist, winning in a personal-best 21.47. Holloway also placed fourth in the 100.
"My start was perfect," Holloway said of the 200. "That's what I was trying to do the whole time; get a good start because I knew my time would go down."
Holloway capped a sparkling day for the Ravens boys, who also got wins from Franklyn Mosely in the 400 (49.25) and Gigi Petion in the high jump (6-6) en route to a third-place finish (49 points).
Capping the meet was Newsome's boys 4x400 relay, whose 3:23.46 marked its second personal best in as many weeks. The Wolves rallied in the final lap to win last weekend's Charles Johnson Invitational.
Orlando Evans won the girls meet with 56 points. Hillsborough, in fourth with 39, was the county's top finisher.
