I/G girls, Whitehall boys win DC True Team meet

Distance events carried the Independence/Gilmanton girls team to a title, while the Whitehall boys team dominated the springs for its championship at the Dairyland Conference’s annual True Team meet hosted by Augusta last Thursday.

The meet scores every competitor with first-place finishers earning 30 team points and the point total decreasing from then on. The meet was separated into small and large schools with both Whitehall and I/G competing in the large school division and Blair-Taylor against the small schools. 

I/G’s Taylor Sylla won both the 3200 and 1600 runs and the team took at least two of the top three spots in both. Sophia Kampa was the runner up in the 1600 and Angie Martinez took third in the same race. Kia Back was second in the 1600. 

The Indees also got a win from Anna Kent in the 400, while she also ran on the first-place 1600- and 3200-relay teams. She was joined by Back, Allie Sylla and Rielynn Sheahan on the 3200 team and Sylla, Kampa and Shawna Whitewater on the 1600 team. The 400-relay team of Whitewater, Sheahan, Nora Schank and Natalie Konter also took first.

The Whitehall boys team, meanwhile, dominated the sprints, taking the top three spots in both the 100 and 200 races. Caydan Johnston won both races while Kivn Juresh was second in the 100 and Mason Przybylla took third. Devin Hutsell took second in the 200 and Juresh was third. Johnston also won the triple jump for three first-place finishes on the day.

The Norse also won a distance race with Armelio Hemenway claiming the 1600 title.
