City runners, jumpers and throwers had their moments at the state outdoor track championships Saturday.

At the Class A meet in Windham, Cheverus girls led a tightly-bunched pack midway through, but ultimately wound up fourth with 49 points. Bonny Eagle pulled a mild surprise, edging perennial power Scarborough (82-78) to win the title. Deering came in 11th with 25 points. Portland (4) tied for 20th.

Bonny Eagle won the boys’ title as well, 94-90, over Edward Little. The Stags were fourth on that side also with 52 points. Portland came in 12th with 20 points. Deering, which didn’t score a year ago, (17) placed 14th.

At the Class C meet in Bath, Waynflete’s boys tied for 27th with 4 points. Maranacook (75) won the title. The girls also tied for 27th with 2 points. Traip (79) came in first.
