The Greyhounds won the meet 72-60. While Carmel won seven of the 16 events, that also included 1-2-3 finishes in two events. Phoebe Bates led the way in the 800 run, with Sydney Haines second and Anna Morozov third in that race.
The ‘Hounds also swept the long jump, with Ellie Clark winning and Molly Kracht and Jasmine Middleton tying for second. Reagan Hune led a 1-2 finish in the 100 dash with Carly Markley second, and Carmel also went 1-2 in the 1600 run; Maddie Dalton won and Lindsey Roper was second.
Other Greyhound winners were Bates in the 3200 run, the 4×800 relay team and Kara Deady, who set a new school record in the pole vault with a leap of 12 feet, 6 inches.
“What a beautiful night for a meet,” said Carmel coach Aaron McRill. “After the meet was postponed a day, we were greeted with near perfect meet conditions. We saw so many good thing from start to finish. Our kids continue to improve from top to bottom and hopefully we can continue this trend when we return from our spring break.”
The Royals won nine events, including a sweep of the 200 dash. Tierra Sydnor won that race, with Olivia Burgess second and Angela Perry third.
Mia Mackenzie was a triple winner by taking both the 100 and 300 hurdles events in addition to the long jump. Valerie Obear picked up two victories, sweeping the shot put and discus. Mya Hammons won the 400 dash, and Southeastern was first in the 4×100 and 4×400 relays.
