Mumford's the word in Michigan high school track and field. Detroit Mumford's sprint-happy boys and girls swept Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 Lower Peninsula titles June 5 at Rockford.

The meet's big news for distance fans was Saline's boys winning the 3200-meter relay in a state-finals record 7:41.27, top prep time in the U.S. so far this season. The team's 800 split times were: Carter Bishop 1:54.7, Alex Muhs 1:59.0, Dustin Voss 1:54.2, and Neal Atzinger 1:53.0. The Hornets needed to fly to win: five teams finished under 7:52 on this sun-kissed day.

* Monroe Jefferson freshman Bekah Smeltzer sweeping D-2 girls titles in the 3200 (a division-record 10:40.66) and 1600 (4:59.46).
