The Colonels' mile relay team of Derrick Bryant, David Harris, Marvin Burris and Rasiq Majied provided the margin of victory on their track.
Patrick Henry's Jamie Price was the top individual. He won the 100- and 220-yard dashes, and ran the second leg on the Patriots' winning 440 relay team.
In other boys' track:
In Christiansburg, the Blue Demons scored one of their biggest dual-meet victories in years by crushing rival Blacksburg 111-16 in a New River District matchup.
Christiansburg, one of the teams that figures to contend for the Group AA state boys' title, won 13 of 15 events. Andra Beasley was the only multiple winner, but he dominated, winning the shot put, long jump, triple jump and 200 and running lead leg on the victorious 400-meter relay team.
