Warren Central didn’t win the most events April 17 at the annual Royal Relays, but the fourth-ranked Warriors (112.5 points) still were able to capture the team title with a 7.5-point victory over runner-up host #12 Hamilton Southeastern.
The Royals (105) were a surprise second-place finisher in this uniquely formatted eight-team competition that pairs up athletes in the field events, outdueling third-ranked Pike by 10.5 points in trailing only victorious Warren Central. No. 6 Lawrence North (92) finished fourth, with 13th-ranked North Central (Indianapolis) fifth at 73 and No. 2 Fort Wayne Northrop (69) sixth.
“This is always a great meet,” said HSE coach Julie Alano, who cited the 34 team points from Brooke Morgan and Jessica Postlewaite – 5:14.44 and 5:20.74, respectively, in placing first and third in the 1600 meters, 11:35.39 and 11:42.50 in going 1-2 in the 3200 – as being crucial to the Royals’ runner-up finish.
“With the relays and different events, it is always close.”
Among other notable efforts on a cool, sunny Saturday was Lawrence North’s impressive 3:53.89 meet record in the 4×400 meter relay from the Wildcats’ foursome of Majaica Brooks, Ashley Spencer, Antonia Franklin, and Ahlivia Spencer. That smashed the seven-year old mark of 3:58.22 set by Warren Central’s B. Cunningham, L. Assefa, A. Seehase, and B. Adams.
Pike’s Morgan Yeadon also set a new meet mark with her :11.8 in the 100-meter dash – one of four first-place finishes for the Red Devils. The others were Chelsea Yeadon in the long jump (16-11.50), Elizabeth Herron in the pole vault (10-06.00), and the 4×200 meter relay unit of Lauren Ford, Chelsea Yeadon, Terrice Hooks, and Eshe Austin in 1:47.85.
Warren Central’s wins came in the 4×100 meter shuttle hurdle (1:09.95 from an unknown first-leg runner, India Williams, Geoyia Nightengale, and Tiariana Herron), the 4×100 meter relay (:49.71 from Brianna Aikens, Logan Hayes, Shannon Parker, and Latisha Martin) and Hayes (:57.65) leading Martin (:58.31) to a 1-2 finish in the 400 meters.
Lawrence North had two other team wins on the day in addition to the blazing-fast efforts of its 4×4 relay grouping. The foursome of Stephanie Madsen, Brooks, Marie Richardson, and Sarah Field took the distance medley in 13:21.16, while Ashley Spencer won the 300 hurdles in :45.02.
North Central got a pair of individual victories in the discus from Mercedes Montgomery (122-02) and the high jump by Morayo Akande (5-05.00). Fort Wayne Northrop’s lone win came in the shot put, where Sidra Sherrill posted a 40-01.25.
