Indiana’s high school indoor track and field season is brief and fast.
Athletes that compete don’t have much time to make their mark indoors before the Hoosier State Relays and the beginning of the outdoor season, so they like to make the most of the various qualifiers that take place around the state. Already that has turned into some success.
For example, the Carmel girls team won the Metropolitan Conference indoor meet, which took place last Saturday at DePauw University. The Greyhounds edged out Center Grove 97-92 for the championship and won four events, including Amiyah James in the high jump and Kara Deady in the pole vault. Carmel also won the 4×800 and distance medley relays.
“This time of year is really tough for all the team as we all are still trying to see what pieces we have and where we currently stand,” said ‘Hounds coach Aaron McRill. “Winning the indoor MIC was a nice first step to the season, but we still have a long way to go and lots of work to do if we want to compete for a state title.”
Carmel’s boys finished second to North Central at the MIC, 96.5-91.5. Calvin Bates won the 3200 and the Greyhounds’ 4×800 relay also finished first.
Hamilton Southeastern hosted the HSE Blue and White meet last Saturday at DePauw. The girls won eight of the 11 events, including victories from seniors Camille Christopher (60 dash) and Mia Mackenzie (60 hurdles). In the boys meet, Fishers’ H.L. Lewis won the 60 dash and the Tigers swept all four relays. Guerin Catholic’s Quinn Gallagher was first in the 3200 run.
Here’s a complete list of events that have taken place thus far in the indoor season. In Saturday’s edition of the Reporter, find out who are among the top athletes in each event, and who is the running for a spot in the Hoosier State Relays.
