Going
the distance
Two
weeks ago, sisters Kristen and Lauren Johnson set Hoosier Conference
records in the two longest high school track events. Kristen won the
1,600 in 5:04.72 and Lauren won the 3,200 in 10:56.18, both
champions.
Afterwards,
both said they were eager to test those marks in the regional against
some of the state’s top distance runners. Both of the marks by the
West Lafayette sophomores from their conference meet would’ve been
good enough for second place in the Guerin Catholic Sectional.
Carmel’s
Kelcy Welch brings her time of 10:56.02 from last week’s sectional
meet into the girls track sectional at West Lafayette on Tuesday.
Hamilton Southeastern’s Rachel Nichwitz won the 1,600 in 5:01.43.
The top three individuals in each event advance to the state meet.

Lafayette
Jeff’s speedsters led the Bronchos to a runner-up finish in the
state finals last year.
Though
the unit is not as deep as a year ago, Jeff still possesses some big
point scorers, led by defending 100 meter state champion Matt
Johnson. Johnson broke his own Lafayette Jeff Sectional record in the
event last Thursday, winning in 10.59 seconds.
Johnson
is the defending regional champion and defeated some of his top
competition in Thursday’s race in doing so. Carmel’s Austin
Roberts and Josh Ebikwo finished 1-2 at the Carmel Sectional last
Thursday.
