AS ON THE BOYS SIDE, there was plenty of notable girls action in the trio of season-ending “championship” meets.
The action at New Balance was marked by the relay dominance of Maryland’s Bullis (Potomac). The 4×2 squad put up the No. 8 performance all-time with a year-leading 1:34.68, while the 4×4 added another leader with its 3:40.73. More wins came in the 4×1 (45.96) and the shuttle hurdles, where a 56.53 ranks as No. 6 all-time.
Myla Green of Bullis took the 400 hurdles in 58.27. Jasmine Harmon (Fayette, Fayetteville, Georgia) won the 100 hurdles in 13.44 over Greene’s 13.69.
The top individual performance was the list-leading 21-2½ in the long jump by Alyssa Jones (Southridge, Miami)
Pioneer (Ann Arbor) won a pair of distance relays, the distance medley in 11:42.78 and the 4 x Mile in 20:08.62.
Nike tended to draw the better women’s fields on the track. Roisin Willis (Stevens Point, Wisconsin) captured the 400 in 52.64, while Addy Wiley (North, Huntington, Indiana) won the 2-lapper in 2:04.64.
Frosh Sadie Engelhardt (Ventura, Ca) won the mile from the front in 4:38.40. Kate Peters (Lake Oswego, Oregon) moved to No. 9 among 2-milers with her 9:51.48.
Akala Garrett (Harding, Charlotte) won a sharp hurdle double in 13.44/57.46.
Colorado’s Niwot dominated the distance relays, running HS leaders in the 4×8 (8:51.75), 4 x Mile (19:48.13; outdoor leader, No. 4 ever) and another outdoor leader in the distance medley (11:33.91).
Amanda Moll won the vault with the =7th best jump ever, 14-8, as sister Hana was 2nd at 13-10. The heptathlon went in a year-leading 5122 to Shaina Zinter (Concordia, Roseville, Minnesota).
The highlights at adidas came from JaMeesia Ford (Britt, Fayetteville, NC), who won the long sprints in 23.57 and 53.42; and vaulter Tessa Mudd (Charleston, Johns Island, SC), who cleared 14-3¼.
