“We saw a lot of strong performances today and the athletes were happy we finally had some decent weather to compete in. The great marks and good conditions made for a really competitive atmosphere to perform in and one student’s success carried over to another and so on. That kind of success and positivity can really make or break a meet for a team,” said Houlton/GHCA assistant William Cliff.
Ariana Ardell claimed the individual title in the girl’s 200m race running a time of 27.89, just .05 seconds shy of a new school and program record. She also ran a runner-up performance in the girl’s 100m.
Teanne Ewings would defend her individual titles from a year ago in the 1600m, 800m, and 3200m races, while also scoring a runner-up position in the 400m. Her times in the 1600m (5:17.07) and 3200m (11:25.26) also established the new Championship Meet records for those events.

Natalie Johnson claimed a trifecta of runner-up positions in the girl’s 800m, 1600m, and 3200m – all of which she would set new personal best times in.
