Cedar Crest Sweeps Lebanon in Return Trip to the County Capital

Just three days after both of its teams claimed Lebanon County Championship titles at the same venue, Cedar Crest returned to Lebanon on Monday for a Section 1 dual meet against the Cedars. Under warm, sunny conditions, the Falcons kept their momentum rolling with a sweep, though Lebanon also turned in several promising individual performances throughout the meet.

Cedar Crest took the girls meet 130-14 and the boys meet 114-36. For the Cedar Crest boys, the win secured the Section 1 Championship.

Girls Recap: Cedar Crest 130, Lebanon 14

Cedar Crest controlled the girls meet from the start, using its sprint depth, hurdles strength, and field-event advantage to build a commanding team score.

The Falcons swept the top three spots in the 100m, led by Paris Jarrells, Miley Bowers, and Briannah Rose. Cedar Crest also went one-two in the 200m behind Briannah Rose and Miley Bowers, while Jordan Ketner and Emma Klinefinished first and second in the 400m. In the distance events, Carly Atkins won the 800m, Sophie Meli took the 1600m, and Vivian Doster claimed the 3200m.

In the hurdles, Eliana Schneider captured the 100m Hurdles and Addison Kline won the 300m Hurdles. The Falcons also won both relays, posting a 50.23 in the 4x100m and a 4:32.58 in the 4x400m.

Lebanon’s best event on the girls side came in the Triple Jump, where Cayleigh Shaak earned first place with a mark of 32’2.25”. The Cedars also got a pair of second-place finishes from Lizbeth Ortiz in the Javelin and Shaak in the Long Jump, plus a strong effort from Natalina Harrison in the High Jump.

Cedar Crest’s field events were another major difference-maker. Mikayla Fripps swept the throws by winning both the Shot Put and Discus, Olivia Cuthie took the Javelin, Paris Jarrells won the High Jump, Jesslyn Risser captured the Pole Vault, and Eliana Schneider added a Long Jump victory.
