TOURNAMENT BRACKETS

Valor Christian CO 98, Lone Peak UT 38

Lone Peak accumulated 32 points on the track, including a victory in the 100-meter dash from senior Maddy Eaton, who also contributed to a win in the 4x100 relay. But the Knights managed only six points in the six field events, as Valor Christian picked up victories from Lizzie Waters, Sadie McMullen, Jane Powers and Hailey Rice, along with wins in the shot put and high jump from Anna Hall. The Eagles swept the 100-meter hurdles, high jump and triple jump, along with winning the 4x400, one of three relays where Valor Christian set all-time state records this season.

Centennial NV 81, Calabasas CA 55

Despite the prowess of Calabasas in the sprints, hurdles and relays, which gave the Coyotes a two-point edge on the track, Centennial demonstrated its depth in the six field events to score 41 points and pull away. De’Anna Nowling, Bella Witt and Kyla Robinson-Hubbard are among the country’s most explosive trios for Calabasas, but the Coyotes were shut out in all three distance events. Centennial also swept the high jump, pole vault and discus throw and received valuable points from Ashley Moore, Josephine Ruggieri, Kennedy Brace and Quincy Bonds.

Tahoma WA 79, South Eugene OR 57

The clash of Northwest powers also featured a contrast in strengths on the track, with Tahoma relying on Aliya Wilson, Adaji Osaro-Igwe and Alaina Brady in the sprints, hurdles and relays. But Madison Elmore led South Eugene to a sweep of the 800, 1,500 and 3,000 meters, helping the Axe accumulate 27 valuable points. Although South Eugene edged Tahoma by a two-point margin in the high jump, pole vault, shot put and discus throw, the Bears produced an impressive sweep in both the long jump and triple jump, relying on the combined efforts of Alisha Wilson, Bryana Rogers, Laena Tieng and Brady to prevail.

DeSoto TX 99.66, Edmond Memorial OK 27.33

One of the most impressive programs in tournament history, DeSoto demonstrated its depth from the outset, winning all but two events. Edmond Memorial received victories from seniors Addie O’Connor in the 800 meters and Anna Mitchell in the 3,200, but the Bulldogs managed only six more points on the track and only 11.33 points in the field. DeSoto swept the 100-meter hurdles, 200, 400 and triple jump, along with winning both relays. Rachel Anderson, Rebecca Anderson, Chloe Shaw and Mia Abraham showcased the versatility on DeSoto’s roster, with senior Brianna Washington demonstrating her strength in the throws.

Chandler AZ 87.5, Rosemount MN 48.5

The two-time national dual-meet champions extended their winning streak to 11 in a row, sweeping the 100, 200 and 400 meters, in addition to winning both relays, along with Morgan Foster capturing the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters.

Senior Delaney Bahn won four events and junior Terra Trom was part of three victories for Bozeman.

Fargo Davies ND 74, Lee’s Summit West MO 62

One of the surprise teams from last year’s tournament, Fargo Davies overcame the loss of both relays by sweeping the 100 and 200 meters, 100-meter hurdles and discus throw to advance for the second year in a row. Juniors Sally Korgho, AJ Eberhardt, Michaela Hjelseth, Emily Jahner and Kennedy Ohlhauser, along with sophomore Ellen Donat and eighth-grader Cece Deebom shined again for Davies. Seniors Jessica Haney, Maddie Harris and Ginger Murnieks, along with junior Madison Hulsey kept Lee’s Summit West within striking distance throughout.

Buchanan CA 93.5, Lancaster TX 42.5

Following the first state championship in program history, Buchanan relied on Meagen Lowe and Corie Smith to sweep the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters, in addition to showcasing its depth in the field events by also sweeping the triple jump, pole vault, shot put and discus throw. Buchanan relied on senior leadership all season, with Haley Abirached, Haley Barham, Maren Butler, Shelby Daniele and Aleeza Hassan all joining Lowe in producing victories. Lancaster won both relays and swept the 400 meters, led by junior Nala Stefanos, in addition to triumphs in the 100 hurdles from senior Kiara Smith and the long jump from junior Aysia Ward.

EAST REGIONAL

Buford GA 79, Panther Creek NC 57

Despite the exceptional efforts of junior Morgan Smalls in the 100-meter dash and all three jumps, along with senior Shannon Sefton winning the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, Panther Creek wasn’t able to match the depth of Buford, which swept the 200 meters, captured both relays and placed first and second in six additional events. The combined efforts of Phoenix Armstead, Kimberly Harris, Trinity Price, Alexa Rossum and Trinity Rossum helped Buford accumulate 59 points on the track. Seniors Imani Claud and Ebony Grant also provided valuable points in the throwing events for the Wolves.

Union Catholic NJ 103, Warwick PA 33

Annually one of the most well-rounded programs in the country, this year is no exception for Union Catholic, which won both relays, in addition to sweeping the 100-meter hurdles, 800, long jump, pole vault and shot put. Warwick received victories in the 200 meters from senior Leah Graybill, the 300-meter hurdles from sophomore Emily Skidmore and the 3,200 from senior Kate Dickow, but Union Catholic won all the remaining events. The Vikings amassed 47 points in field-event competition, highlighted by victories from Khamil Evans, Jada Mia Puryear, Alexandra Kwasnik, Hope Handlin, A’Liyah Thomas and Felicia Quainoo.

Homewood-Flossmoor IL 81, Lakota East OH 55

The efforts of Serena Clark in the 100 and 200 meters, along with Kelsi Harris and Danielle Horter in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters helped the Thunderhawks put the pressure on Homewood-Flossmoor, but the Vikings responded with 42 points in the field events, along with timely efforts from Kaylah McCall, Jasmyn Hunter and Ayah Mustafa in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles to pull away. Senior Lindsey Kluesener won the pole vault for Lakota East, but Homewood-Flossmoor was victorious in the remaining field events, led by seniors Madison Myrick and Trinity Daniels.

St. Thomas Aquinas FL 98, James Clemens AL 38

Ashlee Osaji was impressive for James Clemens with victories in the 400, long jump and triple jump, along with a second-place finish in the 200. But the rest of the Jets’ lineup only managed 20 points against a deep and powerful St. Thomas Aquinas lineup, which demonstrated throughout the year that it is not only capable of being the best team in its own state, but possibly the country. The sprint trio of Zahria Allers, Jermecia Brown and Zatoria Thompson dominated the 100 for the Raiders, who also relied on Emelia Chatfield, Alexis Glasco and Eddiyah Frye to sweep both hurdles events and contribute to a pair of relay victories.

Campbell GA 89, Hillcrest SC 38

In one of the strongest years for Georgia programs in recent memory, Campbell demonstrated it had the right combination of speed on the track and depth in the field events to emerge as one of the most balanced teams in the country. The Spartans swept both hurdles, won two exceptionally fast relay races against the South Carolina record-holders, and also the discus, to overwhelm Hillcrest, which managed wins only from sophomore Camille Egbula in the 800 and 1,600 meters, along with sophomore Kieran Martin in the long jump. Zionn Rice, Ashton Lindley and Raina Perry sparked the hurdles sweep and contributed to the relay success for Campbell, which had Otieno Jamila and Lailah Malone excel in the throws.

Western Branch VA 64, North Central IN 62

Last year’s national runner-up, Western Branch escaped a potential opening-round loss for the first time in tournament history by sweeping the high jump and taking the top two spots in the 100-meter hurdles, 800 meters and triple jump to overcome being swept in the 3,200 and losing both relays against a formidable North Central lineup. Freshman Ramiah Elliott demonstrated how bright her future can be, with senior Alyssa-Simone Robinson and junior Skylynn Blue-Williams adding valuable points in the sprints for North Central, which also received important contributions in the hurdles from junior Chanler Robinson. Imani Gaston, Ltamra Weeks, Nylah Wiggins, Adriana Shockley and sisters Shadajah Ballard and Na’Taja Ballard helped Western Branch rally for the victory.  

Bullis School MD 85, Muskego WI 51

The teams split the six field events, scoring 27 points apiece, but Bullis reminded the rest of the country why it boasts one of the strongest collections of sprint, hurdle and relay talent nationally. Muskego scored its remaining 24 points by sweeping the 1,600 and 3,200, along with taking first and third place in the 800, led by Kate Sperka, Kate Jochims, Brittany Helm, Rachel Helm and Ani Oxborough. But Bullis prevailed in both relays, along with sweeping the 100, 200, 400 and both hurdles events. The long jump and high jump were also significant for the Bulldogs, who relied on Lauren Harris, Aniella Delafosse, Sierra Leonard, Azariah Reid and Alexis Emery to contribute 17 points.

Miami Northwestern FL 90, Oak Park MI 36

The inaugural girls national dual-meet champion in 2016, Miami Northwestern has continued to remain one of the country’s elite programs, despite overcoming significant losses to graduation. The approach has continued to remain the same for the Bulls, focusing on strength in numbers, allowing them to sweep the 100-meter dash and triple jump, along with taking the top two spots in five additional events. Juniors Jayla Jones and Aasia Laurencin, along with freshman Chloe Vines, produced the only individual victories for Oak Park, which also won the 4x400 relay. Alyssa Richard remained a significant presence in the throws for Miami Northwestern, which also received impressive efforts in the horizontal jumps from seniors Dascha Robinson and Christon Kingcade.
