Hamilton Southeastern cruised to victory at the Hoosier Crossroads Conference girls track and field championships, which took place Tuesday at Zionsville.
The No. 2-ranked Royals scored 162 points, putting them 50 points ahead of runner-up Brownsburg. Fishers tied for third place, with Noblesville sixth and Westfield seventh.
“It’s good that we won by so much, but we still got a lot of work to do in certain places,” said HSE coach Julie Alano. “There were some good performances, some meet records, so that’s good.”
Southeastern won eight events, setting three new meet records along the way. Camille Christopher dominated the 200 dash in a meet record time of 24.85 seconds. Tierra Sydnor flew to victory in the 400 dash, with her record time of 57.28 seconds nearly three seconds ahead of second place. And Kennedy Drish broke a meet and HSE school record by winning the pole vault with a leap of 12 feet, 10 inches.
Christopher also won the 100 dash and Sydnor picked up a win in the long jump. Mia Mackenzie finished first in the 100 hurdles and Valerie Obear won the discus with a best throw of 142-1, which Alano said was a new personal best by 10 feet. The Royals were first in the 4×100 relay.
The Tigers scored 101 points and had three runner-up finishes. Danielle Harrison was second in the 100 dash, while Tamia Perryman was the 200 dash runner-up and placed third in the 100. Fishers was also second in the 4×100 relay.
“We had a lot of outstanding performances,” said Tigers coach Andrew Belloli. “Kamya Lapsley ran a fantastic 800, finished third, but that was a crazy fast 800-meter race there.”
Belloli also credited Corinne Yorkman with “great races” in the 1600 and 800 runs, Harrison for her sprint performances, and Miya Wai, who was racing for the first time in a couple weeks and did well in the 3200 run – “another loaded event,” said Belloli.
Noblesville had two runner-up finishes. Shelby Tyler tied a personal best by placing second in the high jump with a best effort of 5-11, while Erika Kneiper was the pole vault runner-up.
Westfield’s Gabby Dilick took second in the 3200 run.
