Noblesville’s Hannah Alexander sets two meet records
By RICHIE HALL
NOBLESVILLE – How close was the Hoosier Crossroads Conference girls track meet? About a hundredth of a second.
That was the margin by which Hamilton Southeastern freshman Anissa Lammie won the 200 dash. Lammie finished in a time of 24.56 seconds, just .01 seconds ahead of second place. That also made a difference in the point standings, as the Royals edged out Brownsburg to win the team championship. Southeastern scored 106.5 points, the runner-up Bulldogs scored 105.
Lammie
“I was just really going for the win, because I wanted our team to win,” said Lammie.
The Royals did quite a bit of winning at the HCC meet, which took place Tuesday at Noblesville’s Beaver Stadium. Southeastern claimed five events, with Lammie winning two. In addition to the 200 dash win, Lammie was first in the 400 dash in a new meet record time of 55.34 seconds.
The Royals gave themselves a head start to the team trophy by winning the 4×800 relay. Elizabeth Butler, Catey Campbell, Anna Irish and Maggie Powers ran that race in 9 minutes, 22.20 seconds. Butler would become a double winner later in the meet, taking the 3200 run in a new record time of 10:47.28.
Southeastern finished the meet with a victory in the 4×400 relay. Ciara Kepner, Addison Smith, Camryn McKinney and Chloe Senefeld clocked in at 3:57.50 for first place.
“There were tons, tons of personal bests across the board,” said HSE coach Julie Alano. “That’s what we’re looking for, how we compete in a meet like this. It’s the first meet with trials and finals. We want to know how that goes and how girls can handle that. Battling and competing, that’s what we’re looking for. Every point matters. Every little point matters. Even half-points matter.”

Two new records
Avon placed third with 99 points, followed by Noblesville, which took fourth with a strong 94 points. The Millers were led by throwing star Hannah Alexander, who set new HCC records in both of her events.
Alexander dominated the discus with a throw of 161 feet, 5 inches, over 44 feet ahead of second place. Alexander then took care of business in the shot put, making a winning throw of 45 feet, 2 inches. The senior said she wasn’t too far from her personal records in both events.
“I’m trying to conserve myself a little bit so that I can peak more towards state, do better later in the season,” said Alexander. “I still don’t think I’m doing too bad right now.”

Noblesville picked up two more victories in the meet. Delaney Teachnor was the pole vault winner with a best vault of 12 feet, 3 inches. Summer Rempe won the 800 run, with a time of 2:14.69.
Taylor
Fishers scored 72 points to place fifth. Maya Taylor led a 1-2 finish for the Tigers in the 100 dash. Taylor won in a time of 12.12 seconds, while Mireya Benjamin was second in 12.26 seconds.
“It’s fun,” said Taylor. “I’m glad that we’re both doing well and we’re both going to do big things.”
Westfield placed sixth with 61 points. Lucy Hauser swept the hurdles, winning the 100 race in 14.81 seconds and the 300 hurdles in 45.19 seconds.
“I think I ran pretty well,” said Hauser. While she said she had things to improve on, she was “pretty proud” of how she performed.
“We ran a hard meet on Friday night, so coming out and being able to perform has been awesome,” said Hauser.
