LAUREL — Meet records fell Tuesday at the annual Midland Roundtable Top 10, including two sprint marks that had stood for more than three decades.
Columbus sophomore Buck Prather was one of the top performers of the day, as he either set or matched previous records in the 100 and 200 meters at the Laurel Sports Complex.
WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS:
Prather's 21.61 personal-record clocking in the 200 meters eclipsed the previous meet standard of 21.8 set by Billings West's Jon Ueland in 1994. Earlier in the afternoon, Prather tied the meet record in the 100 with another PR of 10.75, matching the mark last established by Billings Skyview's Brandon Pearce in 2009.
Billings Senior sprinter Emery Peel wasn't to be outdone. She also PR'd in two sprint races and broke a 32-year old meet record in the 200 meters. Peel's time of 25.04 topped the 25.2 of Billings Central legend Christy Otte in that '94 season. Peel won the 100 meters on Tuesday in 12.03.
Two other Midland Roundtable meet standards were toppled in the boys discus and the girls 1,600 meters.

In the girls 1,600, Billings Central freshman Addison Kegel finished in 4:52.86 to overcome the record of 4:54.94 set by Bozeman High's Camilla Noe in 2018. Kegel was also a double winner on Tuesday by claiming the 800 in PR time of 2:14.17.
