The San Benito High School track teams finished second in the 11-team Samuelson Co-Ed Relays the school hosted Saturday.
It was one of the best fields of competition. Usually, there are no more than five or six teams present.
San Benito finished in second place behind North County 91-90 after a hurdles team was disqualified.
The North County frosh/soph team also placed first ahead of San Benito, 103-75.
The other scores were Piedmont Hills 63, King City 41, Alverez 40, Branham 35, Leland 20, Oak Grove 18, Monte Vista Christian 14, Independence 12 and Live Oak 8.
Amanda Boyd, Chad Tungate, Jaime O’brian and Jesse Rice recorded a time of 354.2 in the varsity 4×440, which is believed to be a school record.
“They did really well,” said coach Jen Logue. “It is a real young team after we lost several seniors last year. But we found out about their competitiveness. We tried kids in some new events. I am happy with their performance.”
Logue expects to have several athletes who played basketball joining the team today for practice.
