Kate Muskat was one of a half-dozen athletes who doubled their pleasure Wednesday at the annual City track and field meet at Tech High School, but the Bishop Chatard High School sophomore was the only one whose twin wins were sure to be part of a team title.

Paced by Muskat's victories in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, Chatard's seventh-ranked girls built an insurmountable 139-113 lead over rival Cathedral to repeat their City title in a steady rain that prevented the pole vault from being contested.

With the pole vault still out, the boys competition was too close to decide as the unranked Irish led the No. 19 Trojans 113-102.5. Both teams have two athletes in the outstanding event, which was rescheduled for 4 p.m. at Heritage Christian, just before the City freshman meet.

"There's a lot of competition, but this is a great track," said Muskat, who said the rain didn't bother her as she won the 100 in 12.64 seconds and the 200 in 25.97. "We all pitch in for those extra points. They all count."

Junior Maggie Cappel, who ran legs on two blue-ribbon relays, said the team title was significant for the Trojans.

"We won last year, but we lost a lot of seniors," said Cappel, who along with Aileen Eck, Carly Sobolewski and Amy Davis claimed the 4x800 relay in 10:15.81 and later joined Ebony Robinson, Lindsey Laconi and Annie Barnes to capture the 4x400 relay in 4:15.83. "Coming back to win again helps our confidence."

Cathedral put itself in position to reclaim its first boys title since 2002 despite having no event winners.

"In almost every event, we did a little better than expected," Irish coach Tom Gallagher said, pointing to Blake Westerman's second to Chatard's Todd Leone in the 800 and a 3-4 effort from Conor Bindner and Josh Smith behind Chatard's Andrew Poore and Aaron Kremer in the 3,200 as pivotal.

Still, Chatard hung tough behind Poore, who won the 1,600 (4:28.01), 3,200 (9:44.25) and joined with Seth Ball, Chris Dietrick and Leone for a meet-record 8:05.54 in the 4x-800 relay, plus Leone, who also won the 800 (2:02.34) and teamed with Dietrick, E.J. Oruche and Brandon Newbern on the champion 4x400 relay (3:28.70).

"We tried to lean on our distance people," Chatard coach Dan Kinghorn said.

Manual senior David Sawyers was another double winner and set a meet record of 40.27 in the 300 hurdles; other dual champions were Howe junior Kendal Downing and Washington junior Leon Muir in the boys meet and Cathedral sophomore Maia Eubanks among the girls.

"I was trying to do my best not only for Manual but for all of (Indianapolis Public Schools)," said Sawyers, who won the 110 high hurdles in 15.30 and nipped Cathedral's Colin Poling by one-hundredth of a second in the 300s. "The record is a big deal."

Downing's wins came in the long jump (19-113/4) and the 400 (49.95), while Muir captured both the shot put (50-81/2) and discus (146-2) in field events that were completed Wednesday.

"I wasn't expecting to do this well because I injured a hamstring (April 28)," Downing said. "I wasn't sure I'd be ready. I was keyed for the 400 because I was racing my cousin (runner-up Tony Duerson of Manual). I just had to beat him."

Eubanks' victories came in the 1,600, where she charged past Chatard's Amy Davis over the last 60 meters to win in 5:24.41, and the 800, where she prevailed in 2:24.37.

Irish junior Emily Breslin won the high jump (5-4) for the third consecutive year.
