Millers are runners-up, Tigers first in six individual events
By RICHIE HALL
FISHERS – The Hoosier Crossroads Conference girls track and field meet took place Wednesday at Fishers, after a one-day weather delay.
It was worth the wait, as each Hamilton County had reason to be happy after the meet. Hamilton Southeastern won the team championship, while Noblesville’s young talent led the Millers to a runner-up finish. Fishers placed fourth and won the most individual events with six. Westfield placed fifth and had several solid finishes.
The Royals totaled 134 points, using their trademark depth to take a lead by the middle of the meet and keep it to the finish. Southeastern scored points in every event, winning three of them.
Halle Hill led the way by taking first in the 1600 run and also placing second in the 800 run. The Royals also finished first in the 4×100 and 4×400 relays. Alyssa Barker ran on both relay teams, joined by Jadyn Durden, Jocelyn Davis and Daniela Rios-Rojas on the 4×100, and by Annice McFarland, Madisyn Etheredge and Regan Wans on the 4×400.
Wans also placed second in the 400 dash. Ally Elsbury was the 100 hurdles runner-up and Makenzie Loftin took second in the 300 hurdles.
“We had a lot of places that we came through with some big PRs,” said Royals coach Julie Alano. “Big PRs in the hurdles today. That was huge in both hurdle races with some great times there.”
Southeastern now has one more meet to go before it hosts the sectional on May 18. That would be the Hamilton County meet, scheduled for Tuesday at Carmel.
“We’ll work on some things, make sure we got everybody situated for the sectional, because the entries are not due until the next day,” said Alano. “We might try some different things, make sure we got who we want in for sectionals.”
Noblesville scored 112 points to take second place, also winning four events. Kiana Siefert swept the hurdles events, winning both the 100 and 300 hurdles by comfortable margins.
Freshman Hannah Alexander continued her great start to her high school career by winning the discus with a throw of 128 feet, 4 inches. Rylee Hassan won the high jump, while Malina Miller took second to give the Millers a 1-2 sweep.
Zionsville finished third by scoring 88 points, just ahead of fourth-place Fishers’ 87 points. The Tigers won the most events at the meet with six, three of them thanks to Ella Scally. The junior easily won the 100 and 200 dashes, and also won the long jump.
“I’m pretty confident about where I’m at,” said Scally. “I’ve been hitting pretty consistent PRs, so hopefully I’ll continue to do that.”
Fishers began the meet with a win in the 4×800 relay; Anna Runion, Megan Mybeck, Mia Yates and Elizabeth Barrett ran that race for the Tigers. Alison Casey finished first in the pole vault and Grace Carroll was first in the shot put.
Westfield scored 78 points to place fifth. Princess Campbell took second for the Shamrocks in the 100 dash. Alli McEvoy was solid in the throwing events, placing second in the discus and third in the shot put. Sydney Black took third in the long jump and Liz Smith was third in the 3200 run.
