The Mentor boys are no strangers to loading plenty of hardware back onto the bus when they make their annual trek to the Euclid Relays. The 2025 edition May 8 was no exception, as the Cardinals secured the most important piece of hardware, led by part by a freshman still harnessing his newly found spring craft.

As the inaugural edition of the North Coast Conference meet wound down May 7, Kayla Harris assisted in disassembling Beaumont’s team tent on the grass at Padua just outside the fence.

🎽 Here are NH area top 3s from WED league meets - I'm honestly not sure if boys discus or PV ever ended at GCC - Looks like CVC Metro/Valley ended early, thus no 4x4s there - I don't see NAC, so I'll add any Fairport top-3s there to THU results Good night ✌️ https://t.co/9D6ZaA1pKV
🎽 BTW, I did not forget about NH area top-3s today I'm getting there - CVC Metro/Valley Day 2, NAC & GCC where I was I'll get that done in the next half-hour or so
