ROGERS -- When there was a girls' meet record broken during the Whitey Smith Relay Carnival, the trio of Georgia Brain, Ashlyne Silcott and Cassidy Bennet were in the middle of it.
The trio helped Rogers set marks in the 4x100-meter hurdles shuffle, then did it again in the long jump relay during Friday's meet at Whitey Smith Stadium.

Brain, Silcott and Bennet finished with three of the four longest performances in the long and compiled a total distance of 51 feet, 2 inches, breaking the previous mark of 48-9 set by Bentonville in 2012. Those three then joined teammate Taia Alvis to turned a time of 1 minute, 7.36 seconds in the hurdle shuffle, breaking the previous mark of 1:07.90 set by Bentonville in 2012.
"Georgia had a fantastic night," Rogers coach Becky Efurd said of Brain, who had the best individual performances in the long jump (17-4.25) and the triple jump (35-6). "I ended up having to put a 300 hurdler in the shuffle, and she did amazing. She really stepped it up."
The same thing could be said about the Fayetteville trio of Isaiah Sategna, Solomon Evans and Sam Hurley as they helped the Bulldogs break two meet records. They first teamed with Cole Hastings in the 4x110 hurdles shuffle and turned in a time of 1:02.65, breaking the previous mark of 1:04.12 set by Bentonville in 2014.
Sategna, Evans and Hurley then cleared at least 6 feet in the high jump and gave Fayetteville a combined height of 18-8, breaking the previous mark of 17-6 set by Rogers Heritage in 2013.
"Rogers puts on a great meet, and it's fun for the kids," Fayetteville coach Drew Yoakum said. "We have some great kids in the hurdles that have been getting some times and putting a team together. I think this shows some of the skills they have, and some of those same ones were in the high jump.
"We've been consistent in the high jump. We don't have great heights, but we've been right at 6 feet. That's the deal with relays -- being consistent -- and that's what the kids came out and did."
Springdale Har-Ber's boys also had a hand in rewriting a couple of meet records. The first came in the 4x800 relay as the team of Jack Kees, Reuben Reina, Jadon Bartholomew and Ethan Carney turned in a time of 8:13.79, edging the previous mark of 8:13.92 set by Bentonville in 2011.
Bartholomew and Carney then teamed with Alec Kriesel and Jaime Calderon for the 4x400 relay, and the four of them turned in a time of 3:23.55, breaking the previous mark of 3:24.50 Har-Ber set in 2015.
Broken Arrow, Okla., swept both team titles. The Tigers used a meet record in the pole vault relay -- the final event -- to bounce back and edge Rogers by a 92-89 margin while Fayetteville was a close third with 80 points. On the girls side, even a good showing by Rogers' distance runners wasn't enough as Broken Arrow scored 109 to the Lady Mounties' 104.
Rogers' team of Anna Jeffcoat, Ali Nachtigal, Kate Nachtigal and Hailey Day started off the meet with a win in the 4x1,600 (22:19.47). They came back to win the 4x800 in 9:52.54, then won the distance medley relay in 13:17.39.
"My distance girls just killed it," Efurd said. "Bless their hearts; I'm feeding them gummy bears and telling them 'C'mon. Just one more race.' They were tanked."
