Last year at this time, the Noblesville girls track and field team made history by winning its first-ever Lafayette Jefferson regional championship.
History repeated itself on Tuesday, as the Millers defended their regional title. Noblesville scored 96 points, winning three events along the way and qualifying 10 events to next weekend’s state tournament at Indiana University.
Kiana Siefert picked up a victory for Noblesville in the 300 hurdles (44.46 seconds), while Summer Rempe won the 800 run in 2 minutes, 13.34 seconds, improving her time by one second from last week’s sectional meet. Malina Miller triumphed in the high jump, with a big leap of 5 feet, 7 inches.
Siefert also qualified for state in the 100 hurdles and long jump. Hannah Alexander earned places at state in both the discus and shot put. Rylee Hassan qualified in the high jump, while Paige Hazelrigg advanced in the 1600 run, as did the Millers’ 4×800 relay.
Carmel placed second with 84 points and advanced seven to state. That included all three relays; the Greyhounds won the 4×400 and 4×800, while taking fourth in the 4×100 but doing so in a state standard time of 48.41 seconds, thus qualifying them for state.
Taylor Reagor triumphed in the discus event with a throw of 138 feet. Olivia Cebalo took second in the 400 dash in a new best time of 55.61 seconds, while Cambell Wamsley finished fourth, but her time of 56.80 seconds beat the state standard. Alivia Romaniuk also qualified in the 3200 run.
Hamilton Southeastern finished third by scoring 75 points. The Royals qualified nine events to state, with Ally Elsbury advancing in three. Elsbury won the 100 hurdles race (14.61 seconds), then qualified in the 300 hurdles and long jump.
Southeastern also advanced Maggie Powers in the 3200 run, Elia Blackmore in the 300 hurdles, Rosiebella Fiabema in the discus and all three relays.
Fishers placed sixth as a team with 41 points. Ella Scally advanced to state in three events, the 100 dash, 200 dash and the long jump.
Guerin Catholic’s Bridget Gallagher qualified for state by winning the 3200 run (11:04.48) and taking second in the 1600 dash. Hamilton Heights’ Kelsey Smith was second in the high jump, also advancing to state.
A handful of performances may be good enough to earn callbacks to state; those will be determined today.
