The Northern Lebanon girls stayed competitive throughout the meet and came away with several standout efforts across both the track and field. Joby Long led the way with a win in the 100m hurdles and another first-place finish in the pole vault, while Ella Carpenter gave the Vikings a victory in the 300m hurdles.

Northern Lebanon also found success in the distance and field events. Elsie Shuey won the 800m in a tight race, Mackenzie Miller captured the triple jump, and Katy Light added a win in the javelin. The Vikings also swept the top three spots in the high jump, with Saoirse Phillips, Hope Shaffer, and Emma Yordy going 1-2-3.

Donegal’s depth on the track proved to be the difference in the team score. The Indians picked up wins in both relays, the 100m, 200m, 400m, 1600m, and 3200m, while also getting big points in the throws and long jump. Shaker was especially productive, factoring into wins in the 400m and long jump while also taking second in the 100m dash.

Boys Recap: Northern Lebanon 82, Donegal 58

Northern Lebanon’s boys put together a balanced effort and used their strength in key scoring events to come away with the team win. Luke Hentz was one of the day’s top performers, winning both the 1600m and the 800m, while Anthony Frederick added another distance victory in the 3200m.

Donegal had some big moments of its own, especially in the sprints and hurdles.
